Publisher's summary
When the Duke of Lexington meets the mysterious Baroness von Seidlitz-Hardenberg on a transatlantic liner, he is fascinated. She’s exactly what he’s been searching for - a beautiful woman who interests and entices him. He falls hard and fast - and soon proposes marriage. And then she disappears without a trace.… For in reality, the "baroness" is Venetia Easterbrook - a proper young widow who had her own vengeful reasons for instigating an affair with the duke. But the plan has backfired. Venetia has fallen in love with the man she despised - and there’s no telling what might happen when she is finally unmasked….

Unable to see his nephew, he is willing to do anything to improve his reputation, even if that means spending time with the most proper man in London.

Regency Romance + Steam
This book follows the usual intrigue and tension of will they/won't they, sandwiched between sex sessions between the two main (insatiable) characters. All of it is fairly well written, so if this is your cup of tea, I recommend it. If you're looking for the typical Regency Romance genre (sans explicit sexual content), move on.

Would you listen to Beguiling the Beauty again? Why?
One of my favorite romance writers! Her characters are always three dimensional and her plots are riveting. You really like these people! This is the first in the Fitzhugh series. My favorite is the story of Hastings and Helena. Great book!

Sexy, Romantic and Well-Written
I loved this story. It was so well-written with wonderful dialogue, interesting plot and delightfully charming characters. My absolutely favorite part is the shipboard romance between the Duke of Lexington and Venetia Easterbrook disguised as a German Baroness. Venetia was hoping to revenge herself upon the Duke for remarks he made about her at a lecture she attended, but instead she falls in love. And the fact that she's in disguise makes this otherwise reserved and "dukely" duke open up his heart to her. It's a blistering and lovely affair, but Venetia has to deal with the consequences when she returns to England and must appear undisguised and as herself. Definitely one of my favorite listens,

A very good book, but...
Would you consider the audio edition of Beguiling the Beauty to be better than the print version?
I actually liked the audio version better than the print version
Any additional comments?
I liked the book and the audio up to the last chapter. The way Sherry Thomas finished the book felt abrupt and somewhat unbelievable. I would say this is an excellent the book except for the last book. This is however a great lead-in to the next two books in the series.

Nice story
Setting: England, Massachusetts, at sea 1886 (prologue), 1896
Genre: Romance
Christian de Montfort, the Duke of Lexington fell in love with Venetia Fitzhugh Townsend as a young man when he spied her at the annual Eaton and Harrow cricket match. Her beauty stunned him and he was disappointed to learn that she was married. But the heart wants what the heart wants, and she became his secret fantasy for years, even after she was widowed, remarried, and widowed again. He was disgusted with himself that he just could not give up his fantasy woman, even 10 years after his first glimpse of her. While giving a lecture in Cambridge, Massachusetts Christian is asked about the the evolutionary purpose of beauty. In his answer he says that beauty may be harmful in the long run and, without naming her, he describes Venetia as being untrustworthy, a woman who drove her first husband to suicide and was unfaithful to her second. Venetia was in the audience and decides she will get revenge. Therefore, on the crossing from the US back to England, she begins an affair with him, disguised as the Baroness von Seidlitz-Hardenberg. Her plan is to make him fall in love, then break his heart. But the thing is, her heart is vulnerable too...
I was torn between 3 and 4 stars. I enjoyed it overall, but I had a problem with the structure. The premise of the novel is good, and the basic plot is interesting. However, the story was muddied by the inclusion of points of view and elements from the other stories in the trilogy. Details of Millie’s unconsummated marriage of convenience and Helena’s unacceptable love interest did not need to take up so time in Venetia’s love story. A few hints would have been appropriate, but these amounted to two cliff-hangery subplots, including changes in the point of view, and added nothing to the main story.
I found the narration by Jenny Sterlin to be quite good. I had no problem following, despite the problems in the structure of the book.
