Don your masques and formal wear, folks, it’s time for some fairy tale romance! Julia Quinn’s An Offer from a Gentleman is a romantic Cinderella story and a great way to start the Bridgerton series if you’re new to the romance genre or to Regency romance. Lydia and Tay meander through discussions of characters, privilege, and family. Book 3 is near and dear to our hearts, mainly because of Sophie, but also because we get more of the Bridgerton ladies!
Who’s your favorite character from the first three books? Tell us who & why on our social media and we’ll discuss your responses in our upcoming episode on Romancing Mr. Bridgerton.
