Synopsis
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. But now, spinning in the strong arms of the debonair and devastatingly handsome Benedict Bridgerton, she feels like royalty. Alas, she knows all enchantments must end when the clock strikes midnight.
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. He has sworn to find and wed his mystery miss, but this breathtaking maid makes him weak with wanting her. Yet, if he offers his heart, will Benedict sacrifice his only chance for a fairy tale love?

Thoughts
Book number three in the Bridgertons series is just as delightful as the first two. This story is what you get if you combine Jane Austen, Cinderella, and Gossip Girl—quite a captivating mix! I love Quinn’s writing style, which is full of rich descriptions and entertaining characters.
Sophie and Benedict’s love story is enchanting. It’s a bit of a rags to riches scenario with a dash of spice and a ton of wit. I enjoyed Sophie’s joy at being featured in Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers, which would be similar to today’s Page Six. The lady knew she had arrived! But on a serious note, this couple was there for each other when it mattered, and fully enjoyed their happily ever after. With five books left to read, I’m looking forward to the rest in this series!
