The Viscount Who Loved Me

This was a really good book. First off: I think I actually liked this more than ‘the Duke and I'! Second off: I am enjoying these Bridgerton books a lot more than I thought i would and ya girl has NO SHAME. ZERO!

Anyways, this book follows the life/love of Anthony Bridgerton, which given if you watched the show also, was a great way to sequence because through Daphne finding her love in the first book, you find out a lot about Anthony.

Anthony meets Kate aka the BEST woman so far in the series (except Violet. Personally I like how the show version of her is more casual but I admire her strength and fierce loyalty to her family.) Kate is incredibly down to earth and I am sue that every women who reads this book will find at least 1 characteristic of Kate relatable. This to me is a big thing because these [eriod dramas (at least to me) can be rather cold. Meaning, there isn't but character to viewer kindship. Yes, we watch and all admire the characters for who they are and how they fit in the story, but I haven't found someone as relatable as Kate.

Modern twist on a tale as old as time. He finds her the annoying sister of the girl he is courting based off his “standards”. And she finds him to be a total ass. Thy get into it and possessive over the girl in question and then end up being frenemies. Th smolder burns and from there the fire takes root and the rest is history. There are several twists and turns along the way.

Like I said earlier, I have been finding these to be incredibly satisfying reads partially because I have no expectations for romances/historical fiction like I do my psychological thrillers. These have been nice breaks from the drama that is the world and my usual reading hit list. Would highly recommend (especially now that the show has been renewed to season 4! This means we get breath quickens Benedict (swoon) and Colin (which is you all have been reading the second epilogues in the book and know what went down in season 1 finale of the show, SHOULD BE A TREATTTTTTT).
