Publisher's summary

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 her his heart, will Benedict sacrifice his only chance for a fairy tale love?

My Favorite!!

I really enjoy Julie Quinn and any book with Rosalyn Landor is guaranteed enjoyment of the narration, which can ruin a good story with the wrong narrator.

I have listened to several of the Bridgerton Series and have enjoyed them all. This was jumped to the top as my favorite.

Not my favorite in the series...

I love the Bridgerton series, but I struggled with this book for two reasons: 1. The author basically retold Cinderella. It was not creative in the slightest, and 2. She made the heroine of the story so dismally self-resenting, and the prince charming so horrendously self centered, it was a challenge to get through. I have not felt such disdain for two characters ever before.
However, I am pleased to say that just because you don't like one member of your family doesn't mean you don't like the remaining members. The rest of the series seems to look up from here!

Cinderella/Ever After = Benedict & Sophie

My favorite so far of the Bridgerton series! The story itself reminds me of the movie Ever After.

Cinderella

Loved the first two books in the series and after I got past the realization that this was just another Cinderella story, I enjoyed the rest of the book. Ms. Quinn is a great writer and keeps you interested all the way through!

Guilty pleasure

Most of the books I listen to are political or educational. In an attempt to learn and expand my views, but I have had so much fun listening to the Bridgerton series that I just can’t put them down.

My favorite book in the series so far!

My favorite book in the series so far! I like the Cinderella story. I loved how powerful and kind Mama Violet is. I can't wait to read about Eloise and Colin.

Enjoying this series

I’m not much of a reader, but this book kept me interested. It was almost like a Cinderella story, which is one of my favorites!

Good, but not my favorite.

Could have done without the Cinderella by-blow but it was good. Narration is always excellent with this series.

my fave so far of the Bridgerton series.

Benedict's story is my favorite because of how passionate he is, and how he pursued Sophie. Anthony drove me crazy! Let's see how Colin's story goes.
