Reviews with content warning for Sexual assault - An Offer From a Gentleman

A very fun overall, once you leave aside all the ways Benedict can be infuriating (hopefully that'll be smoothed over in the adaptation) and that whole "you've known each other for FIVE MINUTES" debacle at the end of the first act. It does help that I'm a sucker for the Cinderella trope. Also Violet Bridgerton deserves her own spin-off (and her intervention is definitely the one thing I hope to see in the adaptation). Finally, having never read any other Bridgerton book, I really enjoyed the way Lady Whistledown's publications frame the story, giving it context we couldn't get from the main characters' points of view alone.

I love any kind of cinderella-esc plot line so i devoured this book so far my favourite in the series and even more excited for books 4-8. A consistent thing I'm loving is the family dynamic in the books and how they all love and tease each other 10/10, definitely recommend this one.
