Book: 19/52.
Bridgerton 2 - The Viscount Who Loved Me - Julia Quinn.
My Rating: 5/5.
Book 2 from the much loved Bridgerton series of 8 books and I must say I totally enjoyed it as much as the first part and a little more. Julia Quinn has not only surprised me but also impressed big time by her imagination and writing prowess, kept me engaged till the very last page and so much so that I need to go on search of the third from the series at the earliest. This turns out to be the story of the eldest son from Bridgerton family - Anthony as they are all named in alphabetical order so one cannot miss the order at any point of time. The playboy of the family who for reason known to himself had decided that he will get married but will never love his wife. He is still attached to his dad who died about a dozen years ago leaving him as the man of the family. After taking care of all of them and much to his annoyance getting his eldest sister married to a Duke (the first book covers their story), he is now the most eligible bachelor of his own times. Enter the Sheffields family with two eligible daughters, elder one not so beautiful but intelligent but his heart is on the younger one who is beautiful and not so intelligent as that’s what he needs in his wife so he won’t fall in love with her. What happens next is the 350 page novel which superb twists and turns (at times unpredictable) but totally amazing, it was indeed a page turner. To know who he marries and why he doesn’t want to love his wife - you’ve got to read the book. It is funny, romantic, engaging, suspensive and so good that it kept me ploughing forward to know more.
Do let me know which one is your favourite from the series if you have read them all and I must say that I am not liking the TV adaptation that much as they have taken severe liberties with characters and stories, so much so that I will call it a big screw up.
