Summary
1814 promises to be another eventful season， but not， This Author believes， for Anthony Bridgerton， London's most elusive bachelor， who has shown no indication that he plans to marry。 And in all truth， why should he？ When it comes to playing the consummate rake， nobody does it better。。。
--Lady Whistledown's Society Papers， April 1814
But this time the gossip columnists have it wrong。 Anthony Bridgerton hasn't just decided to marry--he's even chosen a wife！ The only obstacle is his intended's older sister， Kate Sheffield--the most meddlesome woman ever to grace a London ballroom。 The spirited schemer is driving Anthony mad with her determination to stop the betrothal， but when he closes his eyes at night， Kate's the woman haunting his increasingly erotic dreams。。。
Contrary to popular belief， Kate is quite sure that reformed rakes to not make the best husbands--and Anthony Bridgerton is the most wicked rogue of them all。 Kate's determined to protect her sister--but she fears her own heart is vulnerable。 And when Anthony's lips touch hers， she's suddenly afraid she might not be able to resist the reprehensible rake herself。。。

It was okay， I wasn't expecting it to be perfect in terms of sexism because it's based on another era but I would never consider this couple goals， neither should anyone！I found this coulple more healthy than the one in the first book， at least。 They had chemistry and I like the fact that they didn't stand each other at first but at the same time they were wanting to see each other and stuff。The thing I find unrealistic is how mental health was treated in this book， like if you suddenly talk abo It was okay， I wasn't expecting it to be perfect in terms of sexism because it's based on another era but I would never consider this couple goals， neither should anyone！I found this coulple more healthy than the one in the first book， at least。 They had chemistry and I like the fact that they didn't stand each other at first but at the same time they were wanting to see each other and stuff。The thing I find unrealistic is how mental health was treated in this book， like if you suddenly talk about a problem it just vanishes！ Nope。 That wasn't realistic but it was good。 I refuse to believe I will end up this saga and rate any of these book more than 3 stars， I hope so， but I don't think so。I'm excited for Colin and Benedict though 。。。more

Yes。Fun！ I enjoyed this story more than book 1。 Again， the book is as you’d expect in terms of “brain candy” - not heavy but a fun， easy， breezy romance novel。 I oddly got Taming of the Shrew and 10 things I hate about you vibes - though the story lines don’t match。 I suspect the author used both references as a spring board to create Book 2’s storyline。

In my opinion， you can never argue with a well written enemies to lovers。 And， wow， was this well written。 Strangely， this second installment of the Bridgertons series felt more like a novel than the first one？ If that makes any sense whatsoever。。。 I enjoyed this one exponentially more than the first。 Anthony and Kate just felt more real， and well-rounded than Daphne and the Duke。 Arguably， the advantage here could be that we already saw quite a bit of Anthony in the first book。 I just feel like In my opinion， you can never argue with a well written enemies to lovers。 And， wow， was this well written。 Strangely， this second installment of the Bridgertons series felt more like a novel than the first one？ If that makes any sense whatsoever。。。 I enjoyed this one exponentially more than the first。 Anthony and Kate just felt more real， and well-rounded than Daphne and the Duke。 Arguably， the advantage here could be that we already saw quite a bit of Anthony in the first book。 I just feel like I could talk about these characters as if they were people in my life， and if that's not a good sign I don't know what is。 Even their internal struggles just felt more fathomable than in the previous book。 Moreover， I'm not one for rereading books， but this is definitely something I could see myself picking up and enjoying all the same。 My only qualm， （which I believe to be a universal truth in the genre of romance，） is that if I were to leave off in a particularly steamy part， I would later find it difficult to pick back up at a very much not so casual scene。All in all， a really enjoyable read with the familiar and notoriously witty banter of Julia Quinn。 This isn't saying much considering I've only read a measly two books in this series， but as of now out of all this ranks number 1！ On to the next Bridgerton story！（Author's note: Also， very importantly， THE VISCOUNT WHO LOVED ME definitely didn't skimp on the brilliant sibling dynamic between the Bridgerton siblings！） 。。。more

I honestly didn't think I could adore a couple more than Daphne and her Duke， but I was very wrong。 I absolutely loved the storyline of Anthony and his search for a wife。 The characterization of the Sheffields were a welcome addition to the ton and I love how each book in this series is able to give us a glimpse of characters we have come to know from different perspectives。 I am looking forward to pursuing book 3 next to see with is in store for our next dear Mr。 Bridgerton。 I honestly didn't think I could adore a couple more than Daphne and her Duke， but I was very wrong。 I absolutely loved the storyline of Anthony and his search for a wife。 The characterization of the Sheffields were a welcome addition to the ton and I love how each book in this series is able to give us a glimpse of characters we have come to know from different perspectives。 I am looking forward to pursuing book 3 next to see with is in store for our next dear Mr。 Bridgerton。 。。。more

