The Viscount Who Loved Me – Julia Quinn
Digital audiobook performed by Rosalyn Landor
3***

Book two in the Bridgerton series focuses on Anthony. He knows he is destined to die young, because his father died suddenly of a bee sting. And he is determined to marry well, but NOT to love his wife. The perfect candidate is the “Incomparable” Edwina Sheffield. But Edwina’s older half-sister, Kate, while not the beauty that Edwina is, captures Anthony’s attention with her intelligence and wit. And when he happens upon her just as a bee has stung her he insists on sucking out the venom, leading to the couple being discovered in a very compromising position. Nothing to be done but to marry Kate. Oh, well, what difference can it make. He won’t love his wife in any case. Or will he?

This is a typical Regency romance. It’s so hot between the pages that the current August heat wave feels positively cool. Devilishly handsome, and very rich, gentleman meets and seduces a chaste and vulnerable young woman. Sparks fly. Multiple orgasms are had. True love results. What’s not to like? A quick read that sets my pulse racing. Perfect escape.

The audiobook is capably narrated by Rosalyn Landor. She sets a good pace and has clear diction.
