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?

Featured Article: The Bridgertons Audiobooks in Chronological Order


In a fictional Regency-era London, the Bridgerton and the Featherington families depend on the marriages of their many children. Bridgertons has won over the hearts of millions, and Julia Quinn has likened the series to "a Cinderella story." Shonda Rhimes adapted the series of romance novels into the hugely popular Bridgerton Netflix series. Although a different character inspires each volume of the series, it’s best to enjoy the saga chronologically.

Rosalyn Landor is QUEEN at narration!

JQ calls this story her homage to Cinderella. It that regard, it's exactly what you would expect... but there is so much more to this story than that! Sophie's sweetness, Violet's understanding, Benedict's longing... all of it was lovely. And in a series like Bridgerton, where most of the perspectives are seen from those born with silver spoons in their mouths, this story was refreshingly different. In any case, it has dethroned RMB as my favorite Bridgerton novel!

My favourite thus far

I absolutely adored this one!!! The chemistry, the humour, the love - all of it was so sweet!!!
This was my favourite “2nd epilogue” thus far too - hands down.

Quite enjoyable!

Even though it rekindles a Cinderella story, the book takes the reader on a very interesting journey.

Good Romance

All of the romance books seem to be very similar but different. I really love getting to know each and everyone of the Bridgerton family members and their stories. 4.5 stars

Difficult yet, wonderful.

It was hard to listen to it initially since the beginning of the story is basically a typical "once upon a time" love story; but the twist was well done, the reveal of the woman's character was simple, but smartly done.

A fun, fluffy and delightfully predictable listen

I loved watching the first season of the Bridgerton series, so I jumped on the bandwagon and read the first book followed by the second book featuring Anthony and was swiftly disenchanted with the series. I did not like him. Not one bit. But when Audible offers up the third book as a freebie audiobook, you sometimes have a change of heart.

This was an entertaining story that focuses on Benedict Bridgerton, the second oldest son. Benedict and Sophie Beckett meet at a masquerade ball with a Cinderella-like encounter. As one does. The two have a connection but Sophie leaves suddenly to not incur the wrath of her evil stepmother (she's got an evil stepsister too) leaving Benedict not knowing the true identity of the woman who captivated him. Years later, they meet up again, but he is unaware that this is the same woman he was enamoured with. But Sophie remembers. Unfortunately, since their initial meeting Sophie's social standing has drastically changed and now her social status may hinder the growing feelings between the pair.

Benedict is a good male lead (despite one instance where he was an obnoxiously overbearing and selfish arse) and Sophie's complicated family life made things interesting. It's fun to get a peek into the Bridgerton clan and Quinn offers up some characters you'll love to hate.

This was a fluffy, predictable, and utterly unrealistic romance, but that was why it was entertaining. Skillfully narrated by Rosalyn Landor, this light retelling of Cinderella has made me rethink giving up on this series when I'm in the mood for an easy-going, fluffy read.
