From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the story of Anthony Bridgerton, in the second of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring her charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix.
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 … 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…

I absolutely loved the bee-sting scene! Delightful book-well worth your time.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. This is the one that started my love of Julia Quinn and all things Bridgerton (and the reason I have a shelf just for historical romance).
I read this book a long time ago…but picked it up again because I remembered loving the Bridgerton series. This story is wonderful, even the second time around. 🙂 Highly recommend!
I absolutely LOVED all of the banter in this book. And the hyper-competitive sibling croquet game — so much fun!
A hero terrified of bees, a runaway corgi, an overturned carriage and so much more. This enemy to lovers novel is simply delightful. I’m reading it for the second time and still can’t put it down! Love it!
I’ve read this book more than once. The dynamic between the main characters is wonderful and witty. I mean, the Mallet of Death says it all! I feel it’s one of Julia Quinn’s best books.
Sigh. I loved Anthony and Kate. This series is just amazing. I love how easily the banter and dialogue flow. The siblings remind me so much of my own. I laughed hysterically through the game they played. It was like watching it unfold live. I can’t get enough.
The Viscount Who Loved Me is, to me, the first in the Bridgerton family series. Anthony, the oldest son, inherited the title Viscount after his beloved Fathers death. He’s determined to care for & protect not only his family but his title too. Anthony thinks he’s found the perfect lady, with every qualification on his list, who is by the way in …
A fun enemies to lovers tale. It was great to see the Bridgertons through someone else’s eyes in this second book. I’m looking forward to watching them all grow up and find HEAs now!
So much heart in this book. Kate and Anthony were such a love match!
I enjoyed this book much more than the first book in the series. The witty banter between Anthony and Kate had me laughing out loud numerous times while reading. Intelligence and humor always make romance so much better. I wasn’t sure I was going to continue with this series, but now I have decided to give book three a shot. Four stars!
From the whole series, this was the book I was more curious to start reading and I’m so happy it didn’t disappoint me!
Anthony is that grumpy male character that always gets to my heart and I don’t know if it was because we have some things in common, but I really connected with him. I also have a soft spot for female characters that have some …
I actually liked this book better than the first. Enemies to lovers is my favorite troupe and Quinn did it well. I think Anthony was a complex character that surprised me. From watching the show and reading the first book, those characters traits didn’t come through. And Kate was fabulous. I cannot wait to see how they make this into a Netflix …
Viscount, Anthony Bridgertons, a known rake, decides it’s time to get married. He doesn’t want to marry for love, because his father died young he thinks he will also. When two sisters arrive in London for their debut to society Edwina, 17, is a blonde beauty and Kate, 21, a Brunette and pretty but not a beauty. Anthony decides to marry Edwina but …
Great book. I couldn’t put it down.
First, I must admit, I am a huge fan of Julia Quinn’s books.
I have loved many of her stories. I believe this may be my favorite.
Kate is an older sister to an “Incomparable” young lady. Edwina is absolutely stunning. And since both of them are having their come outs in the same season. There are many comparisons being made. …
Well as I first read Romancing Mister Bridgerton #4 and then An Offer From a Gentleman #3 it just seemed right that the next book would be The Viscount Who Loved Me #2.
This family just gets me every time. I really, really loved Kate and Anthony’s story, it is definitely a well written and passionate love story. Kate and Anthony are two lovely …
This is book 2 of the series. It starts with a little back story on Anthony’s father who passed away 10 yers ago. Anthony is the Viscount and if you have read the Duke and I you know he is a rake but that he has helped to raise his family.He is running the land nd helpin his mother. But his mother wnts her children happly married. Ever since his …
Kate and Anthony’s love story was soooo delightful. I loved reading about their circumstances and their coming to be. It seems that my days are now filled with wonderful historic romance.
I’d definitely recommend this second installment of the Bridgerton series.
Not quite as good as the first, but fun reading. Again, the dialogue is realistic, witty, and keeps the story moving.
This is maybe one of my favorites of the series, even though arguably nothing very outlandish occurs (as compared to 4, 5, 7) — this one was just so darn FUNNY, I was up into the wee hours of the night loudly cackling and waking up the whole house because I just couldn’t stop reading and laughing. Anthony is so ham-handed and controlling …
