Summary

1814 promises to be another eventful season， but not， This Author believes， for Anthony Bridgerton， London's most elusive bachelor， who has shown no indication that he plans to marry。 And in all truth， why should he？ When it comes to playing the consummate rake， nobody does it better。。。

--Lady Whistledown's Society Papers， April 1814

But this time the gossip columnists have it wrong。 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 to 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。。。

⭐️ 4 Solid Stars ⭐️ This one was MUCH better than book 1 for me。 I really enjoyed Kate and Antony， and I’m glad I listened to this instead because I don’t know if I would have kept going。 I just know I would have gotten bored， whereas， having it be read to me worked better for me。 My one quibble was that at times things got very repetitive- we were told the same things over and over and I wanted it to move a bit faster。 It was a great narration however， and I’ll definitely be listening to the r ⭐️ 4 Solid Stars ⭐️ This one was MUCH better than book 1 for me。 I really enjoyed Kate and Antony， and I’m glad I listened to this instead because I don’t know if I would have kept going。 I just know I would have gotten bored， whereas， having it be read to me worked better for me。 My one quibble was that at times things got very repetitive- we were told the same things over and over and I wanted it to move a bit faster。 It was a great narration however， and I’ll definitely be listening to the rest！ 。。。more

Better than the first。 This story I read in 1 night。

Laurel ，

Maybe I read two of these too close together。 I found this romantic relationship ickier than the last because Antony seemed to be pushing things too much before the wedding。 Prude， I know but remember her reputation？？ I don't enjoy the uneven power dynamic of the men knowing what's next and the women not。 Also， I really could not bring myself to care about either of their phobias so felt left out a lot。 Don't get me started on the stupid croquet scenes 。 。 。 Somehow still a fun read。 I'll take a Maybe I read two of these too close together。 I found this romantic relationship ickier than the last because Antony seemed to be pushing things too much before the wedding。 Prude， I know but remember her reputation？？ I don't enjoy the uneven power dynamic of the men knowing what's next and the women not。 Also， I really could not bring myself to care about either of their phobias so felt left out a lot。 Don't get me started on the stupid croquet scenes 。 。 。 Somehow still a fun read。 I'll take a break for a while， though。 。。。more

J'ai encore plus apprécié ce tome que le précédent ！ J'ai beaucoup aimé en apprendre sur l'aîné des Bridgerton et j'ai adoré le personnage de Kate。 Bien évidemment les décisions d'Anthony sont parfois plus que contestables mais il n'y aurait pas d'intrigue sans ça ！ J'ai encore plus apprécié ce tome que le précédent ！ J'ai beaucoup aimé en apprendre sur l'aîné des Bridgerton et j'ai adoré le personnage de Kate。 Bien évidemment les décisions d'Anthony sont parfois plus que contestables mais il n'y aurait pas d'intrigue sans ça ！ 。。。more

I liked this one a lot more！ The characters were still a bit annoying sometimes but I felt like we really got to know them。 Kate Sheffield was lovely and sarcastic and witty so very happy to read about her。 The thing that was great was that we got enough scenes of interaction that I believed in the romance and enjoyed their chemistry。 I did think that anthony was particular obtuse about his mortality thing but then again brief does make us act in odd ways。 Anyway now looking forward to the next I liked this one a lot more！ The characters were still a bit annoying sometimes but I felt like we really got to know them。 Kate Sheffield was lovely and sarcastic and witty so very happy to read about her。 The thing that was great was that we got enough scenes of interaction that I believed in the romance and enjoyed their chemistry。 I did think that anthony was particular obtuse about his mortality thing but then again brief does make us act in odd ways。 Anyway now looking forward to the next one， hopefully they will get better and better！ 。。。more

Me dejé llevar por la popularidad de esta saga y porque prometía parecerse a las novelas de Jane Austen。 Es una historia muy superficial como para pasar el rato， creo que es ligeramente mejor al primer libro de la saga pero todo el argumento del libro es banal y está lleno de "problemas" innecesarios。 Parece más 50 Shades of Gray en algunas partes que una novela romántica。 Me dejé llevar por la popularidad de esta saga y porque prometía parecerse a las novelas de Jane Austen。 Es una historia muy superficial como para pasar el rato， creo que es ligeramente mejor al primer libro de la saga pero todo el argumento del libro es banal y está lleno de "problemas" innecesarios。 Parece más 50 Shades of Gray en algunas partes que una novela romántica。 。。。more

I guess I should start off by saying I never read the first book of the series， nor am I interested， but I saw some pretty passionate fans of the second book on twitter which is why I guess I gave this one a chance。 Overall， it was pretty cute at times but I found the drama/conflict to be pretty dumb so it wasn't really that great for me。rating: 3。5？ I guess I should start off by saying I never read the first book of the series， nor am I interested， but I saw some pretty passionate fans of the second book on twitter which is why I guess I gave this one a chance。 Overall， it was pretty cute at times but I found the drama/conflict to be pretty dumb so it wasn't really that great for me。rating: 3。5？ 。。。more

