LOVED this book. Devoured it in a day. Thought the story was unique, loved the characters (although Ben kinda sucked, still loved him) and touched on some topics of substance and importance.

I haven't exactly loved any of the Bridgerton books so far, but they're fast-paced reads that are great for whenever I'm in a reading slump, so I keep picking them up. This is my least favorite so far, with all the things I didn't like about the first two books have just been ramped up a thousand levels. 

Benedict is awful and terrorizing, and I didn't find any of his actions romantic or justified at all, he just misuses his privileges and emotionally manipulates Sophie. At times he's agressive or almost violent. This book's only saving grace, is Lady Bridgerton's character.

Devoured this in a day. Far less spicey than the first two books in the series, but this was my favorite so far. Right mix of drama and heart. Made me tear up at the end. Sophie and Benedict had the most endearing love to me. PLEASE check content/trigger warnings, there is are SA situations in this novel that could be upsetting for survivor .

Ughhhhh can i hit Benedict over the head with some irony.
He saves Sophie from impending doom (sexual assault), and then puts her under just as much pressure on her.
I really don’t like him as a character. No redeeming qualities he is a twat.
