A review by kb33
The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn

medium-paced
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

2.5

This was very different from the Netflix series, from Kate’s entire character to most of the second half of the plot. Also, Anthony started the novel so completely unlikable that I didn’t think he’d be redeemable, but in the way of historical romances, his negative qualities were completely forgotten.  He did improve in the second half of the book, but I still need a better love interest than Anthony. 

The storm phobia and explanation added unnecessary, contrived drama. 

Added TW: dubious consent kissing and groping.
