About this listen

The sixth novel in Julia Quinn's globally beloved and best-selling Bridgerton Family series, set in Regency times and now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix. Welcome to Francesca's story....

In every life, there is a turning point. A moment so tremendous, so sharp and breathtaking, that one knows one’s life will never be the same. For Michael Stirling, London’s most infamous rake, that moment came the first time he laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton.

After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased him, of allowing himself to be caught but never permitting his heart to become engaged, he took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and hard into love it was a wonder he managed to remain standing. Unfortunately for Michael, however, Francesca’s surname was to remain Bridgerton for only a mere 36 six hours longer - the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper celebrating her imminent wedding to his cousin.

But that was then.... Now Michael is the earl and Francesca is free, but still she thinks of him as nothing other than her dear friend and confidant. Michael dares not speak to her of his love...until one dangerous night, when she steps innocently into his arms, and passion proves stronger than even the most wicked of secrets....

Critic Reviews

"Julia Quinn's Bridgerton books take all of the classic tropes we know and love...and gives them a thoroughly modern twist. I can't focus on anything else." (Stylist)

Best so far

Of all the bridgerton books I've read, this was the best. The story was gripping and real (mostly) and the subject seemed to flow nicely as opposed to some of the others that felt forced.

Yet another great book in the series

I feel so connected with these sites now. Understanding all the small details and how their stories intertwined, makes for a much more in depth connection. Brilliant narration. Highly recommend this series.

McSteamy Bridgerton

A heart-warming historical romance just like the others in this series, but with more than a touch of wickedness. A lot more steamy!

When he was wicked #book 6

I really enjoyed listening to Francesca’s story I didn’t know much about her . I think I only saw her in one episode of Bridgerton .
I found the book to very sad in parts but I’m so glad Francesca’s story ended well 🙂

Lovely story that is slightly wicked

Lovely story that is slightly wicked. Full characters and story that entices the listener to hear more. Good narrating by Rosalyn Landor as usual she does a good job on the narrating - very likable. The story covers several years and is very well done. Steamy scenes offer spice to the story and go further than Julia Quinn usually does and they are very well written. Love this book, well worth the 'read'.

Such a captivating story

It’s a good read which I did on a road trip. The narrator is descriptive and engaging. The story is interesting to follow along albeit predictable being a Bridgerton book.

Definitely one of my favourites!

Love this Bridgerton Story. Reminds me of Pride and Prejudice a little but with a small wicked naughty twist. Can’t wait to see it be produced for the screen.
