“Book 2 in Bridgerton series. I wasn't quite as taken with "The Viscount Who Loved Me" as I was with "The Duke and I" but still very much enjoyed. This is the story of Anthony Bridgerton, reformed rake and eldest of the Bridgertons. He makes the decision that it's time for him to marry but not for love because of his phoebic fear of dying as young as his father. He selects Edwina Sheffield for his betrothed but first he must get by her older sister, Kate. There is instant dislike and challenge between them but Kate is not one of the simmpering twits of the ton. I found their clashes entertaining. Newton, Kate's beloved corgi, plays a prominent role. The identity of the gossip columnist who writes Lady Whistledown's Society Paper is still unknown (she has a scathing wit and most accurate information of all that's going on in society). I'm hooked on this series and looking forward to reading the next book , "An Offer From a Gentleman"...Benedict Bridgerton's story (the next oldest available brother).”
