Lovely second book in the serious, and perfect for some summer fun reading. 

Sometimes I find the rampant sexism inherent in period romances a bit too much and it takes me out of the book for a minute, but I think I may have liked this one better than the first Bridgerton novel. 

Now to get my hands on the next! Should be no trouble to make my way through this series before more seasons of the show come out. Who doesn’t like a nice bit of fluff?

Who doesn't love enemies to lovers? The back-and-forth relationship between two strong-willed characters in Anthony and Kate made this historical rom-com as good as it was! I loved their connection, and despite a few cringe moments (and some good ol' sexual harassment) I really enjoyed reading this one. Anthony was a straight up jerk sometimes, but sometimes not, and there was no love triangle to contend with. Kate was a little...too insecure at times, but she had a nice character arc and I like her in general. Overall, a great second book in the series, and I'm looking forward to more! (Mainly Colin and Penelope's story, let's be real.)
