Review # 1 was written on 2020-12-29 00:00:00 Hollie Lopez 3.75 stars ✩⋆ UPDATE : fuuuuck yeah there's a season 2 wooo!!! @netflix @shondaland PLEASE for the love of whistledown, don't show anymore anthony x siena scenes and kathony scenes better be hotter and more passionate or else imma sue with my 1.75 dollars 😤😤 * * * don't mind me. just reading this after suffering through the anthony + siena scenes in the show. after watching episode 1 i ran so fast to goodreads and started stalking everyone's books and me always being curious af and wanting to know if siena's gonna be a problem and me being weirdly attracted to anthony's sideburns, i read this aaand i loved it. kate is just so- *chef's kiss* and the enemies to lovers trope- *chef's kiss x2* soo if y'all don't mind, imma just rant about anthony + siena a little bit here because their scenes were PAINFUL af and i just gotta let it out of my chest ya know? so don't mind this ⤵ section if you haven't watched the Bridgerton because SPOILERS FOR THE SHOW .・゜゜・ ・゜゜・．.・゜゜・ ・゜゜・．.・゜゜・ .・゜゜・ RANT ABOUT ANTHONY + SIENA (in the show) ↠ pro tip: do NOT read this book after watching just ONE episode of the Bridgerton because i was😀smiling😀through😀the😀pain from all the anthonysiena scenes. @netflix @shondaland @showrunners y'all have some explaining to do. knowing that siena/maria only has one scene in this book where he just flirts and kisses her in the neck and anthony apparently being this character who avoids anything related to love and commitment... the show showing A LOT of anthony + siena hurt. ooohhh the pain. i will never forget his ass pumping, fucking her against a tree i will never forget them cuddling and touching lovingly after sex i will never forget all the moaning and grunting (yes, thank you netflix subtitles for specifying that they are, indeed, moaning and grunting) i will never forget him begging her to come back to him (book anthony would NEVERRR) i will never forget the longing looks he gave her i will never forget them dancing, saying he'll leave everything for her (this one hurt the most not gonna lie because wtf) and i will never forget how passionate their sex scenes are that they literally rip each other's clothes off and lick and eat each other's face out. ew. listen, listen. i get that they probably did this to make anthony have some backstory to give him more screen time and to make his arc better for season 2 but like- their scenes were TOO passionate and steamy that i'm getting wrinkles from cringing too much. you know what i did after watching episode 1 and continued watching the show after reading this??? i had to skim each episode so i'm prepared for any anthony + siena scenes so i won't be blindsided by them. that's how bad it was. the reason why he wants a loveless marriage is plausible in the books because it was about grief and his father and it had nothing to do about being broken-hearted from another woman and the show is going that route it seems. it hurt watching them knowing Ms. Kate Sheffield is supposed to be his one and ONLY and FIRST love because he was anti-relationship before he met her. i mean, he didn't say he loved siena but it sure seemed like he was "in love" with her. whenever they come up on the screen i yell at them to TONE IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT! they were at a 100, i needed them to be at a 0. they probably added this couple for smut's sake to make the show more raunchy but daaaamn leave the smut to the main characters but don't touch anthony jeez. give that smut to benjamin (benedict?) instead or something but SAVE THAT PASSION FOR KATE!! and i know i shouldn't compare the adaptation but this one just hurt. i read this loving kate and anthony and being obsessed with them real fast and when i continued on with the show these scenes with siena felt like a slap in the face. basically what i'm saying is, ✨ KATE DESERVES BETTER ✨ i mean, i did feel for siena and i know what they're trying to do to her character, veering away from the "OW" stereotype and giving her some character depth, but goddamn. TONE IT DOWN- HE LOOKED SO IN LOVE WITH HER. all the feelings he has for siena is supposed to be for kate ugh. the only thing that's giving me comfort right now is that twitter, friends, and all of internet are collectively, with utter detest and disgust, are hating on anthony + siena. @netflix @shondaland @showrunners y'all better make kate + anthony scenes waaaaayyy more intense and sexy and there better be at least 20+ smut scenes between them or else y'all are about to catch these hands 😤👊🏼 ok anywaysss thank you for listening to my ted talk xx .・゜゜・ ・゜゜・．.・゜゜・ ・゜゜・．.・゜゜・ .・゜゜・ REVIEW FOR THE BOOK moving on to the book now, i fucking loved it. 『 p l o t 』↠ Anthony Bridgerton being the eldest and taking up the Viscount title, he finally decided to marry (not for love) to fulfill his duties. he wants to marry Edwina but her sister, Kate Sheffield (h) doesn't want a rake (a man ho) to be her sister's husband so she does everything to sabotage Anthony's courtship (as she should). after reading one chapter, i already knew i was gonna love kate and i really did (you see why i feel so angry for our girl with the whole anthony + siena scenes?) she didn't take any shit from anthony, called him out whenever his "rake" behavior is showing and their enemies to lovers trope? slowburn and hesitant friendship? banter? hate to love? kate smiling evilly whenever anthony suffers? newton the corgi? kate being the one and only and FIRST love for anthony?? YESSS. i can't believe a fucking bee caused them to get married. my favorite scene is the pall mall scene with kate's black mallet of death and anthony's pink mallet. i am praying to the netflix gods to make this scene happen because watching anthony being the loser was such great content. i would've rated this higher but i just wanted more scenes of them being a couple. i looove slowburn but after suffering through the siena scenes, i wanted to see more smut. and honestly, i know he didn't need to grovel but i wish he did just because i'm a ho for these scenes. basically, i just wanted more of them. aaand that maria (siena in the show) scene where he invited her to his study where, unknowingly, kate was hiding, and he was going to use maria to "forget" her was annoying af but thank god this ended quickly. * * * there's some rumors siena might replace kate but they better fucking not! there's some easter eggs in the show that discredit these rumors tho since there was that tulip embroidery scene, mary (kate's stepmom) being mentioned in the beginning of the last episode, and the bee at the end of the show sooo kate + anthony for the win!! anywhooo 10/10 for the show because eloise and penelope are adorable, benedict (benjamin?) and simon are hot af, anthony's sideburns, and because of episode 6 but i ain't ever forget how they're doing anthony + kate dirty right now with all this siena bs. i have a love/hate relaitonship with @shondaland because i don't trust her anymore after the whole april + jackson, mark + lexie, and callie + arizona shit. so PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF LADY WHISTLEDOWN, DO NOT RUIN THIS COUPLE. thx.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-11-12 00:00:00 Michael Wolters Men are so fragile, it's unreal. "I don't enjoy being condescended to," Kate said stifly. His eyes flashed. "And I don't like being denied my rights," he returned, his voice cold and his face a harsh rendition of aristocratic power." (she asked him to wait a week to have sex) Lmao, so the "hero" here is part of those men who try to convince women that they need sex. "Tell me," he whispered, his lips pressing against her ear. "Tell me how to make it right. For I don't think I can grant you your reprieve." He molded his body against hers, his strong arms holding her close as he groaned, "I can't wait a week, Kate. I simply cannot do it." Oh, well. I simply cannot like you, dog. For more of my reviews, please visit:
