Review:

This was also so good!! I did not like it as much as the first one, mainly because it was a bit of a retelling of Cinderella, and that is sometimes overdone. It was good as far as retellings go, and the characters were so compelling, but it was a little common. Some parts were fun; I love the epilogues and how they do them. I also love the way the world is shaped around Lady Whistledown. I am excited to see how the tv show will progress and follow the same rules. One change I noticed is that in the Brigerton TV show, they already revealed Whistledown, but in the third book, they still haven’t. I really hope it is Penelope in both, but I’m still not sure. This was an excellent book, and I have already started the next one.

Trigger Warnings:
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Death from anaphylaxis recounted, and Death of a parent discussed

Synopsis From Book:

Will she accept his offer before the clock strikes midnight? 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?
