pickFor some reason, they‘re skipping over Benedict in the Netflix series and going to Collin‘s story. I‘m not sure why. I‘m glad I‘ve read the book now. I might have some idea what they‘ll make of it. I loved this book. I love Benedict‘s quirky sense of humor and the fact that he would marry a woman because he loved her despite her station. #SeriesLove2024 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView
Sophie Beckett never dreamed she'd be able to sneak into Lady Bridgerton's famed masquerade ball—or that she would be spinning in the arms of her "Prince Charming"—the debonair and devastatingly handsome Benedict Bridgerton. But when the clock strikes midnight, Sophie‘s enchanting evening ends. Since that night Benedict has been able to think of nothing but the bewitching young woman, and he‘s sworn to find and wed his mystery miss.

Here and there on the forest floor, now hidden, now revealing themselves, tiny white blossoms lifted up their heads.
Wild orchids.

so-soThis one is a Cinderella re-telling.
I really liked Sophie. She was very confident and knew what she wanted even when her life was in a bad place.
I like and hate Benedict. He could be charming and sweet, but he also wouldn't take no for an answer.
I loved how Posy's story ended up!
so-soI know cultures are way different in history but I struggle with reading societal expectations and when men don't listen to women when they say no to advances.
pickA nice, charming Cinderella retale.
Though Benedict didn't act like Prince Charming when he was basically coercing Sophie. This topic was unfortunately quickly dealt with.
Besides that, the author's writing style was as always very charming and full of wit. Again, I was delighted by Lady Violet's schemes and Lady Whistleton's reports. All in all an entertaining and delightful read.
The second epilogue brought the fourth star for this book.
