While I didn’t love The Viscount Who Loved Me quite as much as the first book in the series, it’s still immensely enjoyable. I think the problem for me was pacing. Some parts dragged along unnecessarily and I tended to lose interest. Those bumps in the road did not prevent the wonderful characters and witty enemies to lovers storyline from shining through, however.
