The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn
5.0
"I don't believe in the glorification of murder. I do believe in the empowerment of women."
- Lady Gaga
This was an absolute hoot! I can already tell Kate and Anthony's story is going to be one of my favourite—if not THE favourite—books in this series. From start to finish, I could barely put it down and did not want to be away from their antics any longer than necessary. There was just far too much to enjoy.
Corgis! Pall Mall! Bees!
I'm obsessed with the dynamic between them. Originally, Anthony had set his cap at Kate's younger sister. The Incomparable of the season, utterly pretty and kind, she's the perfect future Viscountess he believes he won't fall in love with. But in order to get to Edwina, Anthony has to get Kate's consent, who thinks him a rake beyond reform. They genuinely dislike each other at first and use every opportunity to tease, goad, annoy, and infuriate the other.
And I loved it *cries* I laughed out loud multiple times because it was just that amusing. You can tell the pair of them are perfect for each other. To see Anthony Bridgerton, eldest son and Viscount, so riled and flabbergasted by Kate--truly the best treat life has to offer.
These books do feel somewhat dated, with the concept of consent and "no means no" appearing a little murky when compared to the romance novels written today, but all that aside, you know Kate and Anthony are so into each other. I'm fairly certain I would die for Kate and I can't wait to watch her absolutely step all over Anthony in the second season of the show.
Second Epilogue thoughts: Perfection. Chef's kiss. Masterpiece. A pall mall rematch is the exact Kate and Anthony content I needed because the pair of them are such children and my absolute favourite because of it.
My Bridgerton Rankings:
1. The Duke & I - ⭐⭐⭐
