Lady Bridget's Diary

Lady Bridget's Diary by Maya Rodale

Summary: In the first novel of Maya Rodale's stunning new series, an American heiress must learn to navigate London society and an infuriatingly irresistible rake . . .

Lord Darcy is the quintessential Englishman: wealthy, titled, impossibly proper, and horrified that a pack of Americans has inherited one of England's most respected dukedoms. But his manners, his infamous self-restraint, and his better judgment fly out the window when he finds himself with the maddening American girl next door.

Lady Bridget Cavendish has grand—but thwarted—plans to become a Perfect Lady and take the haute ton by storm. In her diary, Bridget records her disastrous attempts to assimilate into London high society, her adoration of the handsome rogue next door, her disdain for the Dreadful Lord Darcy, and some truly scandalous secrets that could ruin them all.

It was loathing at first sight for Lady Bridget and Lord Darcy. But their paths keep crossing . . . and somehow involve kissing. When Lady Bridget's diary goes missing, both Darcy and Bridget must decide what matters most of all—a sterling reputation or a perfectly imperfect love.

s comments: As you can imagine based on the hero’s name and the book summary, Lady Bridget’s Diary is an adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Author Maya Rodale altered the details enough to make Lady Bridget’s Diary unique and fun to read. I thoroughly enjoyed how Rodale interweaved events from the original into the new story.

Recommended for historical romance readers, especially those who love Pride and Prejudice adaptations.
