I didn’t like the beginning as it seemed very like Cinderella and the evil stepmother but I really got into the storyline after chapter 2. Loved the ending of it. My favourite book of the series, so far anyway!

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.
