Sometimes you find love in the most unexpected of places...This is not one of those times. Everyone expects Billie Bridgerton to marry one of the Rokesby brothers. The two families have been neighbors for centuries, and as a child the tomboyish Billie ran wild with Edward and Andrew. Either one would make a perfect husband...someday. Sometimes you fall in love with exactly the person you think you should...Or not. There is only one Rokesby Billie absolutely cannot tolerate, and that is George. He may be the eldest and heir to the earldom, but he's arrogant, annoying, and she's absolutely certain he detests her. Which is perfectly convenient, as she can't stand the sight of him, either. But sometimes fate has a wicked sense of humor...Because when Billie and George are quite literally thrown together, a whole new sort of sparks begins to fly. And when these lifelong adversaries finally kiss, they just might discover that the one person they can't abide is the one person they can't live without...
This is trademark Julia Quinn.
Bille is fun and determined and so strong, and I always love my historical heroines in breeches! George is serious but with a wonderful dry and sarcastic sense of humor that compliments Billie. They start off as childhood friends (enemies??) and move on to falling in love and it was absolutely delightful to see!
I wish we'd gotten a little more at the end, perhaps a look at their families' reaction to everything, but maybe we'll get some of that in the next book, which I can't wait to read! :D
