I enjoyed this book a lot more than I did the first one - The Duke and I. Anthony and Kate’s relationship is so fun to read, yet also was very emotional at times. Coming from someone who’s watched the first two seasons of Bridgerton before starting the book series, I loved how we got to explore Kate’s feelings towards her biological mother and how that impacted her. Not to mention, we also got to see more of Anthony’s feelings in relation to the loss of his father. All in all, a good read! Especially if you enjoy the Netflix series!

Well, I enjoyed this one far more than the first (what with the lack of possible assault in this one and all). It was far less dramatic than I expected, but that was the show's fault.
That banter though, top notch. Especially that second epilogue with the other Bridgertons included? Amazing!
I spent a good portion of this book just laughing out loud and pitying poor Lord and Lady Bridgerton for having fallen in love with such maddening people. But of course, they're going to be so happy it also makes my heart go all squishy.
On to the next, and please never stop giving me Colin's cameos.

And then there was Kate Sheffield.
The bane of his existence.
And the object of his desires.
All at once.

I mean...Anthony is nothing if not a whore and I stand by that. This book had everything that the first book was lacking - the pining, the enemies-to-lovers, the tension, everything. If you've watched the show first, this book will provide you with a more in-depth view of the characters, their motivations and their traumas. The romance was everything and more.
