#BookReview: The Viscount Who Loved Me (Bridgertons, #2) by Julia Quinn

AMAZON

ABOUT THIS BOOK:

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 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 is 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 is 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...

RAITING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

REVIEW: This is one of those times where the book is definitely better than the show. I watched season two of Bridgerton before reading the book, and as I read, I was surprised by how different the two are! I noticed this with book one as well, but it was even more pronounced this time. I found the characters' behavior in the book to be more authentic than their on-screen portrayals. I especially enjoyed the interactions among the siblings, their competitiveness in games, and how this dynamic continues into the epilogue. I'm looking forward to finishing the rest of the series before the upcoming show seasons are released.
