I like that we got to see a bit more of Violet in this one. (  ) Catherinesque | Jan 25, 2023 | I was kind of mad at this book for a good chunk of it—Benedict acted like an ass most of the time, but he was sorry in the end, and pretty much a hero when he wasn’t being dumb, so we’ll forgive him. The ending was so great—especially Violet in the scene at the jail—it bumped up my rating a full star. And the second epilogue featuring Posy was lovely. It was certainly not my favorite of the Bridgerton novels I’ve read so far, but still worth the read! ( ) Harks | Dec 17, 2022 | This is a cute retelling of "Cinderella" - Julia Quinn style. Sophie is the sweet, abused Cinderella character, complete with the wicked stepmother and evil stepsisters. She's dressed up by loyal servants to have one evening at a ball - from which she must return by midnight - and at that ball falls in love with Prince Charming - Benedict Bridgerton. It's cute to see this story played out in Regency England, and with our beloved Bridgertons. Unlike in Cinderella, though, things don't go "happily ever after" quite so easy. For one thing, Benedict doesn't even recognize her when they first meet again - much to Sophie's dismay. I enjoyed this book a great deal! ( ) Anniik | Nov 26, 2022 | It’s been so long since I’ve first read these that this re-read almost seems like a new book ( ) NickyM96 | Nov 21, 2022 | no reviews | add a review

A New York Times Bestseller From #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. BENEDICT'S STORY 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. 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 her his heart, will Benedict sacrifice his only chance for a fairy-tale love? No library descriptions found.

Sophie Beckett è la figlia illegittima del conte di Penwood e la sua vita non è mai stata semplice.
L’incontro al ballo con Benedict Bridgerton sarà il classico colpo di fulmine per entrambi ma la strada per arrivare alla felicità sarà molto lunga e complicata.
Il meno originale dei libri della serie sinora letti in quanto segue per buona parte quasi pedissequamente la favola a cui si ispira. Resta, comunque, una lettura molto piacevole, ben scritta e avvincente che segue nel solco dei volumi precedenti. (
