Publisher Description
Sometimes you find love in the most unexpected of places...
This is not one of those times.
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.
Sometimes you fall in love with exactly the person you think you should...
Or not.
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.
But sometimes fate has a wicked sense of humor...
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...
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Like an episode of Downton Abbey mixed with a great rom-com, Because of Miss Bridgerton took us on a delightfully old-fashioned journey. Impulsive and fun-loving, Billie Bridgerton can’t stand George Rokesby, the older brother of her best friends, Edward and Andrew, and the dutiful heir to his family’s fortunes. It’s not hard to see where Julia Quinn’s historical romance is headed, but getting there is oh-so fun. Between the reluctant lovers’ banter and the domestic dramas that swirl around them, we devoured this novel in record time.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Quinn (The Sum of All Kisses) skips back a generation in her best-selling Bridgerton family series, establishing the relationships and connections of the family during the late 18th century. Billie Bridgerton is a reckless tomboy who grew up playing with her neighbors Andrew and Edward Rokesby. She's dismayed to wind up trapped on a farmhouse roof with their disapproving older brother, George. Billie and George have never been friends, but they keep being thrown together in awkward situations, such as a house party to celebrate Andrew's leave from the navy. Soon they join up on purpose to locate Edward, who's missing from his regiment in the American colonies, and they realize that their time together has changed the nature of their relationship. George and Billie are clear preludes to their descendants, and their love hinges on both their self-discoveries and their interactions. The dangling threads of other characters may be frustrating for those looking for a standalone experience.

There is 1 on page sex scene
Billie is a tomboy, and George is all about doing the proper thing. They've known each other their whole lives. After George has to save Billie, they keep getting thrown together. As they spend more time together, they soon appreciate things about each other they didn't before.
This is such a fun historical read. I love how Billie is not your conventional lady, and I love how her mother allows her to live authentically in their town. There is 1 on page sex scene.
