My absolute favorite book in the Bridgerton series
“This is definitely a 5 star pick book. The Bridgerton family series is one of my favorite series and I've read all of Julia Quinn's books. This book is actually second in the series but was the first one I read. If you doubt me, I have to say this one was so good that I lent it to someone, never got it back and went out and bought a second copy because I love re-reading it so often.

Here is the short blurb from Julia Quinn's website:
Kate Sheffield is determined to keep Anthony Bridgerton from seducing her sister. But what if the notorious viscount decides to seduce her instead?
A few of the things I love are that this book makes you laugh. I'm not one of those into romance books that are mostly sex scenes. I like to have some story and a little extra something. If the book makes me laugh then it's usually one that makes it onto my keep shelves (Julie Garwood's historical romances are other books that do it for me too). I love Kate, the heroine in this book, because she isn't the beautiful woman, she isn't graceful and she can't play any instrument beautifully. She's also been known to leave her dancing partner with aching feet so how can you not love it when she catches the interest of the wealthy and handsome viscount who could have almost any woman he wants?
After reading this one I quickly went and bought up the rest of the books that were out at the time and anxiously awaited each new book. I will admit I didn't find the newer ones as good but it could be because my favorite siblings were Anthony, Colin and Benedict so of course those were my favorite stories in the series. If you love a good romance story and want some humor tossed in this is definitely one to pick up.” -
OH...I LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK! WITTY DIALOGUE BETWEEN H/H
“Oh... this book is marvelous, I love it better than THE DUKE AND I. I like the witty dialogue between Katherine & Anthony. This book is perfect...”

Disappointing...
“This is the second book of The Bridgerton Series

This is the Bridgerton eldest son, Anthony's story. I didn't like for the fact that if fate hadn't intervened then Anthony would have never chosen and married Kate. That's why this book is not my favorite. He would have went ahead and married Kate's sister even if he was in love with Kate. That's my biased opinion, plus if the love story had been better then I would have rated it higher.
The series follows the Bridgerton siblings
1st book- "The Duke and I" Daphne's story
2nd book- "The Viscount Who Loved Me" Anthony's story *eldest sibling*
3rd book- "An Offer From A Gentleman" Benedict's story *my favorite story out of the series*
4th book- "Romancing Mister Bridgerton" Colin's story *second favorite*
5th book- "To Sir Phillip, With Love" Eloise's story -haven't read yet-
6th book- "When He Was Wicked" Francesca's story -haven't read yet-
7th book- "It's In His Kiss" Hyacinth's story -haven't read yet-
8th book- "On the Way to the Wedding" Gregory's story *THE LAST of the series* -haven't read yet- ” -

Viscount who loved me: the epilogue II
“What a rip-off!! This is not a whole book, only a chapter. Someone should differentiate between it and the whole book”

The Viscount Ruined Me
“I actually read this book a few years ago, but did not post a review for it. Considering I have reread it more times than I can count, I felt it deserved a review. In my humble opinion, TVWLM is the best of the Bridgerton series. The characters are funny, the familial relationships are realistic, and the story is just plain fun. Julia Quinn took what could have been a very hackneyed story line, and made it incredibly entertaining. There are several laugh out loud moments (Pall Mall, anyone?), and the characters simply come alive on the page. Frankly, this book ruined me for most other titles and authors. I have read historical romances off and on for years, but never expected a great deal from them. They were simply mindless pieces of fluff I picked up on breaks from my "real" reading. After reading this title, I realized that I do not have to have lowered expectations for "women's fiction" and that I can expect them to be witty, intelligent, and original. This book is the measuring stick that I use for all other titles I read (and that includes other Quinn titles as well). If other authors find their work lambasted as trite, silly, and vapid, they only have Julia Quinn to blame.

That said, for anyone who has not already done so, read this book NOW. For those of you who have....read it AGAIN. :-)”
