What To Read After The Viscount Who Loved Me
I personally would recommend you to complete reading the Bridgerton series.
If you’ve already read The Duke and I and The Viscount Who Loved Me, you have read 2 out of 8 siblings’ love story.
If you enjoyed the first two books in the series, I encourage you to read the rest of the series as there is a lot more romance to explore.

Yes it is, however it is not overboard steamy. There’s just enough of banter between Kate and Anthony that leads to tension between the two. All Julia Quinn books including all of the Bridgerton books are steamy.

However, in the movies, Kate is a Sharma (taking over her Indian father’s name) while her mother is a Sheffield.
