Publisher's summary
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.

An arrogant duke does the unthinkable - he falls in love with his mistress.... She raced onto the green, desperate to stop a duel. In the mêlée, Jocelyn Dudley, Duke of Tresham, was shot. To his astonishment, Tresham found himself hiring the servant as his nurse. Jane Ingleby was far too bold for her own good. Her blue eyes were the sort a man could drown in - were it not for her impudence. She questioned his every move, breached his secrets, touched his soul. When he offered to set her up in his London town house, love was the last thing on his mind.

It is her first London season, and Lady Louisa Hargreaves could not be more pleased. She has attracted the attention of the earl of Kerridge, and the two are on the cusp of an official betrothal. That is, until she learns of a generations-old family debt: Her grandfather gambled her hand in marriage and lost, and now, Louisa must pay the price. She will marry not the earl but a man she just met who has taken her freedom in one fell swoop. Even as she struggles to understand the handsome and aloof man she is to wed, Louisa is irresistibly drawn to him - and he to her.

As a child, Devlin Ware thought his family stood for all that was right and good in the world. They were kind, gracious, and shared the beauty of Ravenwood, their grand country estate, by hosting lavish parties for the entire countryside. But at 22, he discovered his whole world was an elaborate illusion, and when Devlin publicly called his family to account for it, he was exiled as a traitor. So be it. He enlisted in the fight against Napoleon and didn't look back for six years. But now his father is dead, the Ware family is broken, and as the heir he is being called home.

Story
Beatrice Poole may be a vicar's daughter, but that doesn't mean she's a stranger to the darker passions. Indeed, she knows enough about gothic terrors to have carved out a highly successful career penning "horrid novels." But now the talented authoress finds herself in the midst of an ominous adventure that rivals anything she's ever written.Her beloved Uncle Reggie is dead, Beatrice suspects that he was murdered - all because of his keen interest in a fabled treasure that may not even exist. Rumors abound that the Forbidden Rings of Aphrodite, said to give their possessor the most unnatural powers, have surfaced in London. Yet Beatrice needs more than rumors to uncover the truth. That's why she's braved the wilds of Devon to seek out a leading authority on antiquities and ancient legends: The famously eccentric, unquestionably reclusive, possibly dangerous Earl of Monkcrest, a man believed to dabble in the supernatural.But bearding the Mad Monk of Monkcrest in his den and dangling the possibility of uncovering a fabulous artifact before him may be the biggest mistake of Beatrice's life. For suddenly, she finds herself joined in an uneasy alliance with a man who is every bit as fascinating as one of the heroes in her novels.

Flawed But Loved It
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

Loved this 4th book
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.

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!

Best of the series
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.

Just great read/listen
Mary Balogh creates another beautiful HEA full of challenges and laughter and intelligence and richness of characters with this 4th in the Simply Quartet series. Nobleman Joseph runs surprisingly headlong into love with the vibrant and strict school mistress Claudia. Adding to my listening pleasure are many personalities from previous books with the Bedwyns making a few "walk-ins" along the way. Of course, Rosalyn Landor as the narrator continues with her sterling performance of all the characters. Simply wonderful.
