The Viscount Who Loved Me



Here's my reaction to this book:

Oh, good, the 2nd Bridgerton novel - yay! I liked Anthony in the first book, his story should be good!
.
.
Oh, that's how his dad died...
.
.
Ugh, Anthony's an ass.
.
.
Oh, poor Kate.
.
.
Still an ass.
.
.
He's so mean to her. And an ass. OMG, HE'S GONNA HAVE SEX WITH THE OPERA SINGER??!!
.
.
Wow, that was actually nice, he sat with her until it was over. I think I'm starting to like him...
.
.
Uh-oh, a bee is bad.
.
.
Holy crap - They have to get married!!
.
.
Aww, she's worried he's going to be thinking about her sister when they're together. How sad.
.
.
What's his deal with not wanting to fall in love? I don't get it (neither does Kate).
.
.
SHE WANTS TO POSTPONE IT A WEEK? haha.....Are they done yet? Okay, he's defrosting my heart - he told her she was beautiful, and he meant it.
.
.
He shed a tear when she found out about her mother. Awww...I really do like him...
.
.
He's so tortured about his father's death, I do feel bad for him...HA! His brother just told him he's an ass. I am vindicated!
.
.
Oh no, a runaway carriage - NO, SHE CAN'T BE DEAD - HE LOVES HER!!!!
.
.
And a happy ending.

Seriously, it did turn out to be a good story, but I spent the first half of the book being very frustrated with Anthony. I liked how the story turned out but I don't think it will be my favorite of the series.

180

So, I read the first Bridgerton novel by Julia Quinn, The Duke and I, and loved it - I've written my review but not posted it yet. But now, I'm reading the 2nd book in the series, The Viscount Who Loved Me. What the hell? I LOVED Anthony in the first book - he was charming and caring and sweet. In the 2nd book? He's an ass.

And Kate? Ugh, how much does her life suck? She had to wait for her sister to turn 16 before they could "come out" together - so now she's 21 (practically a spinster) and is stuck on the sidelines watching her sister get all the attention.

I'm sure they'll end up together, but at this point (less than halfway through), I just hate Anthony and wish someone would be nice to Kate.... please tell me it's going to be okay.....

Update: Anthony did just ask Kate for a boon!!! (how I love a boon). Things are looking up...
