Wanted to throw this across the room out of a window . The wedding night scene badly handles consent . Anthony angrily get butthurt about Kate asking to put off sex for a week , then lashes out saying he has the right to just “ take her as he sees fit” as they’re married. Marital rape much? He then interrogated her as to why she’s saying no as if saying no isn’t a complete sentence asking inappropriate questions like prior assault history etc. then starts whining about his own desires and how he can’t handle a week or no sex so she gives in. Coercion much ..  the show is MUCH BETTER.

The Viscount Who Loved Me is a cute, fun, and indulgent read. While I thoroughly enjoyed the buildup to the relationship (the tension, the pining, the unrealized not-quite-unrequited admiration!), once the main couple actually got together, I found the story a bit boring and rushed. Additionally, the means by which the couple got together felt a little too much like a deus ex machina to me. However, I may have gone into this book with too high of expectations, as most Bridgerton fans rave(d) about Book #2 being the best of the series, and I have read (and plan to read) only Bridgerton Book #2. Nevertheless, I mostly enjoyed the book and am excited to watch Season 2 of the TV adaptation.

Fans of regency romance and the (extremely mild form of) enemies-to-lovers, marriage of convenience, and reformed rake tropes will enjoy The Viscount Who Loved Me.
