About the author
Julia Quinn
195 books46.2k followers#1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn loves to dispel the myth that smart women don't read (or write) romance, and and if you watch reruns of the game show The Weakest Link you might just catch her winning the $79,000 jackpot. She displayed a decided lack of knowledge about baseball, country music, and plush toys, but she is proud to say that she aced all things British and literary, answered all of her history and geography questions correctly, and knew that there was a Da Vinci long before there was a code.
A graduate of Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges, Ms. Quinn is one of only sixteen members of Romance Writers of America’s Hall of Fame. Her books have been translated into 32 languages, and she lives with her family in the Pacific Northwest.
The Bridgertons, her popular series of historical romance, is currently in production by Shondaland as a Netflix original series starring Julie Andrews, Phoebe Dynevor, and Rége-Jean Page.

Duke & I: it was good, I think the Netflix show made daphnes love life a little more interesting than the book did - 4.5/10
The viscount who loved me: The book touched on topics like trauma that isn’t commonly displayed from that era. I loved the book but I had to say the Netflix adaptation was 1000/10 but if I had to rate the book, I would say 7.5/10
An offer from a gentleman: Absolutely obsessed with this. It was giving Cinderella and I’m totally here for it. Benedict is a man written by a women and I think he deserves all the happiness in the world. I LOVED this siblings story line - 10/10
Romancing Mr Bridgerton: for a love that’s been burning for a long time, I feel like the author could’ve done a better job in leading up to the climax of this relationship. I love Penelope but I feel like she deserved a longer burning romance and there should’ve been move depth to that relationship too. - 6.5/10
To Sir Phillip, with love: I think Eloise embodies white/rich privilege too much, it just doesn’t read too well. I think the book was greatly written but her story plot was just a little underwhelming - 5/10
When he was wicked: This book has me on absolute chokehold. I will re-read this book until I’ve memorised every line. It was phenomenal, I can’t fault the literature and the story was just *chefs kiss*. The slow burning romance, the pressure, the passion. I’ve never been so invested in a Julia Quinn book in my life. - 10/10
It’s in his kiss: This book was fairly well, again, the literature was fine. The story was nice. That’s all I can say about the book, it was nice and cute. They had an innocent romance that grew with time and I quite liked this book because of it. - 7/10
On the way to the wedding: I can’t fault the writing but I do feel like there should’ve been a slower burning romance between the main characters, it should’ve been a bit more plot twists to keep it interesting. Wasn’t a huge fan though. - 5/10

I gotta admit, I genuinely thought I would end up reading the Bridgerton books after watching the show. I try not to be one for dumb fads, but it was being talked about enough that I figured, hey, this show has to have something fantastic in it if it’s that popular. Okay, and Alex Meyers talked me into it.
So, naturally, since I’m such a book fanatic that automatically translates into “I must now read the book and compare.”
Well, almost...
You see, I had a couple criticisms of the show. The biggest one was the issue of consent, because damn they royally fucked that up. It wasn’t just that Daphne was woefully in the dark about what it all meant—and sure, there’s historical context and all that, but come on—and kind of taken advantage of. But, there’s literal and intentional rape later on that everyone just brushed off because it was a woman doing it and she was angry cause he lied to her.
And fuck, I was not expecting that.
So, not only did she completely lose all right and credibility in her anger...she took away his ability to consent. And, spoiler alert I suppose, but she didn’t really ever learn from this, apologize, or deal with any real consequences. In fact, she just I’m honestly still in a state of complete WTF over this.
And apparently the book is worse...
Okay, so I hated those moments, the second one more so than the first, shockingly enough. But I did genuinely enjoy the show, despite thinking Lady Whistledown’s identity reveal was incredibly dumb, and wouldn’t have minded reading the book as a result.
Then Jack Edwards read it for me and I watched his review. I also read this review, further cementing my serious issues with this book as a whole.
And YIKES
Honestly, I genuinely do not think this book is worth reading. It’s bad enough that it was problematic in the first place as a show, but I cannot believe how terrible it actually is as a book. Thank goodness I stumbled across Jack’s review because I saved myself from a ginormous waste of time.
Plus, if you liked the show because it attempted diversity and conversations about race—not saying it succeeded, exactly, but I did like aspects of it—well, you don’t want to read the book. Cause every character in the book is...white. I’m not sure why this book was chosen as the source material for the direction the show went in—maybe it was the Whistledown stuff?—but...yeah, it’s not great.
I’ll pass. Thanks.

”I was prepared to die on that dueling field. Rather than marry you and take your dream away, I would have died. For you. You were the one who insisted upon this union. You told me I was enough.”

Love long series books. It’s like your friends never go away
March 31, 2022
OK, I've read Book 1 - The Duke& I ( watched season 1) I loved it and loved the show, Read book 2, ( watched season 2) ..loved it .. But if you've never read these books I feel you truly will never understand 👌 the show, but As you watch season 2 ..remember book 1 especially the ending about Penelope & Colin ..that's all I'm going to say !
Do y'all remember reading & watching how Anthony was so picky about finding a sutor for his sister Daphne? Well looks like Mr. Vicount found his leading lady because Kate is so much like him ..she's just doing the same thing for her sister !! Anyways!

Love love love LOVE
first book was horrifically boring but u power through.
Second book was amazing the spice was spicing.
Third book was basically Cinderella.
Fourth book was top three.
Fifth book is funny Eloise is every teenage girl.
Sixth was interesting but micheal could sweep me of my feet anyday.
Seventh is amazing and there’s a mystery to be solved this is also in my top three.
Eighth is also top three and if your husband isn’t like Gregory Bridgerton go get him educated.
Last book wraps everything up perfectly and tells a bit of violets past it was lovley ending

I read this whole series back when I was young fresh out of college. LOVED IT ! You get to know each Brigerton and where their story takes them. They each get their own book and the writing just hooks you. I’m glad to see it’s made a reappearance!

The whining of the viscountess who loved me was painfully dull. Stand up for yourself women!!
Also, selling out to a show that made this nothing but porn was a horrible choice on the author’s part. Definitely know she’s able to be bought.

January 2, 2021Surprisingly funny and entertaining. A delectable romp that had just enough connection to an almost possible reality of family relations that could forget it to be a mere romance novel ( well almost)
