This second book follows the eldest of the Bridgerton siblings. Anthony has always loved being the oldest. He is the first born; first to know his parents, and the one to love them the longest. But when his father dies at 39, an age when his uncle also died, Anthony believes that it will also become his fate. Anthony is known around the London ton as a rake and a rogue. But believing that he will die early, he decides to marry, so that he can see his children born. Plus, he already has in mind who the next Lady Bridgerton will be.

Kate Sheffield has only made her debut to London society recently, and at the age of 21, it seems rather late. Her younger, more lovelier and beautiful sister, Edwina, is the one catching the eyes of many bachelors. Kate is quite protective of her sister, so any suitors must meet her standards and approval. So when Anthony comes calling, Kate decides he will need to pass the test before he can court her sister. Kate is well aware of his reputation and she knows there's no way Edwina will be his wife. But the more time she spent in his company and learning more about him, Kate find herself falling in love bit by bit. Perhaps he's not as bad as she assumed. But how can she fall for a man who's asking her sister for her hand in marriage?

Anthony and Kate are perfect together. They are funny, smart, and know how to push each other's buttons. They each carry a fear that must be overcome. Anthony comforting Kate during a scene of her phobia was heart-melting. *sigh*

What I love about this book:
Witty/funny dialogue and banter ✓
A heroine that I can respect and admire ✓
A hero that I can add to my book boyfriends list ✓
Characters who have family values ✓
Heartwarming moments between H/h but also with their families ✓
Romantic gestures ✓
Laugh out loud scenes ✓
Great writing and characterization ✓
Lady Whistledown's columns ✓

Really, there isn't anything about this book that I didn't like. I have two characters in mind that I suspect as Lady Whistledown, but only time will tell if I'm right (if she is revealed at all).

A lovely read! ...more

Written light and humorous, the novel offers the reader an entertaining and varied story. Julia Quinn writes in a simple, straightforward style using the language of the time and is still modern and easy to read. The author not only brings the traditions and customs of that time closer to the reader, but she also shows in the familiar scheme of the Bridgerton series that everything does not always go as planned or desired by the protagonist. Each chapter begins with a small excerpt from Lady Whi ...more

The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn (Audio Edition) with 2nd Epilogue
Narrated by Rosalyn Landor
Series: The Bridgertons #2

4.5 Stars - This was a fun listen, Kate and Anthony have a wonderful chemistry together. They bicker and snipe, yet each time fall for each other a little bit more. Their dialogue is witty, situations are funny and they have to be one of my favourite couples. Colin Bridgerton is great and always makes me smile. Of course I cannot forget to mention the fantastic Bridgerto ...more
