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.

1.5 stars. While it wasn't as bad as the first book I didn't care for this book. Didnt enjoy the characters or find them charming in anyway
Kate was a smart, headstrong heroine and Anthony was a rake with a heart of gold. It was a very enjoyable story to escape into.
The film adaptation ruined my enjoyment of the Bridgerton series.
