Bridgerton Books in Order
The Bridgerton series is a collection of eight Regency-era romance novels by Julia Quinn that became a global phenomenon after Netflix adapted it into one of the most-watched series in streaming history. Set in London during the early 1800s, the novels follow the eight children of the late Viscount Bridgerton—each named alphabetically from Anthony to Hyacinth.
Each book focuses on a different Bridgerton sibling's journey to find love, complete with witty banter, scandalous secrets, and the ever-watchful eye of society columnist Lady Whistledown. The series masterfully blends romance, humor, and the rigid social expectations of Regency England, creating stories that are both escapist and emotionally resonant.
The Bridgerton family—headed by their devoted mother, Violet—represents an idealized but relatable vision of a loving, supportive family. Their dynamics, rivalries, and fierce loyalty to one another provide the emotional backbone of the series. Each sibling brings a unique personality: from the responsible eldest Anthony to the bookish Eloise to the charming rake Colin.
Quinn published the eight main novels between 2000 and 2006, followed by a collection of epilogues and a prequel series featuring the Rokesby family. The Netflix adaptation, produced by Shonda Rhimes, premiered in 2020 and brought renewed global attention to the books, making Quinn one of the bestselling authors in the world.
