Story
In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours. Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent… not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she, and her King, needed. Because George has secrets… secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.

An arrogant duke does the unthinkable - he falls in love with his mistress.... She raced onto the green, desperate to stop a duel. In the mêlée, Jocelyn Dudley, Duke of Tresham, was shot. To his astonishment, Tresham found himself hiring the servant as his nurse. Jane Ingleby was far too bold for her own good.

Excellent story line with lots of unpredictable twists and turns

Publisher's Summary
The first novel in Julia Quinn's worldwide best-selling Bridgerton novels, now a series created by Shonda Rhimes for Netflix. This is the story of Daphne Bridgerton and the Duke: welcome to the ballrooms of Regency London.....
Can there be any greater challenge to London's Ambitious Mamas than an unmarried duke? Lady Whistledown's Society Papers, April 1813.
By all accounts, Simon Basset is on the verge of proposing to his best friend's sister, the lovely - and almost-on-the-shelf - Daphne Bridgerton. But the two of them know the truth - it's all an elaborate plan to keep Simon free from marriage-minded society mothers. And as for Daphne, surely she will attract some worthy suitors now that it seems a duke has declared her desirable....
Their ruse works like a charm - at first. But as Daphne waltzes across ballroom after ballroom with Simon, it's hard to remember that their courtship is a complete sham. Maybe it's his devilish smile, certainly it's the way his eyes seem to burn every time he looks at her. It wasn't the plan, but it seems she's falling for the duke, for real. And amidst the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat world of London's elite, there is only one certainty: love ignores every rule....
Critic Reviews
"The Duke and I is rich with author Julia Quinn's trademark humour and engaging dialogue.... Quinn just keeps getting better and better, a fact that's sure to delight readers." (Lois Faye Dyer)
"Light, pacy and full of feisty heroines." (Guardian on the Bridgerton series)
"Quinn is a master of historical romance." (Entertainment Weekly)

Pride and Prejudice it is not
Though set in the same era as the Jane Austen classic it does not have the same charm or depth of story. Its best to not take this novel too seriously - I am British and you can tell that this was written by someone who definitely is not - so many little things really snapped me out of the story. I personally found the romance a bit forced and the characters rather cliché. It's a good book when you don't want to think too much - though I could have gone without reading it.

An overhyped slightly better-written Mills& Boon
TW sexual assault…
An overhyped slightly better-written Mills& Boon.
Read this out of curiosity, after watching the Netflix adaptation. (The adaptation did it better, despite adding a rape scene)
However, back to this carriage-wreck. Simplistically written story, trying to imitate Austen. Not too bad. The only absolutely egregious sentence must have been included to satisfy the American audience’s need’s. At one stage… (paraphrasing) “The Duke falls and lands on his *FANNY*”!!! So, unless he also has a vulva, I believe the word the author wanted to use, was, “BOTTOM”; “BACKSIDE”; BRITCHES”… or other such word to show that he’d taken a seat on his arse!
Do not think I could stomach the next 7 (+ extra) Bridgerton Novels. I’ll wait for Shonda’s Season 2!

possibly the worst book I've read in the last 5 yr
Awful writing, the author probably had a 50 word vocab they recycled constantly. One dimensional characters and problematic martial r*pe content. Would not recommend to anyone.

I can't believe they made a tv show out of this
I love the TV show so thought I would give the book a try but i found all of the characters a bit 9ne dimensional and the story a bit boring, I also just found it really jarring that people wouldn't have spoken to each other in the way the book is written and I don't find it cleaver or funny at all, I may have laughed once. I will stick with the TV series.

Give up and go read Jane Austen
Terrible. After all the hype of the TV series I thought I'd read the book first and wow this is such a disappointment. Characters are so shallow with such a minor arc of development you can see where the story is going from a long way ahead. No subplots or side stories of other characters. Just one boring plot about having or not having children. Blah Blah Blah. It is an insult for the author to quote Jane Austen in the final chapter - this book is nowhere near worthy of having her words anywhere near it!

Unconvincing dialogue and shallow characters
The way the characters talk, their actions and the choice of vocabulary are quite unconvincing and unbelievable for an early 19th century setting.

Fairy floss
Not clever or thoughtful literature. Kind of like eating fairy floss- distracting enough, but character development derailed after first third, and predictable in plot.
