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…

The Viscount Who Loved Me:
Julia Quinn (Bridgertons #2)
“Love’s about finding the one person who makes your heart complete. Who makes you a better person than you ever dreamed you could be. It’s about looking in the eyes of your wife and knowing all the way to your bones that she’s simply the best person you’ve ever known.”
The …
If there was a Historic RomCam genre, The Bridgerton Series would be fit perfectly in there. I found myself chuckling to myself through most of the book. The Bridgertons are a large boisterous family, uncommon in the British nobility, the product of a “love match”. This is a fun, very entertaining read.
This is the story of Anthony, the first …
I’m totally addicted to the series. 🙂
In the second book, Anthony Bridgerton decides that is time to take a wife. He doesn’t want to find love, because he is convinced that he won’t live long, but want to find someone who fits his criteria and have an heir.
He picks the perfect wife. Only problem, her older sister. They are very close and Kate …
Another great book by Julia Quinn!! This is the second book of the Bridgerton series and follows Anthony, a eternal bachelor and Kate, a woman who does not desire to get married EVER! When these two meet, it’s an enemies-to-lovers romance. They despise each other at first, but soon learn the fire that they each possess (that originally drives them …
Oh My Lord….literally!
I loved this second book more than the first and it was purely due to the connection between Anthony and Kate. They were so much alike in how they valued family to their sense of humor and their vulnerabilities. If I wasn’t swooning at Anthony, or having empathy to their afflictions, I was laughing at their antics. …
I love the logic of a child that we get to see at the very beginning of the book, before dealing with the adult version of an overbearing, pain in the… older brother.
No, Anthony liked to think that his relationship with his father was special simply because he’d known him the longest. After all, no matter how long Benedict had known their …
I love that each of these books centers around a different Bridgerton sibling, but that we still get to see how the previous siblings are doing as well. I love this kind of family series that allows us, as readers, to mature and grow along with the characters. It makes the reader feel a part of this world, sort of an honorary …
I enjoyed The Viscount Who Loved Me. I loved the pall-mall scene best. I was laughing out loud. I loved Kate. At time Antony was a bit annoying but he redeemed himself. I am so happy we still saw the wonderful Bridgerton family humor in this book. Their relationship and bond is my favorite part of this series so far.
Once Upon A Time, I only read historical romances and Julia Quinn was one of my favorite authors. After watching Bridgerton, I picked up this book and lost myself in its pages. I can’t believe I let over a decade pass from when I last read Julia’s books….I look forward to binge reading as many as I can now. TBR and enjoy!
This is my second time reading this book, and I still think I like it even more than the first book!! Kate is so relatable as a character, nothing against Daphne but I think Kate is definitely more interesting. It’s really great to see Anthony’s character development through the book as well, and to know there is more depth to him than we got to …
Anthony was such a forceful personality in The Duke and I that I wasn’t sure how he’d be as a hero in his own book, The Viscount Who Loved Me. I shouldn’t have wondered. He blew away my expectations.
Just like The Duke and I, once again I listened to this novel via an audiobook. When Kate has her nightmare, Ms. Landor, the narrator, was so …
Both the hero, Antony, and the heroine, Kate, were very entertaining. I especially loved the croquet match (even though they call it by another name) Antony usually uses the “Mallet of Death”, but Kate, who was new to the game got the mallet first. You have to read the book to find out what happens, but it is the best sporting event in a romance …
It is a beautiful story of enemies to lovers! Another Bridgerton success!! Amazing!!
I love Julia Quinn books. I don’t love them for their complexity, or their deep, moral lessons. I love them for their simple love stories and Bridgerton entertainment. This was exactly what I needed.
Anthony, first of all, drives me crazy. I found myself wanting to slap him more than once. I mean, the bee sting scene? I literally rolled my eyes …
I’ll be the first to admit that the TV show got me hooked and interested in the books. And though I did enjoy the first book, the second is unique because not much of it has been shown already in the series. I’ll be really interested though to see what the next show will feature since we’ve already seen the singer mistress in the show in season 1, …
Anthony and Kate may well be my new favorite book couple. I absolutely adored them from the first snarky exchange to the last. Their banter was hilarious and built the tension superbly. I can’t imagine loving another book in this series more than this one. It was perfect.
I absolutely LOVED Kate but my god I struggled so much with Anthony. The man can be a true dumbass. He did grow on me as the book progressed, but mostly because I loved Kate and therefore in order for her to be happy I too had to come to like Anthony. Overall though, I did really enjoy the book and it definitely had a very addictive quality and …
Even better than the first, I loved Anthony and Kate! There was some anxiety/PTSD type rep, which I’m there for, and I loved their banter and chemistry. Will definitely be continuing on with the series
I love historical romance. I also love a good enemies to lovers romance. The banter between Anthony and Kate is so perfect. I laughed so much reading this book. I cannot wait to read more in this series.
I loved me some Kate! I wasn’t sure how I would feel about Anthony, but I fell in love with him too. I am loving this series and the way it was written. We all know rogues aren’t my thing, but I fell in love with Anthony anyways. Kate’s sassiness took the prize in this one though.
