This review has been written when I re-read this in April 2013 
 Anthony and Kate have always been one of my favorite Regency Romance couples and now that I've re-read this once again. They still remain on that list 
 Anthony, a hero who is so many things at the same time yet is so balanced and well written you can't help but love him. He is a Viscount, a rake, has a temper, stubborn, is very overprotective over his loved ones and has built a weird assumption of his death, in fact he is timing it himself. 
 Who better to be matched with him but Kate, who is equally as stubborn and overprotective as he is. 
 How their relationship developed, it helped them develop as characters themselves. Anthony throwing away the idea of finding the wife who would be a good Lady Bridgerton and not someone he falls in love with, to a man who cannot live without Kate, a woman who he had no intention of marrying in the first place 
 And Kate, the ordinary girl who was outshine by her sister and choose to accept that about herself learned that she too can be beautiful to men 
 Their interactions are positively hilarious... how they started off with not really liking each other to slowing coming closer and closer together by sheer attraction and need. 
 Plus: This book has some of my favorite scenes in the series. 
 1) The Pall Mall match 
 2) The way how Anthony and Kate got engaged 
 5/5 Stars
