Because of Miss Bridgerton is the first in Julia Quinn's Rokesbys series. It follows the Bridgertons a generation before the series we all know and love as well as the Rokesby family, neighbors and close friends of the Bridgertons.
This story is centered on Billie Bridgerton and George Rokesbys in a childhood friends/adversaries to lovers story. I absolutely LOVED the banter between the two of them, it was fun and fiery and frequently kept you on your toes. The romance is a slow burn as they begin to realize their love for one another but is SO worth the wait, and there's enough chemistry between them to carry you through the story. I also really enjoyed how Billie didn't care how she didn't fit into the mold of how a lady during the time should act and that she didn't feel shame because of it.
I listened to this on audio and the narrator is fantastic, so if you're going to read in highly suggest going that route!
