The Viscount Who Loved Me: Bridgerton (Bridgertons Book 2)

# 1 New York Times Bestseller
The inspiration for season two of BRIDGERTON, a series created by Shondaland for Netflix, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn: the story of Anthony Bridgerton in the second of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family.
ANTHONY’S STORY
This time the gossip columnists have it wrong. London’s most elusive bachelor 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 do 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...

Readers say *The Viscount Who Loved Me* is a charming, funny, and smutty romance featuring strong enemies-to-lovers chemistry and witty banter. Kate’s...
This was a very cute sequel to the series. There were a few parts of the enemies to lovers trope that were a little overdone or corny, but I still very much enjoyed it overall. Looking forward to the next one!
Similar to the Netflix show, where I enjoyed season 2 more than season 1, book 2 has the first one beat in my eyes! I think this primarily has to do with the characters. I love Kate. I find her relateable and likeable and Anthony is just the right amount of “bad” to get me attached. Plus, it’s no secret I love an enemies to lovers trope as well as banter so of course I was all about their love story. I enjoyed seeing more of each of their fears and I loved that there is no secret with how Anthony felt about Kate from the beginning. I was enthralled and although I knew the outcome there was still so much to be surprised by. Again, I was a huge fan of the audiobook and would more than recommend diving into this series. Cannot wait to rent book 3!

This story line was much better than in the show
I have watched all of the Netflix Bridgerton series that have aired thus far. It seemed time to read the books that inspired the show. While I'm typically a bigger fan/advocate of books over their eventual movie adaptations, that was not the case here. I preferred the majority of the big changes that were made for the show. So I was not as invested in this book version of Anthony and Kate's love story. I also was disappointed that some big characters from the show (the QUEEN) still do not exist. In the book version, I did not like how Anthony and Kate were forced into marriage during the bee scene because they were caught in a compromising situation. The tv adaptation had a much better slow burn.
