I believe this is the 3rd Bridgerton book. I got into the series after watching the two seasons on Netflix. So far, I have really enjoyed them.  

This is Benedict and Sophie’s story. Sophie is the bastard of an Earl and is hated by her stepmother. Basically, hers is a Cinderella story right down to the ball and servitude to her stepmother and two stepsisters. Sophie meets Benedict at a ball then disappears.  Benedict looks for her everywhere but she has vanished. Two years later they meet under totally different circumstances and he doesn’t recognize her.  

This is a romance so you can guess the ending. The book was very funny and sweet. They had good chemistry and I enjoyed their banter. Romance readers everywhere should read this series.
