448 pages
A sparkling, banter-filled romp where lifelong irritation slowly melts into undeniable affection.
What it feels like
Reading this book feels like stepping into a sunlit English garden filled with the sound of laughter and sharp, affectionate bickering. It is a delightfully brisk and buoyant experience, driven almost entirely by the crackling chemistry and rapid-fire dialogue between two people who are absolutely certain they despise each other. The mood is cozy and low-angst, wrapping the reader in the warm, chaotic embrace of sprawling aristocratic families who know each other a little too well. There is a distinct joy in watching prickly exasperation soften into reluctant admiration, and finally, into a swoony, deep-rooted devotion. It is the perfect escape for anyone who delights in witty historical romance, where the greatest tension comes not from external danger, but from the terrifying realization that you might actually be falling in love with your most annoying neighbor.

About the book
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. But sometimes fate has a wicked sense of humor. 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. 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.
