My favourite quotes from The Viscount Who Loved Me..
1. “Of course I know. It’s just that when you agree to be mother to a child you haven’t borne, your responsibility is twice as great. You must work even harder to ensure that child’s happiness and welfare.”
Can we take a moment to appreciate how amazing of a person Mary is. She is every step child’s dream 😊
2. “Miss Sheffield,” he murmured unthinkingly, “you are as lovely as your sister.” “And you, Lord Bridgerton,” she replied in a tone that could have frozen champagne, “are almost as handsome as your brother.”
This was the moment that Anthony realised that he would never get to have the last word with her, or the upper hand in any sort of relationship he would have with her, for that matter 😂😂
3. “You should have a tulip,” he said matter-of-factly. “It isn’t right that Edwina receives all the flowers.”
I find it so ironic that he was constantly trying to charm kate while he was supposed to be winning over Edwina. Also, If someone can read this and not immediately swoon, they are probably dead inside 😂
4. “He wasn’t sure how it had come about, but her good opinion meant a great deal to him. Of course he needed her approval in his much-neglected suit of Edwina, but there was more to it than that. She’d insulted him, she’d nearly dunked him in The Serpentine, she’d humiliated him at Pall Mall, and yet he craved her good opinion.”
This man was whipped soo long before he realised it. I can literally picture him asking Kate’s opinion on the smallest things, after they get married 🥰
5. “A man with charm is an entertaining thing, and a man with looks is, of course, a sight to behold, but a man with honor—ah, he is the one, dear reader, to which the young ladies should flock.”
Is it just me, or is Lady Whilstledown so full of wisdom. You could’ve never guessed that she’s a teenager. If only she was there to tell me this when I was going through my teenage years 😅
6. “And then there was Kate Sheffield. The bane of his existence. And the object of his desires.All at once.”
This perfectly sumps up their relationship and how they fell about each other 😍
7. “And instead he couldn’t stop thinking about Kate. Kate, who, much as she infuriated him, couldn’t help but command his respect. How could he not admire one who clung so steadfastly to her convictions? And Anthony had to admit that the crux of her convictions—devotion to family—was the one principle he held above all else.”
They’re so alike. Both are equally stubborn and would die for their families. A match made in fictional heaven 🤩
8. “And it was stunning how much he wanted to be the one to make her feel better.”
“But she wished—oh, how she wished—that when he was ready to face his fears, she could be the one to help him.”
The fact that they were so invested in finding out more about each others fears, and helping the other overcome it, is why their relationship is so meaningful ❤️❤️
9. “It was that spark. That damnable spark that never seemed to dim between them. That awful prickle of awareness that burned every time she entered a room, or took a breath, or pointed a toe. That sinking feeling that he could, if he let himself, love her.”
I CAN’T. 😢 Anthony Bridgerton is a lovable idiot. But an idiot nonetheless 😂
10. “It was a bee,” Kate practically wailed. “Just a bee! Surely we can’t be forced to marry because of a bee!”
This is the funniest moment of the book. That bee died a heroic death. Anthony probably thanked it every night in his prayers, for creating the opportunity for him to marry kate 🤣🤣
10. “He wouldn’t, in a million years, have allowed himself to choose her as a wife. She was far, far too dangerous to his peace of mind.”
I’m certain that Anthony has the emotional intelligence of a toothbrush. Thank god kate was there to knock some sense into him 😂
