Read an Excerpt

The Viscount Who Loved Me

Chapter 1

The topic of rakes has, of course, been previously discussed in this column, and This Author has come to the conclusion that there are rakes, and there are Rakes.

Anthony Bridgerton is a Rake.

A rake (lower-case) is youthful and immature. He flaunts his exploits, behaves with utmost idiocy, and thinks himself dangerous to women.

A Rake (upper-case) knows he is dangerous to women.

He doesn′t flaunt his exploits because he doesn′t need to. He knows he will be whispered about by men and women alike, and in fact, he′d rather they didn′t whisper about him at all. He knows who he is and what he has done, further recountings are, to him, redundant.

He doesn′t behave like an idiot for the simple reason that he isn′t an idiot (any more so than must be expected among all members of the male gender). He has little patience for the foibles of society, and quite frankly, most of the time This Author cannot say she blames him.

And if that doesn′t describe Viscount Bridgerton - surely this season′s most eligible bachelor to perfection, This Author shall retire Her quill immediately. The only question is: Will 1814 be the season he finally succumbs to the exquisite bliss of matrimony?

This Author Thinks ... Not.

Lady Whistledown′s Society papers, 20 April 1814

"Please don′t tell me," Kate Sheffield said to the room at large, "that she is writing about Viscount Bridgerton again."

Her half-sister Edwina, younger by almost four years, looked up from behind the single-sheet newspaper. "How could you tell?"

"You′re giggling like a madwoman."

Edwina giggled, shaking the blue damask sofa on which they both sat.

"See?" Kate said, giving her a little poke in the arm. "You always giggle when she writes about some reprehensible rogue." But Kate grinned. There was little she liked better than teasing her sister. In a good-natured manner, of course.

Mary Sheffield, Edwina′s mother, and Kate′s stepmother for nearly eighteen years, glanced up from her embroidery and pushed her spectacles farther up the bridge of her nose. "What are you two laughing about?"

"Kate′s in a snit because Lady Whistledown is writing about that rakish viscount again," Edwina explained.

"I′m not in a snit," Kate said, even though no one was listening.

"Bridgerton?" Mary asked absently.

Edwina nodded. "Yes. "

"She always writes about him."

"I think she just likes writing about rakes," Edwina commented.

"Of course she likes writing about rakes," Kate retorted. "If she wrote about boring people, no one would buy her newspaper."

"That′s not true," Edwina replied. "Just last week she wrote about us, and heaven knows we′re not the most interesting people in London."

Kate smiled at her sister′s naivete. Kate and Mary might not be the most interesting people in London, but Edwina, with her buttery-coloured hair and startlingly pale blue eyes, had already been named the Incomparable of 1814. Kate, on the other hand, with her plain brown hair and eyes, was usually referred to as "the Incomparable′s older sister."

She supposed there were worse monikers. At least no one had yet begun to call her "the Incomparable′s spinster sister." Which was a great deal closer to the truth than any of the Sheffields cared to admit. At twenty (nearly twentyone, if one was going to be scrupulously honest about it), Kate was a bit long in the tooth to be enjoying her first season in London.

But there hadn′t really been any other choice. The Sheffields hadn′t been wealthy even when Kate′s father had been alive, and since he′d passed on five years earlier, they′d been forced to economise even further. They certainly weren′t ready for the poorhouse, but they had to mind every penny and watch every pound.

With their straitened finances, the Sheffields could manage the funds for only one trip to London. Renting a house--and a carriage--and hiring the bare minimum of servants for the season cost money. More money than they could afford to spend twice. As it was, they′d had to save for five solid years to be able to afford this trip to London. And if the girls weren′t successful on the Marriage Mart ... well, no one was going to clap them into debtor′s prison, but they would have to look forward to a quiet life of genteel poverty at some charmingly small cottage in Somerset.

And so the two girls were forced to make their debuts in the same year. It had been decided that the most logical time would be when Edwina was just seventeen and Kate almost twenty-one. Mary would have liked to have waited until Edwina was eighteen, and a bit more mature, but that would have made Kate nearly twenty-two, and heavens, but who would marry her then?

Kate smiled wryly. She hadn′t even wanted a season. She′d known from the outset that she wasn′t the sort who would capture the attention of the ton. She wasn′t pretty enough to overcome her lack of dowry, and she′d never learned to simper and mince and walk delicately, and do all those things other girls seemed to know how to do in the cradle. Even Edwina, who didn′t have a devious bone in her body, somehow knew how to stand and walk and sigh so that men came to blows just for the honour of helping her cross the street.

Kate, on the other hand, always stood with her shoulders straight and tall, couldn′t sit still if her life depended upon it, and walked as if she were in a race--and why not? she always wondered. If one was going somewhere, what could possibly be the point in not getting there quickly?

    Title misleading - Epilogue

    I was excited to see a Julia Quinn book in the under $5 dollars catgegory. I did not see that it was an epilogue. I had been meaning to purchase the epilogue eventually but it wasn't what I was expecting. Lesson learned - read overview carefully before purchasing.

