The Bridgertons are back! I love the Bridgerton series of romance novels by Julia Quinn and finished this latest in one day. The Bridgerton series revolves around Violet and Edmund Bridgerton's 8 children: Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory, and Hyacinth and how they meet and fall in love with their respective spouses.
The Miss Bridgerton in question is Billie (Sybilla) Bridgerton; her brother Edmund is the patriarch of the Bridgerton clan in the original series. Julia Quinn decided to go backwards to the Georgian times and write about an earlier generation of Bridgertons. This is Book 1 of the Rokesby series.
Billie Bridgerton cannot stand George Rokesby, although the Bridgertons and Rokesbys are good family friends and neighbors in Kent. In true Julia Quinn fashion, Billie and George are thrown together (a cat was involved) and slowly begin to realize that the other is not quite as horrible as once thought. As usual, there is tons of witty and hilarious banter, a rather cutthroat game of croquet (but what other kind is there?), the aforementioned cat, and much more.
