He also doesn’t realize it’s her when he does! He thinks that it is simply another servant who he is very physically attracted to and he doesn’t even think for a minute that marriage is something that is an option between them. Sophie is back to being a servant and Benedict doesn’t actually find her right away. That’s kind of where the similarities with Cinderella end. However, since she is wearing a mask and never tells him her name, she is able to disappear, leaving him wondering who she is and where he could find her. In that fateful night she meets Benedict Bridgerton who has almost given up on finding a suitable wife at all the balls he is forced to attend. Therefore, when the opportunity arises to attend a masquerade ball at the Bridgerton house she takes it, knowing that it might be the only thing in her life that will ever be meaningful, fulfilling one of her wildest dreams.
It is a hard time for women to be individuals, standing on their own accomplishments means very little to the rest of the world. She’s an illegitimate child and so she doesn’t have much power to claim anything for herself or the credibility to seek a job on her own.

I was surprised that this book was a bit of a Cinderella retelling. He has sworn to find and wed his mystery miss, but this breathtaking maid makes him weak with wanting her.I finished “An Offer From A Gentleman” a couple of days ago and well, Benedict wasn’t much of a “gentleman” now was he?
Alas, she knows all enchantments must end when the clock strikes midnight.Įver since that magical night, a radiant vision in silver has blinded Benedict to the attractions of any other-except, perhaps, this alluring and oddly familiar beauty dressed in housemaid’s garb whom he feels compelled to rescue from a most disagreeable situation. But now, spinning in the strong arms of the debonair and devastatingly handsome Benedict Bridgerton, she feels like royalty. Sophie Beckett never dreamed she’d be able to sneak into Lady Bridgerton’s famed masquerade ball-or that “Prince Charming” would be waiting there for her! Though the daughter of an earl, Sophie has been relegated to the role of servant by her disdainful stepmother. Look for Queen Charlotte, the new Bridgerton story by Julia Quinn and Shonda Rhimes, inspired by the Netflix series.įrom #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the story of Benedict Bridgerton, in the third of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix.
