Circumstances bring them back together two years later when he rescues her from being raped at a party. The ball provides the magic moment when Sophie meets Benedict Bridgerton, a mere mister but still a wealthy and eligible bachelor. So Sophie becomes the slave of the house until a masquerade ball becomes the catalyst for her to be tossed out of the home. When the earl dies, his will stipulates that Araminta gets thrice the amount of money if she shelters Sophie than she would if she turns Sophie out. She knows it, and she lives in his home as his “ward.” He marries the wicked stepmother, Araminta, who comes with two daughters, Rosamunde and Posy. Sophie Beckett is the bastard daughter of the Earl of Penwood. An Offer From a Gentleman definitely takes its inspiration from Cinderella. I’ve said it before: I’m a sucker for Cinderella stories. To celebrate the arrival of Netflix’s Bridgerton, AAR is running, in reading order, our reviews of the original nine books in the series.
