An Offer From a Gentleman by Julia Quinn

1.0

What the hell was this mess? I mean, Benedict was not my favorite Bridgerton, nowhere near that, but I never expected to hate the a**hole. He was abusive. He blackmailed Sophie, he didn't accept "no" for an answer and honestly, I kinda feel like he did to her what Daphne did to Simon in the 1st book. I don't care what you say, this thing was not consensual. The girl was coerced and pressured into sleeping with him. GOODNESS, I HATE HIM!
Let me give you a few examples of sir Benedict Bridgerton.
"He liked that she was helpless."
"He wanted her to know he was stalking her."
"He hoped she was afraid."
"He wanted to hurt her."
Seriously, is this how you think about the person you love? Cause if you do, get your a** to therapy ASAP.
Somebody please explain to me why Benedict and Sophie were so adamant that they loved each other? Why did they? Because she knew he draws? Because he had a nice family? Ugh...
I'm raging after this book. RAGING! The only reason I didn't DNF'd it and throw it in the trash was cause I was curious if the stepmother will get her punishment.
Spoiler She didn't.


NEVER AGAIN. EVER.
