I haven't read any of the Bridgerton books (by Julia Quinn) yet, even though I've seen all three seasons on Netflix. When I saw the latest trailer, I was suddenly compelled to read at least "An Offer From A Gentlemen," because I am a SUCKER for a Cinderella retelling (suuuuucker). So I guess, here we are.
["Will she accept his offer before the clock strikes midnight?
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. But now, spinning in the strong arms of the debonair and devastatingly handsome Benedict Bridgerton, she feels like royalty. Alas, she knows all enchantments must end when the clock strikes midnight.
Who was that extraordinary woman? Ever 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. He has sworn to find and wed his mystery miss, but this breathtaking maid makes him weak with wanting her. Yet, if he offers his heart, will Benedict sacrifice his only chance for a fairy tale love?"]
This book was REALLY good! I was honestly shocked on how good it was! Which I shouldn't have been, it being so popular and the series being turned into a show. But it was SO good!!
It was an easy read. For some reason, I thought it would be more Victorian-language-y, but aside from the occasional diction change, it was modern. And the chapters just read so smoothly. And I was constantly compelled to keep reading.
Not to mention the actual plot, and the actual couple, and the actual perfection of a family that is the Bridgertons. Who aren't perfect, but they're perfectly imperfect.
Now I REALLY can't wait for the fourth season...maybe I should add the rest of the books to my TBR..
