I did enjoy the break from the Bridgertons formula that takes place in this book. Afterwards, the story takes a much more salacious spin as Benedict attempts to woo Sophie. So the beginning of the novel is pretty much beat for beat Cinderella. Plot: Cinderella featuring an Indecent Proposal The big crux of the novel is that Sophie is hiding who she really is. This installment is also a retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale, set in regency era England and without any magical elements. Interestingly, for this book Julia Quinn made the choice to double dip. He just doesn’t recognize her without her mask… Genre: Fairy Tale Historical Romance Sophie, meanwhile, has been dreaming of her prince charming, Benedict Bridgerton, since being expelled from her stepmother’s house. At first offering to find her a better employer, Benedict finds himself drawn to Sophie–but unable to marry her as such a lowly girl. He dreams about this woman for years until he encounters Sophie Beckett, a maid he rescues from unwanted sexual advances. A chance encounter leads to his meeting the one woman who seems to not care about his name–and won’t give him hers. Benedict is used to being an afterthought to his brother, Anthony, except for one night at a ball. Yet, if he offers his heart, will Benedict sacrifice his only chance for a fairy tale love? What is An Offer From a Gentleman about?įor this installment of Bridgertons, we meet Benedict–the second eldest son. He has sworn to find and wed his mystery miss, but this breathtaking maid makes him weak with wanting her. Who was that extraordinary woman? Ever since that magical night, a radiant vision in silver has blinded Benedict to the attractions of any other-except, perhaps this alluring and oddly familiar beauty dressed in housemaid’s garb whom he feels compelled to rescue from a most disagreeable situation. Alas, she knows all enchantments must end when the clock strikes midnight. But now, spinning in the strong arms of the debonair and devastatingly handsome Benedict Bridgerton, she feels like royalty. Sophie Beckett never dreamed she’d be able to sneak into Lady Bridgerton’s famed masquerade ball-or that “Prince Charming” would be waiting there for her! Though the daughter of an earl, Sophie has been relegated to the role of servant by her disdainful stepmother. Will she accept his offer before the clock strikes midnight?
