somasis 's review for:

An Offer From a Gentleman by Julia Quinn
3.0

Urgh this is so hard to rate!

Is Benedict an asshole who is super aggressive and gets his happy ending without groveling nearly enough? YES. Is this a Cinderella story with heaps of secrets, angst, and pining? Also YES. Am I 100% trash for the Brigertons? GOD YES.

If I take into account the laughter and actual tears this book pulled out of me, my rating is high. If I factor in the number of times I wanted to throat punch Benedict? It's muuuuch lower. But the book is compulsively readable, I gobbled it up in a half a day, and I can't wait for the next volume.

We'll call it 3.5 stars (still less rage educing than The Duke and I)
