Because of Miss Bridgerton: A Bridgerton Prequel (The Rokesbys Book 1)

Product Information

Billie nodded. It was a good plan, the only plan, really, and she’d be stupid to argue just because he was the one who’d come up with it. Even if that had been her initial impulse. La ambientación quizás ha sido el punto flojo. Como he dicho mas arriba, bien hubiese dado igual que los protagonistas fuesen Bridgerton o no, o que la novela ocurriese en el siglo XVIII o en la Regencia, porque aunque hay cuarenta años de diferencia, Julia Quinn no se molesta en darnos mas detalles o en ambientarnos algo mas del siglo XVIII mas que para decirnos que los personajes no llevan pelucas porque no les gustan o son molestas. Para mí, ese ha sido el fallo, algo más de ambientación para saber que estás en el año que estás. Billie and George have known each other since they were children, as their families have been friends for years, but they dislike each other.

Described as witty, kind as well as a natural peacemaker. She's not very confident, and rather self-conscious as well as insecure around people she doesn't know, especially ones with fancy titles. She's a country girl through and through. Although the plot is rather a sleepy one, the book is worth reading for fans of the Bridgerton clan and for readers who like character-driven novels.If Andrew doesn’t come along as expected… and you’re missed… and I’m missed…” She looked up at him, her eyes huge and horrified in her face. Besides, she was done with that cursed animal. Never let it be said that Billie Bridgerton was in possession of a sentimental heart. She’d tried to save the mangy beast because it was the right thing to do, then she had tried to save it again, if only because it seemed like a waste of her previous efforts not to, but now…

The Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn | Author of Historical Romance Novels". juliaquinn.com . Retrieved May 7, 2022. George and Billie come to life in this story and I mean I'm right there with them feeling and experiencing what they are. George with his stubborn, stoic demeanor, but a heart of gold that would do anything and everything for his family. Billie, oh how I loved Billie, spunky and sassy, full of life and mischief but dedicated to her family and loyal. The beginning of the story was a absolute hoot and the dialogue and sass between these two will hook you right in. You can't but cheer these two on as they slowly become aware of a different side they never saw of each other. Things slowly become revealed, actions transpire, words spoken and what a sweet and rich romance. Now warning for some readers that this is not high on on the steam factor but the sweet factor more then makes up for it. Plus, can I just say I love my sassy heroine and stoic hero. Truly these two complement each other to a tee. I loved, loved the family aspect in this story and how it just enriched the relationship between these two. I will say like a few other reviewers commented on, that the ending was a little too abrupt and need to be smoother. With the normally active Billie forced into a short period of inactivity, Andrew, home on leave because of a broken arm, is the one who would usually be the designated cheerer-upper. But even though he is his normal madcap self and he and Billie fall easily into their established pattern of a couple of fast-talking hellions, Billie is rather surprised to discover that it’s George she looks for each day, and even moreso at the disappointment she feels on the occasions Andrew visits her without his brother. I first got the idea of writing about an earlier generation of Bridgertons a few years after finishing On the Way to the Wedding, the final volume in the 8-book Bridgerton series. I knew I would never write a book about Edmund and Violet (the parents of the clan) but I thought it would be fun if they could appear as secondary characters during the time of their courtship. In the end, I decided to focus the series on the neighboring family ( the Rokesbys), but the Bridgertons still loom large. Billie Bridgerton is seven years older than Edmund, though, so he is away at school during Because of Miss Bridgerton.I think I like Julia Quinn's earlier romances more, because they at least had a bit of fire to them. This book was dull. When we begin the novel, the heroine is up a tree trying to rescue a cat. Then getting down from the roof takes about two chapters. There's a couple more chapters at a dinner table where they all tease each other and the heroine, Billie's, sister feels left out. Then there's talk of a party. Then the hero, George, and the heroine, almost kiss and immediately go on the defensive to themselves that they don't really like each other, not really.
