BENEDICT'S STORY

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. Yet will another unexpectedly steal his heart—and his chance for a fairy tale love?

Since the Netflix series went out of order from the books, I was completely unfamiliar with Benedict’s story. I didn’t know what to expect but I was very pleased with the story I got! It was very ‘Cinderella Story’ and frankly I was here for it. I loved seeing a normal MC like Sophie. I like the high society thing but seeing a more realistic relationship develop was very appealing. Not only was Sophie a favorite for me, I love Benedict. I thought he was so protective and it was adorable hearing him talk about Sophie. The romance was gripping and I couldn’t wait to see what happened. Some parts did drag on a little but overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Wow, nothing like being manipulated and held against your will to get the heart fluttering.

I love Sophie, I just don’t care about it Benedict. I find him annoying and I just don’t connect with him. Violet and Sophie just make the story wonderful and I enjoyed the Cinderella retelling a lot. The second epilogue was also quite cute, giving her sister a love story reminded me of the Disney movie of the younger sister falling in love with the baker.
