Beguiling Bridget (Waltzing with the Wallflower #2)
by
Rachel Van Dyken (Goodreads Author),
Leah Sanders (Goodreads Author)
Driven to distraction by the redhead across the room, Anthony Benson barely hears the terms of his brother’s challenge before agreeing to them.
No matter. It will be easy. Viscount Maddox has never had any problem impressing the ladies. And four weeks is more than enough time to win over this so obviously neglected wallflower.
But things are never as easy as they seem.

"Beguiling Bridget" was a second book in a series for these two authors which continues on from 'Waltzing with Wallflowers Regency Series.'

I think I liked the first book, Waltzing with the Wallflower, a little bit more. Which is surprising since I liked Anothny's character quite a bit in the first book. He was so different in this book, I kind of missed the swauve rake. He instead has fallen in love which has the effect of turning him into someone who is quite clumsy and always putting his foot in his mouth. I liked Bridget okay, she's your typical regency "blue stocking" who has bigger dreams then becoming a wife. They do have...more

Beguiling Bridget picks up where Waltzing With The Wallflower leaves off, with Ambrose having married Cordelia, and focuses on Ambrose’s twin brother Anthony. He finds himself on the receiving end of the same bet that led to Ambrose and Cordelia’s marriage: to make a woman of his brother’s choosing fall in love with him four weeks. Ambrose picks Lady Bridget, who is avoiding social interactions at all costs. Lady Bridget does her best to avoid Anthony’s advances, but as they are forced to spend...more
Second book of the Wallflower series picks up precisely where the first one leaves off. Again, it wasn't a bad read to pass the time. I found the interactions between the two main characters to be amusing and cute. Their chemistry flowed rather nicely. I don't usually read romance, but I enjoyed this one. Much like the previous novella, it doesn't contain too much fluff or mush. There are no smut scenes. It was a quick, cute little read. I recommend it for any fans of the romance genre looking f...more
I absolutely loved the character Bridget in this book, she was such a strong character, and it benefitted the book greatly. She had some definite spunk and attitude for someone in that era, and she had such a temper! She also was a huge women's rights promoter, and at the beginning was not willing to give her heart away to any dictating man. That changed when Anthony came along ;)
Beguiling Bridget begins where Waltzing With the Wallflower ends with Ambrose and Cordelia married. Anthony is distracted and doesn't realize that he agrees to a bet that may mean the death of him. Where he is charming, Bridget is a strong character and doesn't want anything to do with him. Until she falls for him. Another great book from Rachel Van Dyken. Can't wait for Taming Wilde.
3.5 stars
Very fun, flirtatious, regency read. I just loved the banter between Bridget & Anthony. If it was a little bit cleaner, it would have been a 5 star for me.
Moral Note: A few "gosh's". Some talk of rakes& mistresses, and some very passionate kissing.

Bridget was fun and had a strong sense of character making her intriguing as a woman during that time period. Her Bluestocking nature led her to be more independent and not just a husband hunter. Anthony’s character was more appealing in the first book with his rakish character whereas in this second book the issue of falling in love has left him awkward and clumsy to be around.
The plot as a whole needed a good summary edit. It was a little too drawn out and seemed stretched in places.

This was as fun a book as it's predecessor. I enjoyed Anthony's antics and misfortunes. I'm looking forward to reading about Wildes.
Very fun quick read!
This time the main character Bridget is not like the other wallflower in the previous book. She is not shy but she stays by the wall mostly to not be bothered. She is not afraid to turn anyone down. I was happy that the hero was the other twin named Anthony. This is another nice quick book to read.
I give it 3*stars.

From the opening scene, the reader knows the games have just begun. It is a great sequel to Waltzing with the Wallflower. If you are looking for a humorous and entertaining book you have found it in Beguiling Bridget. For my full review go to More Than a Review.com
Cute, clean, fun. I really liked the characters, and enjoyed the story. I like Van Dyken, and have read many of her books.
