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…

Anthony and Kate have become my favorite main characters in the Bridgerton series. They get to know each other as Anthony courts Kate’s sister Edwina. The realistic qualities in the book of each other’s anxiety over areas of their lives and how they cope through it was a welcomed representation. It helped someone on the outside looking in to …
Emotional and funny!
Anthony Bridgerton is determined not to fall in love with whoever he picks to wed. Shouldn’t be too hard, right? Then he meets Kate, who is guarding her sister Edwina’s virtue against the rakes of the ton. Anthony has met his match in Kate after he decides Edwina is just the sort of woman to take to wife.
I don’t have Netflix and so I haven’t seen Bridgerton but the hype about it brought me to Julia Quinn’s Amazon page and as the second book was discounted I thought I would give it a try.
I certainly wasn’t disappointed. I enjoyed the family element and teasing between siblings, the humour and was pleased that the bedroom scenes took place after …
Audiobook: Narrator – Rosalyn Landor
What an amazing narration! Ms. Landor was exceptional with each character giving them their own unique tone and cadence. She brought this story to life in a way that, in my experience, isn’t easily found, especially in romance audios. I experienced the same in the previous audio and once again found myself …
I absolutely loved this! It was incredibly entertaining with hilariously witty and challenging banter, I loved the verbal sparring between Anthony and Kate! Their back and forth was perfection.
Book 8 towards my goal of 240! 5/5 stars for this Regency Romance! I’m just going to say it, I may have liked Anthony’s story more than Daphne’s! But, they’re very close for sure! Such a great continuation into the Bridgerton family saga! Can’t wait to see who we follow in book 3! Such a fun book! Highly recommend!
I’m in love. truly, madly, deeply in love with this books.
So I fell in the Bridgerton rabbit hole. I kept hearing about the show and I succumbed to curiosity and watched with my mom. Yes I got her obsessed too. So naturally I got myself the books.
First I have to say that yes the books are not exactly like the series and even though the series …
Absolutely 5 STARS!
Loved it!
Yes, please! And more! Fans of NETFLIX’s BRIDGERTON Series should RUN, not walk, to the next book in the series. This is the story of Anthony and Kate – a beautifully crafted enemies, to friends, to lovers’ story and so much more. I loved the message of living life to the fullest with the one person that makes you complete. You’ll be enchanted by …
I am officially in love with the Bridgertons. This family is too much fun to read.
From the sibling teasing to the vicious game of Pall Mall (which bears a strong resemblance to cricket), I learned more about this fascinating family.
Anthony, I have to say, is an intriguing character. Though his thinking made me want to pop him upside his head, …
I enjoyed this a whole lot. I now this series is getting a lot more attention now thanks to the TV show, and I feel like the series (or what I’ve read of it) holds up more than a lot of other stories of the time, even regarding “the scene” in book 1. But with regards to TVWLM, I didn’t know what to expect from Kate. And as it turns out I liked her …
After being told the books in the series got better after the first one I decided to give them another chance. Alas, I’m still disappointed. I’ve never been a massive fan of ‘two people are absolutely horrible to each other but it’s fine because they’re secretly in love’ trope and coupled with the ridiculous and overblown melodramatics from the …
Loved the book. Hate that Netflix has the very likely potential to ruin the story.
Anthony, Viscount Bridgerton has decided it’s time he settled down and got married. He’s gone so far as to select a wife. Unfortunately, the lady’s elder sister, one Miss Kate Sheffield, has taken him into dislike and is determined to prevent the match. Anthony is furious at the interference, but it’s Kate who increasingly features in his …
A great series
Love all of her books
I wanted to be friends with her characters. Julia Quinn sets the high bar for Regency romances.
I love this book it is one of a series and they are all great books, and I own the complete series. Romantic, funny, takes you into the book and makes you feel like you’re there.
I really enjoyed this book. This was my second time reading this book. Even with reading it twice I found it hard to put down.