I had mixed feelings about the first book， so I wasn't sure what to expect from this， but I was pleasantly surprised。 I still like the writing and the Bridgerton family， there was just something about the transitions in feelings between Anthony and Kate that seemed forced - I was excited about the "enemies to lovers" trope but it just seemed to come and go in every interaction a little bit like an afterthought。Kate was hilarious though。 This book had so many wholesome moments （I am now completel I had mixed feelings about the first book， so I wasn't sure what to expect from this， but I was pleasantly surprised。 I still like the writing and the Bridgerton family， there was just something about the transitions in feelings between Anthony and Kate that seemed forced - I was excited about the "enemies to lovers" trope but it just seemed to come and go in every interaction a little bit like an afterthought。Kate was hilarious though。 This book had so many wholesome moments （I am now completely convinced that a huge family is everything） and I really liked the romance， but at some points it seemed forced where as other points， which had great options for epic romance， seemed a bit lost。 Still such a fun read - loved Kate， loved the dog。 Would read again。 。。。more

This is an excellent series set in early 19th-century England。 The characters are great， and I like it that they don't act like the stereotypical characters in other period romances from this time。 This story focuses on the second Bridgerton son， Anthony， and a young woman， Kate， who thinks he is perfectly horrid。 Unlike other women from her time， she tells him why she hates him， instead of pretending to be the polite lady-like daughter her mother hopes she is。 The story is predictable， but very This is an excellent series set in early 19th-century England。 The characters are great， and I like it that they don't act like the stereotypical characters in other period romances from this time。 This story focuses on the second Bridgerton son， Anthony， and a young woman， Kate， who thinks he is perfectly horrid。 Unlike other women from her time， she tells him why she hates him， instead of pretending to be the polite lady-like daughter her mother hopes she is。 The story is predictable， but very enjoyable nevertheless。 I am eager to read more in this series， since this definitely a good read。 。。。more

I must admit that I enjoyed this one more than I thought that I would。 I did not love Anthony in the Duke and I， but he redeemed himself in this book。 Kate was the perfect addition to spar with Anthony。 I missed some of the secondary characters from the Netflix series （love me some Lady Danbury）。 In this book， I could have done without the 2nd epilogue， it didn't lend as much to the story as in the Duke and I。 The writing does pull you in and you get involved in the story lines and the character I must admit that I enjoyed this one more than I thought that I would。 I did not love Anthony in the Duke and I， but he redeemed himself in this book。 Kate was the perfect addition to spar with Anthony。 I missed some of the secondary characters from the Netflix series （love me some Lady Danbury）。 In this book， I could have done without the 2nd epilogue， it didn't lend as much to the story as in the Duke and I。 The writing does pull you in and you get involved in the story lines and the characters。 。。。more

While it repeats some of the tropes from the first one， I really liked the dynamic between the protagonists in this。 I enjoyed seeing Anthony be very vulnerable and I thought Kate was a really fun and original character。 I am obsessed with these books so I’ll probably love them all。

This was really good！ We learned a lot more about Anthony in this one， which is good since it is his story！ I really liked Kate， I think she was my favourite character， Anthony really met his match in her！ I didn’t find it as fun and witty as the first one， but I really enjoyed it anyway， especially the Pall Mall game， it was hilarious！

This is only my second romance novel （the first being the first book in the Bridgerton series）， and I must say that this one was better than the first。 Perhaps its because the books are about one family， the Bridgertons， and each book focuses on one of the family's offspring。 Also because I watched the Netflix series before reading the first book （which ruined the first book for me）。 The first book focused on Daphne， the fourth child and first born daughter， and this book focused on Anthony， the This is only my second romance novel （the first being the first book in the Bridgerton series）， and I must say that this one was better than the first。 Perhaps its because the books are about one family， the Bridgertons， and each book focuses on one of the family's offspring。 Also because I watched the Netflix series before reading the first book （which ruined the first book for me）。 The first book focused on Daphne， the fourth child and first born daughter， and this book focused on Anthony， the first born son and direct heir。 By this book I was familiar with the setting and the characters， so I found it more enjoyable。 "The Viscount Who Loved Me" by Julia Quinn is about Anthony Bridgerton， a viscount， who is well past the marrying age and has decided to marry; however， he hasn't found a wife。 During the course of the novel he begins to court Edwina Sheffield while trying to win the approval of her sister， Kate。 During the courtship he begins to find out that he actually has feelings for Kate instead of Edwina and so the drama ensues。 So far in my reading of this series， Quinn has proved an expert at writing dialogue and creating hilarious and dramatic scenes that are movie worthy。 They are， at times， a little ridiculous， but it's entertaining and I'm learning to just enjoy it because its part of the romance genre and isn't intended to be taken too seriously。 I love the world that Quinn has created。 She knows her characters and the world so well and she truly loves them and cares about them。 It's evident in her writing of first and second epilogues。 I rated this a 4/5 because while it wasn't the greatest book I've ever read， I was fully consumed by it and found no faults。 I would recommend this series to someone who wants to be entertained with fun and light （and sexy） reading。 。。。more
