When Anthony Bridgerton decides it is time to marry, he wants no part of love. He sets out to make Edwina Sheffield, the beauty of the season and someone he can tolerate without loving, his future bride. When he discovers Edwina will not marry unless her sister Kate approves of the suitor, Anthony makes impressing Kate his number one priority. But is he enjoying his time spent with Kate too much?

After a string of disappointing reads, I knew I could count on Julia Quinn and the Bridgertons for an enjoyable read.  This second installment certainly delivered.  Anthony is a conflicted but likable hero.  Determined not to fall in love, he doesn’t know how to handle the feelings he’s developing for Kate.  used to standing in her sister’s shadow, Kate fully expects to become a spinster.  how can she believe Anthony would choose her over the beautiful Edwina?  Full of witty humor and tender moments, I read the entire book with a smile on my face.  And really, can you ask for anything more?

Small town virgin librarian (is there any other kind?) Monet has a secret second job as a sex-advice columnist. When threatening letters start arriving in town, her father hires Elijah to be her bodyguard. Monet decides it’s time to learn something about sex and Elijah would be the perfect teacher.

This one is extremely short. Kindle has it listed a 78 pages but I read it in under an hour and it was over by the 47% mark. The rest was a sample of the next book in the series. It seems like a teaser to draw you into the full length book releasing next month, but it falls flat. There are no struggles or obstacles for the characters to overcome, no tension whatsoever. I’ve seen more tense episodes of the Brady Bunch. The ending is too quick, too easy, and too perfect (just like the Brady Bunch, come to think of it.)

Sahara gets lost in the bayou trying to get pictures of a rare orchid. She is found by brothers Jacque and Quint and taken back to Jacque’s small bayou home. Sahara and Jacque fall into instant lust, but can there be more?

After growing up in extreme poverty, Sahara is determined to become rich as an adult. Jacque has made millions but hides that fact from Sahara. He is looking for a woman who will love him enough that she would be willing to live in the bayou with him.

This one was a bit of a train wreck…I didn’t like what I was reading but I couldn’t put it down. When Jacque and Quint get Sahara home after rescuing her, a bit of a threesome happens. ‘A bit?’ you ask. Yeah, I’m going to go with ‘a bit.’ See, Quint’s wife storms in and puts a stop to things before the three can take the… final plunge. But enough has already happened to make me feel squicky about it all. Sahara never knew that Quint was married, but sleazy Jacque – and obviously Quint – knew.

Missing the only bus leaving for days, Sahara agrees to stay with Jacque. A strange half naked, bayou style shotgun wedding later, and Sahara seems to be well and truly stuck with Jacque. Still wanting to leave, each escape attempt is thwarted by the bayou folk loyal to Jacque, who finally chains her to his bed. And between all of the attempts, what is poor little Sahara to do? Why enjoy all the hot sex that Jacque can provide, of course.

I’m still baffled by this book.
