An Offer from a Gentleman by Julia Quinn

Goodreads Description:

Julia Quinn is sure to charm readers with her Regency-era Cinderella story, An Offer From a Gentleman. The Bridgerton family is wealthy, well born, and universally admired. And with six of the eight Bridgerton children already mingling with society, it's no wonder they're mentioned so frequently in the most popular (and accurate) source of social news,Lady Whistledown's Society Papers. But not even the mysterious Lady Whistledown can identify the masked maiden who completely captivated the Bridgerton second son, Benedict, at his mother's masquerade ball -- a silver-clad beauty who vanished on the stroke of midnight. It was a magical night for Sophie Beckett, orphaned, illegitimate daughter of the Earl of Penwood. Attending the ball was a beautiful dream, sharing the evening with Benedict Bridgerton was the stuff of fantasy -- and returning home to her role as unpaid servant to her father's cruel widow and stepdaughters was a nightmare. Then she lost even the small security of that position, and things went from bad to worse. By the time Sophie met Benedict again, she was in truly desperate straits. He made her feel precious, even in rags, but Sophie had grave reservations about accepting.

My Rating: 5 out of 5

My Review:

I really loved this book! It's obviously a spin on the classic Cinderella story.  However, I personally LOVE this spin better then the original! :)  I really enjoyed the interactions between all of the Bridgertons in the story, they always make me smile.  I also really loved the chemistry between Sophia and Benedict. They seemed so real and everything they did seems plausible.  This story just sucked me in. I highly recommend this book and series to anyone who enjoys historical romance!
