I received a copy of this title to read and review for Wicked Reads 
 4 1/2 stars. 
 Lady Bridget's Diary was a fun, romantic read. Witty and humorous without being over-the-top, Bridget & Looord Darcy (Colin) were great at bantering, insulting, and generally rubbing the other the wrong way, amping up the chemistry. 
 The Cavendish clan from America, horse breeders from Maryland, take the haute ton by storm. James received the title of Duke with his uncle's passing. With the help of their aunt (whom I loved), James and his four sisters are welcomed into 'civilized' society. 
 Lady Bridget's Diary had a vast cast of characters, which opened up the possibility of many intriguing books in the future. Each sister, as well as James, and several others, had individual problems and eccentric personalities that will lend well to their own stories. I look forward to this in the near future- Lady Amelia's story is next in July (thank heavens it's not a long wait) 
 The middle Cavendish sister was one of the narrators for this first book in the series, Darcy being the other. Bridget & Darcy are the perfect balance for one another- Bridget, the sister who fell, isn't fond of meaningless rules and backhanded compliments, while this is all Darcy has ever known. Dreadful Looord Darcy is taken completely off guard and unhinged by Lady Bridget, and it was delightful to watch (read). 
 What was most refreshing to read was the new duke with his sisters, and the sisters interacting with him and each other. Instead of seeing the sisters as a nuisance and a burden, ones in which he wishes to marry off to get out of his hair like in 99% of Historical Romance, they are a real family. It was sweet how at night they would meet up in either the kitchen for cake, or the oldest sisters' bedroom, and discuss their days/nights- big brother included, who they would relentlessly tease by calling him Duke. So instead of painting one or two in a bad light, where we'll learn differently during their book, the author made the reader fall in love with this eccentric family, leaving them intrigued for more. 
 & Rupert (Lord Darcy's heir- baby brother), with his unique 'issue' of the time, I beg the author to give us his story, or at least of novella, because this character is the most intriguing of all. 
 Seriously, I have mostly fabulous things to say about this book. Maya Rodale is a new-to-me author, and I look forward to reading more.
