This time the gossip columnists have it wrong. London’s most elusive bachelor Anthony Bridgerton hasn’t just decided to marry—he’s even chosen a wife! The only obstacle is his intended’s older sister, Kate Sheffield—the most meddlesome woman ever to grace a London ballroom. The spirited schemer is driving Anthony mad with her determination to stop the betrothal, but when he closes his eyes at night, Kate’s the woman haunting his increasingly erotic dreams...
Contrary to popular belief, Kate is quite sure that reformed rakes do not make the best husbands—and Anthony Bridgerton is the most wicked rogue of them all. Kate’s determined to protect her sister—but she fears her own heart is vulnerable. And when Anthony’s lips touch hers, she’s suddenly afraid she might not be able to resist the reprehensible rake herself...
Review:
I loved this book so much. It was so much more passionate and emotional than the first novel and the characters were much more likeable as well.
Anthony and Kate are my absolute favourites and it was obvious from the first time they met that they were supposed to be together, just as it is in the TV series. The tension between them was palpable the whole way through the first half of the novel and their bickering had me laughing out loud sometimes, it was actually very realistic. I also loved the Pall Mall scene especially and the storm in the library scene, both of which were just as good, if not better, than they are in the series
What I liked most about this book, apart from Anthony of course, is that it wasn’t just about the main characters falling in love, but also about them working their way through their fears and trauma to come out onto the other side as better people.
I really loved this book and would definitely read it again as its a nice, feel-good romance with just the right amount of pining and angst
Rating - 9/10
