Publisher's 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 do not make the best husbands - and Anthony Bridgerton is the most wicked rogue of them all. Kate is 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.

Antony is not my favorite Bridgerton.

I throughly enjoyed this book as I finished it within two days. However, Antony made me dislike him in many parts of the story. I still intend to read the next book in this series.

Worth the listen

I have to say that i don't seem to love this series as much as others seem to but it's definitely charming and fun. And Rosalyn Landor is one of my favorite narrators. This audiobook includes the second epilogue for this couple.

Charming, funny, and every good thing

Julia Quinn has the best dialogue with her characters, especially the Bridgertons. This second in the series follows in the same exceptional tradition as book 1. Anthony and Kate are the focus and Anthony has met his match. Add in Rosalyn Landor as narrator, and I had the pitch perfect listen to a delightful story. Huge thanks for such great talent.

Good story

Good story, esp. the "croquet" games. Made me laugh out loud!
But do not care for the narrator's male voices, makes the men sound like such wimps.
Hard to believe they are rakes when they sound like that.

wonderful!

absolutely a most wonderful listen! dreamy, funny, and romantic. You owe it to yourself to escape into this performance!

Love the Bridgertons!

Loving the banter between the characters! Many laugh out loud moments. Looking forward to continuing this series.

Another Win!!

I fall in love with each book! This was beautifully written! I laughed out loud multiple times! I rooted for Kate as well as The Viscount!

great story but I am not happy about the epilogue

I loved the story. It was engaging and the woman reading it was wonderful. The only reason for the 4 star overall rating is because the second epilogue ruined a future book and I wish there would have been a spoiler alert. It was one of the books I was looking forward to listening to the most. I am actually kind of sad now.

I love it!!!!

it was lovely, my first ever audible...so I wasn't sure what to expect...now I'm about to start my second book.

Better than the First Book

This book is definitely better than "The Duke and I". In a modern context, there are still problematic themes at the author seemed set on making a problem in her Author's Note. Thankfully, I skipped that bit once I saw where it was going because I really did like the book. I am willing to suspend my sensibilities for a good historical fiction but it must stay in that historical context.

Anyway, I did not like Anthony when I came into this book. He's still not my favorite Bridgerton but he grew on me. Kate was the real star here. Well, a side from Newton, Kate was a star.

This book involves more of the characters from the family and society, which I enjoyed a lot. I get that it's a couple focused romance but I want more society when it comes from society people.

I am looking forward to book three. Usually I don't read series books one after another because I have found that I will wear myself out on the writing style/voice, but I am too excited to read about a Bridgerton sibling that I actually like before going into the story. I wonder how it will change the reception of the story for me.
