The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn

A surprisingly hilarious, romantic read. A little cheesy/predictable, but still enjoyable!

Also now I’m mostly excited for season two for the Bridgerton Pall Mall scene

“Listen to me,” he said, his voice even and intense, “and listen well, because I’m only going to say this once. I desire you. I burn for you. I can’t sleep at night for wanting you. Even when I didn’t like you, I lusted for you. It’s the most maddening, beguiling, damnable thing, but there it is. And if I hear one more word of nonsense from your lips, I’m going to have to tie you to the bloody bed and have my way with you a hundred different ways, until you finally get it through your silly skull that you are the most beautiful and desirable woman in England, and if everyone else doesn’t see that, then they’re all bloody fools.”

Another fun installment of the Bridgerton book series. I read this after watching the Netflix series and the book does not disappoint. The characters are interesting, the story is entertaining and you can't help but love the characters. Although I still enjoyed the Duke and I better, Simon and Kate's story is still fun and entertaining to read.

 I enjoyed rereading this mostly because we got to see a little bit more of the community outside of the Bridgertons. Not to say I don’t adore this huge ass family, because I do! I love their relationship and the subtle way the siblings try to be there for each other but not make it too obvious that they care—cause ew, right? Most of the books in this series are pretty light reads, uncomplicated, with tolerable enough MCs and I enjoy the banter and humor throughout. Anthony was grazing on my nerves for most of this book but it was much easier to handle than the first.
