El principio del libro es muy cliché Cenicienta desde que se conocen nuestros personajes en un baile de máscaras y sobre todo la familia de la protagonista feminina en este caso un padre que hace como que no es su hija por ser una "bastarda" pero la acepta, luego llega una madrastra que es horrible y que la odia.
Luego del espectacular baile dónde Benedict conoce a Sophie y la inesperada huida del baile de ella, no se vuelven a encontrar hasta 2 años después ya que por problemas con su madrastra Sophie debe irse de la ciudad, en cuanto a Benedict el cual no puede sacar de su mente a la chica de máscara plateada la busco en cada baile hasta que perdió la esperanza.
Cuando se reencuentran él no logra reconocerla y por circunstancias ella decide no decirle que se conocen aunque Benedict siente una gran atracción hacia ella (

Beaucoup moins 50 nuances de grey que les autres tomes et c'est pour ça que c'est mon préféré pour l'instant. C'est le scénario le plus prévisible qui existe mais je sais pas ils étaient trop beaux tous les deux

I dont even know what to think but yet again absolutely dreadful. Benedict is boring and sophie is too damn much like Cinderella. The writing is sloppy and all over the place. BUT don’t get me wrong I did love every minute of this. Violet is my favourite and I can’t wait for Colin. I just wish we had more Daphne, Anthony, Simon and Kate interaction in this but what can i do when we got loads more from the younger siblings.

What I'm learning about Julia Quinn's Bridgerton novels is that she likes to ruin perfectly appealing romances with people acting like abusive dickheads. There's a lot to like about this book as long as you can ignore the couple of scenes about halfway through where Benedict gets to be this round's abusive dickhead.
MOST of the book is very sweet, with the star-crossed lovers from different social spheres falling for eachother, and for the first half, I was 100% Team Benedict and Sophie. Then Benedict asks Sophie to be his mistress, gets very reasonably rejected, and starts blackmailing Sophie to keep her in his life. It gets better, and Quinn at least has him realise he was a dickhead by the end, but man, this could have been a five star for me if it just weren't there in the first place.
I await season 4 of the TV show with bated breath and sincerely hope they leave out the parts of the story that make you hate Benedict.
