Didn love it as much as the previous two books I’m the series, although I do love Benedict. It felt like some things were mentioned once but had a huge impact on the ending. Felt a bit like a watt pad book, more than the other ones.

it was so cheesy!!!!!! but fun to read

I just wish romance novel authors would practice “don’t show, tell” instead of whatever the writing style they’re using is called

Sophie's story is so sad, but this book is so good. I couldn't stop reading their love story. By far my favorite Bridgerton thus far!

Benedict meets Sophie at a masked ball and falls for her. While he is rich her circumstances are difficult and when next they meet she is a maid at a country estate he is visiting. Thus begins their romance.

Have you read or seen an adaptation of Cinderella? Yes? You know how this plays out. Sophie is the "ward" of the Count, though no one ever mentions that she's clearly his byblow. He marries an evil woman with two daughters, and promptly dies. And Sophie becomes the unpaid house slave. Sound familiar? It should. It's Cinderella. This adaptation includes a masked ball, as well, where our Sophie meets Benedict Bridgerton, though she doesn't recognize him. He likes how she likes him for him, not for being Bridgerton No 2. The talk, dance, and kiss, and at the stroke of midnight, Sophie runs, as she has to be back to the house before her evil stepmother. 

Not realizing the situation, Benedict visits the house, holding the glove Sophie left behind. The stepmother figures out that the woman Benedict was looking for wasn't one of her daughters, but Sophie and kicks her out of the house. And we skip 2 years, when Benedict finds Sophie being harassed by several drunk lords and rescues her, only to fall ill. 

An Offer From A Gentleman is Cinderella, which by any other name would smell as sweet. There's some misunderstandings, some very Regency-era personalities, and an arrest. But, as expected, it ends well.
