An Offer From a Gentleman by Julia QuinnMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
If we had half stars, I'd probably give this one at least 4.5. Have to think about it more to see if I up it any more than that.
This is the fourth book I've read by Quinn, and the first that involved someone outside the norm - a love interest found among the servant class (though there is a story there). Oh, and a bit of Cinderella retelling stripped of the magic parts.
Quite neat in its way. Also neat to actually see some more of the family members start to show up and let their specific characters shine a little bit. Like Eloise, Fran... um, whatever the F's name is; and of course Benedict shined the most of the 'less known members' since he was one of the two main characters in the book. Colin, Anthony, Daphne, Hyancinth(sp?) and Violet also showed up - while Gregory was off at Eton.
