I actually enjoyed more of this than my rating suggests; there were just some parts that were so uncomfortable, like when

Anthony wouldn’t let Kate wait a week to have sex

....I know the point is to show how passionately he feels for her, but "he just can't control himself u.u" comes across as immature rather than sexy; there are many more—and hotter—ways to express that. were we not taking out the worst parts of the era, like the hygiene?

I love the parallels between Kate and Anthony, and seeing them realize that they are not alone in their feelings. Also I am a complete sucker for the responsible types learning that they can do something for themselves, like...fall in love.

Graphic: Death of parent and Grief

Moderate: Alcohol and Car accident

Death of parent/Grief:

Kate's biological parents are both dead, Anthony's father is dead, and they both carry lots of trauma from that. Death is mentioned a lot, and Kate's mom's death is shown on page.

Alcohol:

Anthony drinks quite a lot; not an alcoholic though

Car accident:

really a carriage accident, in which Kate breaks her leg

Body shaming:

small mention of Penelope having been bullied for her weight

Sexual assault:

Anthony asks Kate indirectly if she's ever been sexually assaulted

Pregnancy:

It's mentioned once that Daphne is pregnant

While I totally understand the problematic elements of this series, I can't deny the fact that its purely entertaining. Unlike, several Historical Romance that I've dnf'ed this one somehow dodged the blow with its quick-wit, snappy dialogues and snippy characters. I really love Kate and Edwina's dynamic almost as much as that of Bridgerton siblings. Although, ending was a bit too basic like the author was trying too hard to add some literary air into this books. I really disliked the downright sexist undertones of the male figures, glad that show is trying to steer clear of such bumpy roads.
Looking forward to read other siblings stories.
