1814 promises to be another eventful season, but not, this author believes, for Anthony Bridgerton, London's most elusive bachelor, who has shown no indication that he plans to marry.
And in truth, why should he? When it comes to playing the consummate rake, nobody does it better...
—Lady Whistledown's Society Papers, April 1814

But this time, the gossip columnists have it wrong. Anthony Bridgerton hasn't just decided to marry—he's even chosen a wife! The only obstacle is his intended's older sister, Kate Sheffield—the most meddlesome woman ever to grace a London ballroom. The spirited schemer is driving Anthony mad with her determination to stop the betrothal, but when he closes his eyes at night, Kate is the woman haunting his increasingly erotic dreams...

Contrary to popular belief, Kate is quite sure that reformed rakes do not make the best husbands—and Anthony Bridgerton is the most wicked rogue of them all. Kate is determined to protect her sister—but she fears her own heart is vulnerable. And when Anthony's lips touch hers, she's suddenly afraid she might not be able to resist the reprehensible rake herself...

I have finished my book way earlier than I expected so I'm going to start this one tonight :)

Finished chapter 4
(view spoiler)[Newton is so cute! I hope he wasn't there just that disastrous walk but it was so funny. I already like this book more than the first one. (hide spoiler)]

Finished chapter 9
(view spoiler)[This pall mall game is going to be hilarious and Kate has bat of death (I hope I got it correct I'm reading it in Czech) which is fun name. (hide spoiler)]

Finished chapter 14
(view spoiler)[I really like that scene in the storm. Him trying to comfort Kate was really nice. And that scene with the bee? Hilarious! XD (hide spoiler)]

Finished
(view spoiler)[Overall I think it was better than the first book but really similar at the same time. I like Kate way more than Daphne. (hide spoiler)]

Wow you are so ahead!! I can't wait to dive into your comments!

Starting this now!

Prologue: (view spoiler)[Ooo now we know how the father died. I always wondered that when I was watching the show. It's definitely sad that his mom sort of thinks it's her fault for saying she doesn't want more kids. I mean 8 kids is a lot. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 1-10: (view spoiler)[hahah that game they were playing seemed fun. I also really like the tension between these two. A little hate-love can do wonders. I like them together. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 11-20: (view spoiler)[Oh I like these two but the drama is a tad annoying but I knew it was going to come my way. Just basing this off of the character in the show.. I can see it happening in season 2 for sure. (hide spoiler)]

Newton is pretty cute! I'm glad you are enjoying this one.

Honestly that game sounded so much fun. I loved it all. Even the bantering back and forth of what happened to a red ball.

HAHA yes the bee scene killed me.

Ch 21-Finish: (view spoiler)[That was kind of cute and I'm glad they finally spoke about their parents deaths. I also laughed with the whole comment about lady whistletown. (hide spoiler)]

I'm glad you liked it! I liked them both equally. Very intrigued to see what I will think about the next book.

(view spoiler)[I haven't seen the show yet. I want to read at least two next book before I dive into it. But I think this one would translate great to tv show. Especially drama part of this. (hide spoiler)]

Yes, I binged the whole first season in a weekend. The second season is still filming I believe.