Anthony and KateI had a hard time getting into this one as reflected by the length of time it took me to finish。I found Kate's overprotectiveness of Edwina nearly as tedious as Edwina's cloyingly sweet behavior。 I was thankful the author adressed why she handicapped Anthony with his crippling fear at the end of the novel but it didn't help make the book any more enjoyable。 Anthony and KateI had a hard time getting into this one as reflected by the length of time it took me to finish。I found Kate's overprotectiveness of Edwina nearly as tedious as Edwina's cloyingly sweet behavior。 I was thankful the author adressed why she handicapped Anthony with his crippling fear at the end of the novel but it didn't help make the book any more enjoyable。 。。。more

i hate that this was the book that finally broke my reading slump & was the first book that i actually finished this year but here we are。 its not particularly good but its enjoyable - i read the whole thing in just under 2 days， on a pdf on my phone cuz i’m too cheap to buy it， and now i’m just looking forward to this season in the bridgerton show。 please do not ever bring the fact that i read this up to me i don’t wanna talk about it， thank you。

Tabitha ，

Another good love story！ There is never a dull moment in the Bridgerton's family。 I can't wait to read the next book。 Another good love story！ There is never a dull moment in the Bridgerton's family。 I can't wait to read the next book。 。。。more

Denise ，

Elsa in Four winds and Kate in this book show the problems caused by underestimating your strength of character。 So amazing how perceive good looks are to make you the better choice。

Leah Holliday ，

I have no one to blame but myself。 Were all men trash in the 1800s， or just the ones in this series？ Yikes。

Krushi ，

Alright。。。hear me outI finished his book in a day。 A DAY。Obviously not perfect but oh my god was it entertaining and cute。 A good read， I very much recommend。

Kourtney Maynard ，

Absolutely loved this one！ Way better than The Duke and I。 Kate is snarky and imperfect and absolutely delightful as a character。 I can’t wait for season 2 of the show 😍

Hollis ，

Rate: 4/5Super fun and quick romance that was so witty at times。 I thoroughly loved the two main characters and their relationship。 It is a bit predictable， like many romance books， but I liked the exploration of the grief and PTSD the characters had gone through。

This one was even better than the first book。 The enemies to lovers trope always does the magic for me。 It took me two days to read this and if only I had more time， I think， I would have read this in like a day。 It was just soooooo cute。[Sometimes I cringed a bit， mostly the scene with a bee， but let's be honest， the whole point of this story is ROMANCE and not ACCURACY]Honestly Anthony has always been my favorite character （small part in this has the actor from Bridgerton 😏） This one was even better than the first book。 The enemies to lovers trope always does the magic for me。 It took me two days to read this and if only I had more time， I think， I would have read this in like a day。 It was just soooooo cute。[Sometimes I cringed a bit， mostly the scene with a bee， but let's be honest， the whole point of this story is ROMANCE and not ACCURACY]Honestly Anthony has always been my favorite character （small part in this has the actor from Bridgerton 😏） 。。。more

Mais uma vez Julia Quinn a deixar-me deliciada com um romance histórico。 Kate e Anthony têm a típica relação "de inimigos a apaixonados" e gostei muito da forma como a tensão sexual deles foi transposta para o papel。 Mais uma vez Julia Quinn a deixar-me deliciada com um romance histórico。 Kate e Anthony têm a típica relação "de inimigos a apaixonados" e gostei muito da forma como a tensão sexual deles foi transposta para o papel。 。。。more

Echt leuke boeken！

Sara ，

So goodEven though I watched the series， reading the books has been amazing。 I was up all night just to finish this one。

Suzie Davis ，

A bit predictable with the enemies to lovers story， but it was still a fun read with some redeeming qualities in character growth。 I enjoyed it enough to read the next title in the series。

Lindsy ，

Quick read。 Lots of comedic action， and I thought the character backstories had heart。 Also， plenty of steamy parts。 Another breezy choice for summer。 PS - can anyone else confirm the plot （especially near the beginning） seemed loosely based on The Taming of the Shrew？？？

Mundoliterario_books ，

Este libro es MUY adictivo， no podía dejar de leerlo。 Me gusto MUCHÍSIMO mas que “El duque y yo” y creo que se debe a tres cosas:1。 Kate （La amé）2。 Enemies to lovers3。 No hay tantas escenas machistas como en el primero。Simplemente con este libro estuve frangirleando todo el día。Creo que la razón por la que no le puse 5 estrellas es porque en algunas situaciones Anthony decía cosas machistas que simplemente no podía pasar por alto。

Elaine ，

O segundo livro dos bridgertons me encantou totalmente， apesar de achar o Anthony um tanto quanto babaca em diversas cenas， entendo o que leva ao comportamento dele na maioria das vezes， Anthony foi o que mais sofreu com a morte do pai e o que menos o perdeu， já que o peso da memória dele o perseguiu por grande parte da sua vida。 A Kate é uma personagem incrível， amo a amizade dela com a Penélope e o entrosamento com os outros irmãos bridgertons， uma das minhas cenas favoritas é quando eles se u O segundo livro dos bridgertons me encantou totalmente， apesar de achar o Anthony um tanto quanto babaca em diversas cenas， entendo o que leva ao comportamento dele na maioria das vezes， Anthony foi o que mais sofreu com a morte do pai e o que menos o perdeu， já que o peso da memória dele o perseguiu por grande parte da sua vida。 A Kate é uma personagem incrível， amo a amizade dela com a Penélope e o entrosamento com os outros irmãos bridgertons， uma das minhas cenas favoritas é quando eles se unem pra jogar na casa de campo， eu definitivamente queria entrar no livro nessa hora。 。。。more
