The Viscount Who Loved Me is a good book but I was surprised to see that it differed from the show so much, but I can understand why as it actually follows a very similar plot to The Duke and I (Bridgerton 1).
In the show Anthony almost marries her sister, to the point that they are literally at the alter, then a series of things happen that mean Edwina realises he loves Kate and then Anthony finally realises and they live happily ever after, however in the book they become friends then just when Kate gives her blessing for him to marry Edwina they are caught in a compromising situation much like Daphne and Simon so they have to marry and it is only after they have been married a while that Anthony realises he loves her and they live happily ever after
Overall it was a nice 'chick lit' and is good for a break from heavy/emotional things.
