I overall have had a little interest in the historical romance genre. But after the most recent season of Bridgerton, I was craving some more context of Anthony and Kate so I decided to read the book. I was very surprised and happy that it appealed to someone who is a devoted contemporary romance reader. I think it really speaks to Julia Quinn’s writing that her books have some appeal to people who do not traditionally read the genre.

There were moments I laughed out loud, and moments I was clenching my chest. I was hanging on every word!

The first three Bridgerton novels were completely deleted from my app and replaced with the new Netflix artwork versions for me to purchase again! The books were even removed from my completed list.

Absolutely wonderful couldn’t put it down can’t wait to start on the next book ❤️

I really enjoyed to read this book

Another fun read😀

It was short and sweet. Read it in 24 hours. Loved the love scenes. Kates character is intriguing.

Incredible!! Too notch as the first!

I liked the read overall, enough to finish in two days, but I was a little annoyed with the plot of her constantly sounding whinny we it came to not letting him marry her sister.

As far as romance novels goes, it was entertaining. Wish it had a little about the rest of the Bridgerton’s though. Mostly every page was just about the two main characters. I get it, it was about Anthony, but still Not too much variety. Idk.

A lot of the same themes from the previous book but tells a whole new story from a different Bridgerton. I love their relationship!!! I love the new characters! I can’t wait to see it on Netflix!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Could not wait to finish it. I love the humorous back and forth between the main characters.

I really loved this book more than half way through. Kate and Anthony’s chemistry and flirting were so entertaining. I do feel like it was over emphasized and redundant about her not being as beautiful as her sister. The thing that left me disappointed was he turned chauvinistic on their wedding night “denying his rights” and the fact he never truly told her how much he wanted her & never the sister. I sincerely hope season 2 of Bridgerton does a more romantic scene that the book. Overall I liked this book until then.

I watched the Netflix adaptation and decided to read the books to see what’s next in the story. I was kind of put out by all the constant “I’m going to murder him/her”. It wasn’t funny and it makes the read a bit annoying. The author should show a bit more variety in her writing of the dialog. Other than that the book was okay.

Enjoyable

I think it was over done and the end was ridiculous .

Didn’t think after the first one another good romance in the family would be possible! But the book didn’t disappoint!

Very good!

100% better than the first book in 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.

Anthony is one of the best characters in this series and the entire plot of him finally finding love is one of the most attention-grabbing storylines ever. I thoroughly enjoyed this book & will mostly likely be reading it again!!

I loved this book even more than the first!

Okay I am sold on the Bridgerton train. TOOT TOOT! I’m here for it. This one was even better than the first. Anthony is the best kind of love interest, I just loved him so much. He was so sure he would marry out of necessity and not love. He tried so hard to not give in to his immediate spark with Kate (his fiancé’s sister). And Kate was a stubborn, imperfectly perfect heroine. Two people you just want to root for! I cannot wait for the third bridgerton. This series is so much fun! I listened to the audiobook and found myself giggling so many times while doing housework. Five stars :)

I could not put this down. I finished the book in two days! Loved it!

It was great, seeing how I went from the show straight to book#2 just see how Anthony’s life would turn out and it was a bit predictable from the begging of who he was going to fall in love with but I mean it was a great book. Not sure that I want to read the next book because I was aching for more of Simon and Daphne and although they made small appearances it wasn’t enough for me lol but you’ll enjoy this one. 🙌🏼

I have to say that I have never smiled and laughed so much through a romance novel as I did with this book. It really isn’t a quality I thought I needed. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it’s an easy read, I finished it in just under 2 days. However that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have some depth to it. The writing is done well and I lost myself in the moment on more than one occasion. The author does a great job in conveying emotions and really building the world around the characters. It may not be a huge fantasy world, but I think it does justice to England life in the 1800s all the same. ( not that I am an expert, so I don’t actually know, but that’s the fun thing about imagination.) I’m starting the third book and I cannot wait!

I loved reading this book! I’m new to reading romance novels and I have a new found appreciation for it. I’m ready to start Book 3!

A little formulaic. But fun! A few eye popping moments. Diving into the next one.

Such an amazing read! Wish I could read it again after just finished it! I think I may, it is sooo good!

I’ve read the entire series, and the Viscount Who Loved Me is the gem and best book of all! Kate is the ideal heroine and Anthony the ideal hero, and together, these characters are a match made in heaven. Kate is the best written character and female lead in the entire series, and the love-hate relationship between her and the Viscount is like Pride & Prejudice all over again. A true gem that I can read over and over.

After this book, An Offer from a Gentleman (the Cinderella story) and Romancing Mr. Bridgerton are a close second and third favorite.

Great book! Love the games, humor, and accidental romance!
