*1814 promises to be another eventful season, but not, This Author believes, for Anthony Bridgerton, London's most elusive bachelor, who has shown no indication that he plans to marry. And in all truth, why should he? When it comes to playing the consummate rake, nobody does it better...
--Lady Whistledown's Society Papers, April 1814*
But this time the gossip columnists have it wrong. 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...

Julia Quinn has a fun writing style, but her characters are wretched human beings. Anthony treats Katharine abominably, and I nearly threw my Kobo across the room in one scene.
I barely made it through this book, and I have no desire to read any other books by Julia Quinn.
Rounding up from 2.5 stars. I just did not like Anthony in this. Granted I watched season 2 of the show before listening to this and maybe I'd have like him if I wasn't constantly comparing to show-Anthony but I felt he just wasn't that likable which took away from the story. Also honestly? The second epilogue had wayyyy too much pall-mall.
I will say that the story wrapped up very well and I like how Kathony got together in the book (not as much as the show but what can you do).
Re-reading the bridgerton series and I almost forgot how much I liked Anthony's sorry behind. Such a great story (much better than Daphne) and I can't wait to see it on the telly as a part of the show's second season.
