It takes a lot to get them together, including a lost brother and an attempt to become a spy, but the pair get their happily ever after. But the more time that George and Billie spend in each other’s company, the more they find that they actually… like each other. Billie and George have never seen eye to eye, and the barbs spark off both when the ladder to freedom falls to the ground. Unfortunately, the closest Rokesby happens to be George. True to her character, the story opens with Billie stuck on a roof after falling out of a tree to rescue a cat. To the neighbouring Rokesby family, that’s just Billie. She rides in the fields wearing breeches to the horror of her mother and prefers books on agriculture to novels. She delights in looking after the family estate, from crops to general maintenance. Like the other Bridgertons, these characters are full of wit and daring.īillie Bridgerton is not your usual girl of the period. These are still about the Bridgerton family, just a generation that we haven’t met on screen. For the first time, I’m stepping away from the acclaimed Bridgerton series and heading into the…prequels. Why I chose it: Have really enjoyed the Bridgerton series.Ī Julia Quinn novel always promises a good read. The not-so-good: It starts off a little slowly before getting into the swing of things. The good: Julia Quinn always infuses a lot of humour into her novels. The only person who can rescue her is her nemesis, George Rokesby. In brief: The first in the Bridgerton prequel series finds Billie Bridgerton stuck on a roof after falling out of a tree.
