An Offer From a Gentleman by Julia Quinn
3.0
It started as a regular Cinderella story, which didn't really leave a good impression on me. Of course, they have their conflicts and all, and this is rather light compared to the second book, but the story isn't deep enough, I think. It focuses on romance alone, with simple moments that leading up their union.
Not a bad book, but I kinda expected something deeper. Kate and Anthony in the second book have past trauma which helped their character development, but for Benedict and Sophie, it's simply love at first sight and how Sophie is illegitimate. And since it's not a problem for Benedict, the "past" problem wasn't really that much. However, I must also say that it's a nice change of pace with the romance being lighter. It's easier to enjoy, and easier to finish as well.
