I enjoyed this so much more than I did The Duke and I. I was quite irritated with Anthony's behavior at the beginning of the story, but I very slowly started to enjoy his interactions with Kate. Kate on the other hand I loved right from the beginning and adored her dedication to protecting her sister, Edwina, from a bad marriage; especially given how during this time period, a woman's opinion on marriage matches was so blatantly disregarded.

The relationship development between Kate and Anthony was fun - I especially loved the Pall Mall game - and I thought touched on the serious traumas they have both faced quite well.

I really enjoyed watching Anthony realize (with the help of Kate) that while he could be afraid of death, he shouldn't let it stop him from living his life and finding love.

While the plot concept was quite similar to The Duke and I - one of the rakish MMC attempting to not fall in love with the innocent, yet strong-willed FMC - I like the way it was done with Kate and Anthony much more than with Daphne and Simon.

The one thing that I was really missing from The Viscount Who Loved Me was more interactions with the Bridgerton siblings and Violet. While we got small tidbits, I absolutely wanted more of the witty banter we got to see in the first of the series. Still - I thought this was great.

Now onto An Offer from a Gentleman!
