Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Wise, lovely and kind, Kate Sheffield is determined that her beautiful half-sister, Edwina, marry a reputable man in The Viscount Who loved Me. Unfortunately for Kate, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton--London's most eligible bachelor and a notorious rake to boot--sets his sights on Edwina, and what the viscount wants, the viscount gets. Only this time, Anthony must win the elder sister's approval before he may charm the young beauty into marriage.

Hardly a problem for the impossibly handsome viscount, that is until the determined Kate, whose deep, dark eyes and lush mouth send his senses racing, presents a challenge that Anthony cannot refuse. Worse yet, Kate's response to his playful advances only confirms the ardent attraction that both seem desperate to deny. Anthony is faced with a dilemma. On the one hand, the perfectly amiable Edwina, while on the other, the most stubborn, single-minded--yet confoundedly desirable--female ever to grace a London ballroom. Anthony's quandary comes to a fast and fateful conclusion when he and Kate are caught in an innocent but compromising position. There's no choice but to marry, a resolution that leaves both parties uneasy. For despite their growing feelings, each struggles with personal demons that may destroy any chance for true happiness.

It's no surprise that Julia Quinn's setting, characterisation, and plot are flawless. Add to this masterful mix deeper emotional issues offset by the trademark Quinn wit, and you truly do have romance at it's best. Nobody does Regency quite like the mighty Quinn. --Lois Faye Dyer --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review
"'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 Praise for Julia Quinn: 'Writers like Quinn are reinventing the romance novel for the post-feminist generation' TIME MAGAZINE 'Captivating and alluring, THE VISCOUNT WHO LOVED ME is vintage Julia Quinn.' ROMANTIC TIMES"

5.0 out of 5 stars Curl up with a mug of tea and enjoy, 2 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Viscount Who Loved Me (Mass Market Paperback)
A delightful and heart-warming romance. You might think all romances would be heart-warming, but believe me, they're not. It was reassuring to read a historical romance which was more concerned with the characters and their feelings than secret government missions or revenge motives. It was also cockle-warming to read about two characters who were throughly nice (boring word I know) and who each loved their family and friends. My one little niggle is when will Julia Quinn learn that the English never married in their houses, let alone the drawing room? It would have been a church wedding (in the morning) or nothing. Thankfully the very American wedding scene takes barely a page, and you can quickly skip over it and forget about it and get caught up in the heart-renching, and ultimately, sweet, wedding night happenings. I would recommend this book, and while you are at it, pick up the companion book, The Duke And I. The next in the series, An Offer From A Gentleman, is due out in July and I for one can't wait.

5.0 out of 5 stars Utterly Fabulous, you won't regret it, 4 May 2007
By Rebecca Lusher (Devon, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Anthony, Viscount Bridgerton is a Rake (to paraphrase Lady Whistledown, a Rake is dangerous to women, while a rake merely thinks he is), but after ten years of pleasurable pursuits he's decided it's time to get married. Time he found a wife, settled down and sired an heir. He's not asking for much - a little beauty and intelligence is all he needs. Oh, and he mustn't fall in love with her.

Edwina Sheffield fits his criteria to perfection; she's beautiful, smart and sweet, and absolutely no risk to his heart. His blood pressure, however, is a different matter, for the way to Edwina's hand lies through the approval of her sister. And Kate Sheffield is not impressed.

It's soon obvious that this pair have two vital things in common - fierce devotion to their families, and a severely adverse reaction to each other. But several farcical situations push them closer together, until the intervention of a tiny bee leads to a compromising situation and a gossip's dream.

For Anthony it's only a minor setback because he's a sensible, rational man who won't fall in love if he won't allow himself to. Yes, it's truly that simple. Easy, really. Anthony's certain he need never fear falling in love, ever.

This, the second of the 'Bridgerton' novels, is utterly fabulous, packed full of laugh-out loud moments, and one or two worthy of a cringe, but always intensely enjoyable. Anthony's obsession with his father's death and his need to marry without love collides spectualarly with Kate's obsession that Edwina will never, ever marry him. The fierce, overprotective elder brother from 'The Duke and I' truly meets his match in the independent, forthright and fiendishly intelligent Kate. They are clearly far too similar to ever reach an agreement over Edwina. But over each other...

This book is filled with sublime moments of ridiculousness that can't help but leave Anthony's dignity in tatters, whether it be at the paws of an overly friendly corgi, or an innocent family game of Pall Mall - at times he could be forgiven for believeing that Kate is out to ruin his life. To make matters worse (for him, so much better for us) his brother, Colin, is often on hand to stir things up.

Anyone with siblings will certainly understand and sympathise, and it is impossible not to fall in love with these two, even if they do their damnedest not to fall for each other.

One of my favourite 'Bridgertons' it's a keeper on any shelf. Oh, and while you're at it, get hold of the Second Epilogue e-book for the return of Pall Mall and the 'Mallet of Death'. I laughed so hard it hurt, although there's a spoiler in it for 'Romancing Mr. Bridgerton'.

As for this book, well, in the same way as everything else JQ does, you really won't regret reading this.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved every minute of reading it., 30 Aug 2006
By T.J. "Romance novel addict" (England, West Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
From the very get go, I could not put this book down. I am normally a slow reader taking up to 2 weeks at times to read a book, but I finished this in a matter of a few days.

So, apart from writing about how much I loved reading this book I will also try and write a little about why. Okay, usually in romance novels you know exactly what is going to happen (I never read the synopsis or blurb at the back). In this case, I was really left using my own imagination to figure out who's going to get together. This book has a few areas where there is humour which I throroughly enjoyed and parts where the passion is immense. I think that I would definitely recommend this book, there is nothing that I can fault about this book.

As I am just a reader and I don't really know that much about history and era nothing jumped out at me as an error on her part. Seriously and honestly, this book could very well be my favorite. I could see the points of views of every character as J. Quinn did a wonderful job.
The plot was very unique, and the detail of the descriptions were just right (for me anyway).
SO, overall I can say that I really would recommend this book. Because of this book, I am tempted to purchase the WHOLE of the bridgeton series as I feel emotionally bound to the characters which J. Quinn has started to develop and only want to continue through their stories.

I believe that this book deserves a 5 star rating.
