New York Times Bestseller
The inspiration for season four of BRIDGERTON, a series created by Shondaland for Netflix, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn: the story of Benedict Bridgerton, in the third of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring her charming, powerful Bridgerton family.
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?

5By michmar26I absolutely loved the tv series and thought I try reading the book before the next season comes out about Benedict and I fell in love by the first chapter. I will definitely be purchasing more of her books.One word : Banter
5By JiffyjasThe banter in this book is so fun, witty, and romantic. My favorite Bridgerton book thus far.Captivating

5By Gravity boomSo well written. The characters are so interesting. A beautiful love story!Another successful Bridgerton book.
5By alouwri001Lowkey didn’t like this book at the start. It definitely gets better as the chapters go on. Loved, loved, loved, the portion of the book where they return to the Bridgerton family home and unsuccessfully hide their relationship. Good book! The main characters had good banter and chemistry.Favorite by far
5By LipvixensYes it’s basically a Cinderella story but with some twists and turns. I love their playful banter. Benedict is flirty and debonair. You can really feel his character. A Cinderella story can really happen in real life. It happened for me and my husband.Don’t Skip
5By Clementine~I almost skipped this book because I figured it was just Cinderella and I’ve heard that story a thousand times. And while yes, this was a Cinderella retelling, it did still feel like its own story in a way. Probably about half way through it stops feeling like Cinderella and starts feeling like a Bridgerton novel again. I fell in love with Sophie though, I loved her story. This book was really really good.Didn’t think I’d like it, but I loved it.
5By ~Buble'Babe~Benedict was my least favorite out of the 3 eldest brothers. Thought he lacked luster. But this book showed me everything great about him. Great re-telling of Cinderella with a twist. Loved how his family got involved at the end.Cinderella?
3By KimmlynnConfused if I was reading a bridgerton book or Cinderella, honestly. It was way too close to the original tale. Horrible step mom that is forced to look after her, father dies while she’s young, horrible two step sisters, one is secretly nice. She longs to be more then the house maid and falls for the ‘prince’ the stepmom wants the other girls to marry. It is literally taken directly out of disneys script…? All the way to the midnight deadline, leaving behind a piece of clothing he can use to find her and the “prince” falling in love her at first sight at the ball. Going outside to dance too. Just more sexual lol Just confused who missed that while edited the book. Could’ve made it ever so slightly different. A Step brother? One sibling instead? Dad dies later? Literally anything. I’m waiting for the mice and birds to come help her make the dress for the bridgerton ball any moment..Loved it!
5By CDL}This is by far my favorite Bridgerton story to date! Sophie and Benedict are a perfect match love this story so much! I’ve already read it three times.AMAZING

5By DewaHoneyThe books are always better!! Although I’m curious to see this on film, I am completely smitten and must report WELL DONE LADIES, VERY WELL DONE.Love love love
5By bbeerrttaaThis Was such a fun read it was very emotional at times, and Sophie and Benedict story is truly as romantic as it could be. In this story, you will find yourself crying and yelling, as if you are experiencing it on your own. I love all the other characters in this book too! lady Bridgerton showed again, just how much her children’s happiness means to her and Posys story is the perfect way to end this book. 💓💓💓👏👏👏
3By ***Rose Love***Love this book… I couldn’t put this book down…Mediocre
3By Alizé_Too much like Cinderella in the beginning. Very unoriginal.
