So he parties hearty throughout his twenties, and now that he’s about 28, he figures it’s time to find a woman to marry, secure the Bridgerton line, and then die. And Anthony gets it into his head that there’s no way he can overtake his father, either in goodness, fortune – or years.Īnthony has lived his life since the age of 18 assuming he’s only got another 20 years left. Anthony is 18, and suddenly the head of the family, to take care of his pregnant mother and six – soon-to-be-seven – siblings. After having seven children – and loving them all very, very well – Edmund is stung by a bee at the age of 39 and dies. The beginning of the book discusses Anthony’s childhood, and how much he revered his father, Edmund.

But not just any wife – a wife he cannot love. Anthony has decided it’s time to settle down and take a wife. Viscount takes place about a year after the events of The Duke and I. The lead Bridgerton in The Viscount Who Loved Me is Anthony – you know, the asshole who threatened Simon to a duel over Daphne? The one who has a raging temper and I couldn’t really see where he was funny or had a sense of humor at all in the first book? So yeah, this time he’s the hero.

After finishing The Duke and I, I requested the next book in the series from my local library – I believe the Bridgerton series on Netflix covers through the first four books, so … you know me! Now I have a finger-quotes “deadline” and need to be caught up for it!
