A temporada de bailes e festas de 1814 acaba de começar em Londres. Como de costume, as mães ambiciosas já estão ávidas por encontrar um marido adequado para suas filhas. Ao que tudo indica, o solteiro mais cobiçado do ano será Anthony Bridgerton, um visconde charmoso, elegante e muito rico que, contrariando as probabilidades, resolve dar um basta na rotina de libertino e arranjar uma noiva.

Ele logo decide que Edwina Sheffield, a debutante mais linda da estação, é a candidata ideal. Mas, para levá-la ao altar, primeiro terá que convencer Kate, a irmã mais velha da jovem, de que merece se casar com ela.

Não será uma tarefa fácil, porque Kate não acredita que ex-libertinos possam se transformar em bons maridos e não deixará Edwina cair nas garras dele.

Enquanto faz de tudo para afastá-lo da irmã, Kate descobre que o visconde devasso é também um homem honesto e gentil. Ao mesmo tempo, Anthony começa a sonhar com ela, apesar de achá-la a criatura mais intrometida e irritante que já pisou nos salões de Londres. Aos poucos, os dois percebem que essa centelha de desejo pode ser mais do que uma simples atração.

Considerada a Jane Austen contemporânea, Julia Quinn mantém, neste segundo livro da série Os Bridgertons, o senso de humor e a capacidade de despertar emoções que lhe permitem construir personagens carismáticos e histórias inesquecíveis

These characters were much more likable than their TV show counterparts ( )

This story was average at best and boring at worst. I definitely enjoyed the book version better than the tv version of this story but it lacked connection for me. ( )

“I desire you. I burn for you.â€

I wasn't really a huge fan of The Duke and I and I'm pretty sure it took me an eternity to finish that one. However, I decided to give the series another chance and I'm really glad that I did because I absolutely adored this one. Anthony is probably the perfect rake. Kate and Edwina are an interesting dynamic. Kate, close to becoming a spinster, is more focused on helping Edwina find a husband. Mostly because it turns out everyone always notices Edwina first due to her beauty. I have at admit that I enjoyed the fact that Kate was just an average beauty and she was fully aware of this. I loved the hatred she had for Anthony and her insistence that he would never marry Edwina because she would never approve.
The fact that the two are busy denying their attraction to each other the whole time is perfection and makes for marvelous moments. I have to admit that a lot of the situations they found themselves in were rather humorous which I greatly enjoyed. The two of them are honestly my absolute favorite dynamic. I loved that they both had these moments in their pasts that impacted them on a fundamental level to a different extent. I loved everything about this one honestly. I don't know what else to say besides how much I enjoyed it. I have to admit that this one actually made me look forward to reading the next one so I can see which Bridgerton gets into trouble this time. ( )
