The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn

I love this book. I really really do. I'd been in a romance rut for awhile, you'll notice that there aren't many in my books read from last month. And I've been in a historical rut for quite awhile. Now...I think I've come out of it. All thanks to rereading this wonderful book. I laughed, I grinned like an idiot, I told my husband numerous times how much I enjoyed this book.


1814 promises to be another eventful season, but not, This Author believes, for Anthony Bridgerton, London's most elusive bachelor, who has shown no indication that he plans to marry. And in all truth, why should he? When it comes to playing the consummate rake, nobody does it better...

--Lady Whistledown's Society Papers, April 1814

But this time the gossip columnists have it wrong. 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 to 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...


I think I might even like this book more after this reread. It's just so much fun. So...if you haven't read The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn, what are you waiting for? Go, get it! Reading it also got me out of my historical funk and I have already read and finished Lisa Kleypas' Secrets of a Summer Night and am now reading Courting Claudia by Robyn DeHart.

I finished "Its in his Kiss" by your author.My first book I've ever read of hers. I guess I'm starting backwards again, huh?
Well, if the writing is as good at the beginning as it is in the end, then I guess I'll go with your recommendation and read it.
Thanks.