    One of my Favorites

    I loved the Viscount Who Loved Me. Even better than The Duke and I. Kate and Anthony just make me laugh. Just writing about it makes me want to read the book again. This is definately one of my favorites from the Bridgerton series.

    Inconsistant from book 1

    So many differences. Edmund was refered to as n uncle in book 1. Also, the children's names are different for at least one of the girls. And the father was not supposed to have died before Anthony finished at Oxford in his wild days. And all this before 2nd chapter!

    If you like Julia Quinn, you won't be disappointed

    Good 2nd book in the Bridgerton series. Not my most favorite, but still a good read. Editing could be better for the Nookbook, but seems that is generally the case. The continuation of this series is even better so read this one to jump to the next.

    My fav of the series

    I've read all of Julia Quinn's books, and especially love the Bridgerton series. Out of all of them, though, this one really captured me. Her writing is easy, and not at all forced. If you're looking for a read that will have you smiling throughout, definitely pick up this book (the whole series, really).

    Overall, a very good novel

    The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn was a very good read. The characters had depth, and the fears of both main characters, being realized and confronted, built a nice plot. The last few chapters dragged, but overall, it was a nice rainy day novel.

    NOT THE BOOK!!!!

    I bought this book thinking I was getting the second book in the series. Nowhere does it say this isn't the actual book, including in the description, which is the exact description for the real book, not this epilogue. So, I got 14 pages that had nothing to do with the book. It is definitely not worth two dollars. This had to be set up just to rip us all off!

    Loved It

    When reading the first of the series, I was definitely ready to read more about Anthony, and this book doesn't disappoint! Now, I'm ready to hear more about Colin, but first Benedict.

    Anthony & Kate- I LOVED IT!

    Well, what can I say? Julia Quinn has to have the one of the best series of romances in "The Bridgerton Series" of books. This one, being the 2nd in the series was captivating. I couldn't wait to see Anthony, the patriach of the Bridgerton family (and known rake about town, along with his brothers...) fall in love with Kate, a shrewish, almost spinster sister of a young debutante that Anthony set his sights on. This book was funny at times, heart-stopping, and sensual all at the same time. You will love Anthony's story as well as all of the Bridgerton series that Julia Quinn has written. A definite must have for your permanent collection!

    Love Julia - Be warned

    I love Julia Quinn! do nto get me wrong! I love this book and the fact that it ties in all of the family some more. This '$1.99 deal' is for the 2nd Epologue not the 2nd book though! So be sure to read the ACTUAL The Viscount Who Loved Me and the following tales before you read this one! Not that there are any spoilers reallllly but it just as a matter of timing. Happy reading!

    Romantic, elegant, and real

    The second book in the Bridgertons series is without a doubt a huge succes for Julia Quinn. Anthony Bridgerton, the oldest of the Bridgertons, is a rake, as she puts it, who is intent on just finding a wife to give birth to the heir of the Bridgerton family. Nothing too time consuming since london is filled with pretty ladies and the fact that he is extremely handsome doesn't hurt his chances either. The only thing is that he cannot fall in love with his wife because of a traumatic experience (that you will have to read the book to find out). He chooses to Mary the beautiful Edwina Sheffield but he ends up having more attraction towards her older sister Katherine (Kate) Sheffield. Now a whole bunch of obstacles and opportunities are thrown at them and they either grasp them or let them go.
    What I loved about this book is that the characters are real. I mean real as in people can relate to them. Sure they may be in 1814 but time is nothing. We live problems of love just like they do. I love Lady Whistledown. Even though she's in other Julia Quinn books I just never get tired of her. She's whitty and frank and sympathethic in her own way.
    I like Kate, she's strong and even more strong willed. And Anthony? Who doesn't love a good and pure devilishly handsome rake?
    This is a MUST READ novel for all Julia Quinn lovers.

    Classic Julia Quinn-A must have for the serious Romantic

    Like her other books, I waited for this book to arrive on bookshelves. It was definitely worth the wait. I loved Anthony's relationship with Kate. The Bridgerton Pall Mall game was truly hilarious. From the moment Kate and Anthony meet, you can see the sparks fly and know that they are destined to be great lovers and loves. Buy this book. You won't be sorry.

    Good Series

    I like this family! I like them a lot. I was worried that I wouldn't like Anthony but in the end he was a pretty good leading man. I liked Kate very much and it was a sweet, simple but good story.

    Great Romantic Fun

    If you like to get away for awhile and enjoy historical romance, this book is for you. All of Julia Quinn's Bridgerton Novels are excellent reads. This is the first in the series and is great fun. I have read it more than once and it stands up to a reread.

    I loved this book I couldn't put it down! Read it in 1 1/2 days!!!
    It was funny and touching and overall a wonderful read! Anthony and Kate are two of my favorite characters! And the "Pell Mell"game was hystrical.
