#1 New York Times Bestseller The inspiration for season two of BRIDGERTON, a series created by Shondaland for Netflix, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn: the story of Anthony Bridgerton in the second of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family. ANTHONY'S STORY This time the gossip columnists have it wrong. London's most elusive bachelor 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's 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's 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... This novel includes the 2nd epilogue, a peek at the story after the story.

"As much as I loved the first book, this one is miles better! Kate and Anthony’s chemistry and banter was entertaining and engaging. It felt like the more modern steamier version of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy’s dynamic in Pride and Prejudice. I loved everything about this book. Anthony’s heartbreaking outlook on his mortality was a dramatic way to begin the story, but his belief that he would never surpass his father really informed every bit of the story. I also loved how this element of his character was echoed in Kate with her irrational fear of storms and the genesis of this terror within her. It was so romantic how they found solace and comfort from their terror in each other. I really adored everything about this book and there are so many things I wish the show had included: Kate’s sibling dynamic with the Bridgertons (specifically Colin and Eloise), Edwina’s academic personality (and poorer love interest), Edwina observing the love between Anthony and Kate and encouraging it, Anthony and Kate’s friendship with Penelope (especially that amazing scene where Anthony defends Penelope to Cressida Cowper and honors Pen in front of everyone) and finally, the fact that Newton actually liked Anthony. The one thing I didn’t like was that their marriage was born out of scandal and a ridiculous one at that. I must admit that I laughed incredulously at Anthony trying to suck the venom out of Kate’s bee sting, but only for a moment. His panic and Kate’s realization as to why was heart wrenching. All in all, this was a superb read and my fave so far!"
