Review #3 Audiobook An Offer From a Gentleman (Bridgertons #3) by Julia Quinn He keeps pursuing her, with very little thought about what she says she doesnt want and patronizingly tells her she doesnt know what she wants because if she doesnt become his mistress she will be alone and unprotected from unscrupulous men……who would do what exactly? Seduce her? Just like he is doing? Really.īut in this book Violet Bridgerton reveals herself to be the Worlds Best Mother Ever and that makes putting up with stupid Benedict worthwhile. Sophie is attracted to him too, but does not want to be his mistress. Benedict saves Sophie from being victimized by the son of her then employer, but then he feels his attraction to her growing and subjects her to what we would now call sexual harassment at the very least. I would give this book 4 stars or more but one thing really bothered me. But he doesnt recognize her as she is supporting herself as a housemaid. Anyway, life finds them together again when he rescues her from being raped by a bunch of drunken lords. He meets her at a masquerade ball and is instantly smitten, but she wont tell him who she is. Born on the wrong side of the blanket, she has no real place in society.īenedict Bridgerton is a second son, and like Sophie, does not know exactly where he fits in.

Shes trying to find her identity, really.

And the stories really are fabulous! An Offer from a Gentleman has Cinderella elements and I like the heroine, Sophie, very much. Fans of Tessa Dare and others have been urging me to read Julia Quinns fabulous series for years.
