After reading the first book in Julia Quinn’s fantastic “Bridgerton”
series, “The Duke and I,” I just had
to check out the second book in series “The
Viscount Who Loved Me” and man, was I blown away by this book!
Anthony Bridgerton, who is well-known as being London’s most notorious rake, takes London by storm when he decides that he wants
to get married and he has his sights set on Edwina Sheffield. However, Anthony will soon realize that this
is not an easy task as he has to impress Edwina’s older sister, Kate Sheffield,
who refuses to let Anthony marry her sister due to his reputation as a
rake. Even though Anthony gets so annoyed
with Kate at times, he will soon realize that he might have feelings for Kate
whether he likes it or not!
Julia Quinn has
done it again with writing a brilliant romance story that not only gives us the
best back and forth bantering between the two lead characters, but also gave us
a great insight on conquering our fears for the sake of love! I loved the way that Julia Quinn wrote each character in this novel as they were truly
memorable and they made me relate to the characters’ predicaments. I especially loved the relationship that
Anthony shared with his siblings, especially Colin and Benedict as there were
several moments in the novel where Anthony was considering killing his brothers
for annoying him to death, but it is clearly shown that he cares about them at
the same time. I also loved Kate’s
relationship with her stepsister Edwina as it has been stated many times that
Edwina is way more beautiful than Kate, but Kate still cares about Edwina’s
well being and would do anything to make her happy. Probably my most favorite characters in this
novel were Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sheffield themselves! I have to honestly say that Anthony
Bridgerton is officially one of my most favorite romance heroes of all-time
(man, I have been saying that for every romance novel I had read)! Anyway, Anthony Bridgerton is just one
amazing hero as he has sharp wit while being kind hearted towards anyone at the
same time. I loved his relationship with
Kate as he often gets frustrated with her since he thinks she is annoying and
yet, it is clear as day that he has feelings for her, but often has trouble
trying to reciprocate those feelings to her.
Kate Sheffield is truly one of the best romance heroines I had ever read
as she shows true determination in doing what is best for the people she cares
about and I also loved her back and forth bantering with Anthony as she seems
to be the only character (other than Anthony’s siblings) who can talk back to
Anthony with such fire and wit! As for
the love scenes between Anthony and Kate,
OH MAN, were they HOT and
SIZZLING and I just could not stop reading those love scenes between Kate and
Anthony without feeling deep anticipation!
For anyone who does not like sex scenes, there are plenty of
sex scenes in this novel that are quite graphic and you can skim over them if
they are uncomfortable to read through.
Overall, “The
Viscount Who Loved Me” is truly one romance novel that every fan of Julia Quinn’s works and fans who love
pure, raw romance should definitely check out!
Now, I am off to read the third book in the “Bridgerton” series, “An
Offer From a Gentleman!”
