An Offer From A Gentleman is the third of Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series, and follows Benedict, who has spent the last two years of his life searching for the mystery woman he met at his mother’s masquerade ball. After almost giving up on his search, he meets Sophie, a servant who might just be the one to help him move on. I love Sophie, but Benedict has stolen my heart. I loved this book. It is my favourite Bridgerton book so far, the love between Benedict and Sophie is so strong from the first page. I wish they weren’t skipping Benedict’s story in the show. “Suddenly the world was a simple place. He loved her, and that was all that mattered.”

Benedict's actually an asshole in this who's incapable of listening to what Sophie wants and respecting her decisions. It all works out, but like...

I actually really liked this one, and I'm pleasantly surprised to say that only because the premise of Benedict telling a servant to be his mistress was uh... not it. But it turns out that wasn't the premise at all actually and, yes, it has a Cinderella-esque set-up but in truth that really is only the set-up and the storyline and characters develop much further and in more interesting ways than just retelling that. The FMC, Sophie, was an absolute breathe of fresh air - her intelligence and her determination and her humour was so wonderfully matched with Benedict. Benedict's been my favourite background character in the books (and TV shows) thus far, and it's wonderful to see him take center stage now and to get a proper look inside his often-sarcastic and sardonic head. The interactions with his siblings were wonderful and witty, as expected, but the most unexpected and delightful relationship was that of Benedict and his mother, Violet, which made me love him and her all the more. Although the sex scenes are still Not It for me, I think now that I'm used to Julia Quinn's writing style, I can see the self-aware and witty narratorial voice for what it's intended to be and I found this to be the most entertaining book so far in the series.
