Benedict Bridgetron is falling in love next season
The Duke and I was my first read, and while it didn’t completely win me over, I enjoyed it enough to continue.
After falling in love with the series, I devoured The Viscount Who Loved Me and instantly became a fan of Anthony Bridgerton.
I quickly moved on to the rest of the books, starting with Benedict’s story.
While the show portrayed him as sexually ambiguous, the book made it clear that he is very much into women.
He might not be the most memorable Bridgerton sibling, but I was excited to dive into his Cinderella romance!
Wondering what lies ahead for Benedict and Sophie in their love story? I’ll reveal all the details from the book, but beware of spoilers ahead!
The Bridgertons
Introducing Sophie Beckett
Sophie Beckett, the main character in this book, is actually the illegitimate daughter of the Earl of Penwood.
She knows her background well, and the Earl becomes her “ward.” Things take a bad turn when the Earl marries a wicked stepmother named Araminta, who has two awful daughters.
When the Earl dies, his will has a catch: Araminta will get more money only if she lets Sophie stay until she turns 20.
So, Sophie is stuck living like a Cinderella, serving her stepfamily. But one night, she sneaks into Lady Bridgerton’s fancy masquerade ball.
There, in disguise, she meets Benedict Bridgerton, and they hit it off right away. But, of course, things are never simple…
Benedict and Sophie’s Story
Sophie Beckett couldn’t believe she managed to crash Lady Bridgerton’s epic masquerade ball and find her own “Prince Charming” there!
Despite being an earl’s daughter, she’s treated like a servant by her mean stepmom. But dancing with the charming Benedict Bridgerton makes her feel like a queen.
Sadly, she knows the magic will fade at midnight…
Benedict and Sophie had only a brief few hours together before they went their separate ways for two years.
Violet Bridgerton and her son Benedict
However, they both felt deep down that they had found their soul mate by the end of that enchanting night.
When they reunite two years later, Benedict finds himself torn between his love for Sophie and his feelings for the Lady in Silver, not realizing they are one and the same.
Sophie is torn between her feelings for Benedict and the reality of her social status.
She longs to be a part of the Bridgerton family, but she understands that it’s not possible for her to be anything more than Benedict’s mistress.
I won’t give away any more of the book, I believe I’ve caused sufficient intrigue already.
Plus, the show tends to include extra interesting details rather than sticking strictly to the book, so get ready for some surprises!
