Tall, dark, and exquisitely sensual, he is the epitome of male perfection. Not that Claudia Martin is looking for a lover. Or a husband. As owner and headmistress of Miss Martin's School for Girls in Bath, she long ago resigned herself to a life without love. Until Joseph, Marquess of Attingsborough, arrives unannounced and tempts her to toss away a lifetime of propriety for an affair that can only lead to ruin.

Joseph has his own reasons for seeking Claudia out. Instantly, irresistibly attracted to the dedicated teacher, he embarks on a plan of seduction that leaves them both yearning for more. But as heir to a prestigious dukedom, Joseph is expected to carry on his family's legacy. And Claudia knows she has no place in his world.

Now that world is about to be rocked by scandal. An arranged marriage, a secret that will shock the town, and a man from Claudia's past conspire to drive the lovers apart. But Joseph is determined to make Claudia his at any cost. Even if that means defying convention and breaking every rule for a love that is everything he has ever wanted - a love that is perfection itself.

I have a weakness for Mary Balogh and am willing to overlook some major eyerolls when I read her stuff. i don't care. The overall romance is still heartfelt and heartwarming so worth it.

This book has a lot of eyerolls and some embarassingly bad writing at times but I still devoured it. I loved the H and h even though they had ZERO sexual chemistry lol. They had love chemistry. I had to just FF through the horridly awkward sex scenes they were just absolutely ridiculous.

The villianous Portia is so over the top evil she just becomes silly. Major eyerolls. Her comments are where ridiculously bad writing comes in.

Still, I really enjoyed this book. Loved seeing the rest of the Bedwyns and loved the character of Lizzy. Its cheesy at times, saccharine sweet at times, but I still loved it

I love a mature character romance. It was a little difficult to feel the physical chemistry between the two characters, but their emotional connection was wonderful.

Loved this 4th book

Soooooo much better than the first 3 books of this series. The problems are real, the feelings weren't unreasonably denied, and the characters were believable!

Made up for book 1.

This book was the best of the series. The story was very interesting and even more so because of the children and the life Rosalyn Landor's voice gives them.
