Because of Miss Bridgerton
by Julia Quinn
Georgian Romance. Although their families have been friends and neighbors for generations, Billie Bridgerton and George Rokesby have never gotten along. She's a high-spirited hoyden (according to him), while he's the dull and pretentious heir to an earldom (according to her). They'd be a terrible match, no matter how much their parents might encourage them to marry. Funny how getting trapped on a rooftop with one's lifelong enemy can change one's perspective. Readers looking for an upbeat, charming historical romance can't do better than this prequel to Julia Quinn's long-running and popular Bridgerton series, which begins with The Duke and I.

However, if you prefer to read the books in order, start with It Had to Be You. |
