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. Pewsey, Guy (December 28, 2020). "Meet Phoebe Dynevor, Breakout Star of Bridgerton". Grazia . Retrieved December 31, 2020. Es ist sozusagen der übliche seichtere Ablauf wie man es von den anderen Bridgerton Büchern schon gewohnt war und somit ist es nicht enttäuschend gewesen, da man als Liebhaber der Serie und Familie auf sein Kosten kommt. Billie hat keine Ahnung was da plötzlich passiert mit ihr und warum sie Georg so anders sieht, wie sie seine Brüder sieht, beide lernen von ihrer üblichen Art abzuweichen, was für beide ähnlich wie im Blindflug ist. I first got the idea of writing about an earlier generation of Bridgertons a few years after finishing On the Way to the Wedding, the final volume in the 8-book Bridgerton series. I knew I would never write a book about Edmund and Violet (the parents of the clan) but I thought it would be fun if they could appear as secondary characters during the time of their courtship. In the end, I decided to focus the series on the neighboring family ( the Rokesbys), but the Bridgertons still loom large. Billie Bridgerton is seven years older than Edmund, though, so he is away at school during Because of Miss Bridgerton.

On the Way to the Wedding won the Romance Writers of America RITA Award in 2007.

[12] Sales [ edit ] Any number of retorts danced on Billie’s tongue, but she reminded herself that George Rokesby was the only human being in sight, and if she wished to touch her feet to the ground before May Day she was going to have to be nice to him. Other young ladies might read romantic poetry and Shakespearean tragedies. Billie read treatises on agricultural management. If that made her some kind of strange, unfeminine freak, so be it. She would much rather be out on her horse. Or fishing at the lake. Or climbing a tree. She smiled in an endearingly lopsided manner. “I suppose I deserve that. But, you know, you’re very dependable.”

They are also great friends with the Rokesby family. Billie's best friend was Mary and two of the brothers, Edward and Andrew. She never did get a long with George though, as the eldest he is Lord Kennard and he stays home while all of his younger brothers go off to war. This does not make George happy because he wants to go as well, but alas, he stays home as well as the youngest brother. For all the Bridgerton family fans who worried the series was over once all the siblings stories were told, prepare to rejoice!

She couldn’t quite tell if he’d turned in her direction –perfect eyesight only went so far– so she let out another holler, this one quite as loud as she could make it, and nearly sobbed in relief when the gentleman –oh, please let him be a gentleman, if not by birth, then at least by nature– began to move in her direction. And then later, when he proposes, she rejects him because she thinks he's asking because he has to, not because he wants to...and she follows this by worrying if she messed up by rejecting him. Then even later, he disappears during a ball with a random OW and is gone for HOURS, ditching her there and forgetting the two dances he'd promised her, finally coming home after 3AM, and he tells her he can't tell her where he was or what he was doing...and that's good enough for her to fall into bed with him? I found her reactions hard to swalloThere 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.

They were silent a moment, and then, in a smaller voice than he was used to hearing from her, she asked, “Are you quite certain that Andrew will come this way?” Doch dies nicht weil es ihr an Aufgaben fehlte, sondern weil sie als ältestes Kind der Familie die Geschäfte des Anwesens für ihren Vater leitet und dies bei weitem besser als es ihr liebevoller Vater könnte. Deshalb hat er sie auch seit Jahren gewähren lassen, bis eines Tages Edmund (Vater der Bridgertons, hier 14/15 Jahre alt) übernimmt. Billie ist sehr impulsive, handelt lieber und denk dann nach, ob es auch negative Konsequenzen haben könnte.

Any fool would have left it up there, but no, Billie had heard the mewling, and she’d been halfway up the tree before it occurred to her that she didn’t even like cats.
