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...

Primeiro volume da série Rokesbys.

Julia Quinn já havia admitido a dificuldade de continuar a série Bridgerton devido ao apego aos personagens originais e ao fim trágico do romance de Violet e Edmundo. A maneira de contornar isso foi escrever sobre os tios dos personagens da série.

Nesse livro, conhecemos Billie que é uma personagem maravilhosa. É uma pena que não a tivemos no original pois ela tinha tudo para apimentar certos conflitos e resolver alguns problemas - nossa heroína é leal, forte, e divertida.

George, seu par romântico, não fica muito atrás e o resultado é uma leitura que embora demore para pegar no tranco, se torna uma das histórias mais engraçadas da escritora.

Recomendo.
