Sophie is a bastard and is raised as a maid for her evil stepmother, but she doesn’t get paid for any of it. One night, Lady Bridgerton hosts a masquerade ball and the Penwoods attend. The servants get together and get Sophie ready for the masquerade. She goes to the masquerade and meets Benedict Bridgerton, who is the second Bridgerton. Benedict falls in love with Sophie-the lady in silver. Benedict never finds out Sophie’s name and thinks about her for a long time. Two years later they meet again, but this time it’s Benedict saving Sophie from some horrible men and offer her a job as a maid for her mother. Will sparks fly for both? Will he forget the lady in silver?
I liked that this had a Cinderella aspect with the evil stepmother and the hidden identity. I liked the romance between Sophie and Benedict. I do not like how Benedict would act at times and what he wanted from Sophie. Overall I liked it, but it may not be a favorite of mine out of the series.
