I started reading these after watching the 1s  2 seasons of bridgerton, granted if I read the books first maybe I'd have a different opinion but I love all the changes they made to the books in the show, I think they really expanded on the characters depth & the plot changes they've made so far have made the story much more interesting & dramatic, I still love reading the books so far and am going to continue but they are not quite what I expected, also even though I suppose it is of the time period the internal dialogue of the men is a little rapey & predator-esque
