Against the seductive backdrop of Regency England, New York Times bestselling author May Balogh sweeps us into the sensual, enthralling world of four teachers at an elite academy for young ladies. As headmistress of Miss Martin's School for Girls in Bath, Claudia Martin 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, embarking on a plan of seduction that leaves them both yearning for more. But Claudia knows she has no place in Joseph's aristocratic world. And now that world is about to be rocked by scandal.An arranged marriage, a secret that will shock the ton, and a man from Claudia's past conspire to drive the lovers apart.

The long-awaited conclusion to Balogh's Regency-era romance series, focusing on the eccentric Bedwyn family, possesses the same charm and richness of character as her previous books (Slightly Tempted, etc.), but its plot is slightly more conventional.

It is true that in the past few years she has lost three of her teachers and closest friends to matrimony, but she still has a staff of whom she is both proud and fond. Love and marriage are dreams she has long pushed into non-existence as unattainable. Claudia Martin is not a brooder.

She is not someone to feel sorry for herself. She considers herself happy. She counts her blessings.

Joseph Fawcitt, Marquess of Attingsborough, is also 35 years old. He is handsome, charming, elegant, popular, wealthy--a man at the peak of his sexual appeal. For years he has been dedicated to one mistress, but now he knows that he must turn his attention to marrying well and producing a son and heir since one day he will be a duke. He and Claudia are about as unlike each other as they could possibly be. One would not expect that they would ever even meet each other, but they do--in the visitors' parlor of the school when Joseph calls to deliver a letter from a family connection, Susanna, Viscountess Whitleaf, who once taught at the school, and to offer to escort Claudia and two of her charity girls to London when he returns there himself. Claudia is prevailed upon to accept the offer, much as she would really rather not. And Joseph hires a horse, guessing that he will not particularly enjoy riding in the carriage with either Miss Martin herself or her pupils.

Why does this unlikely pair remain acquainted once the journey is at an end? How can they ever develop a respect for each other and even a friendship? And how, in the name of all that is wonderful, can they possibly fall in love and mean the world and the sun and moon and stars to each other? The book, of course, provides the answers to all those questions!

This is one of my personal favorites. I hope it will become one of yours too. Oh, and for all you Bedwyn junkies who can't get enough of them--the Bedwyns figure quite prominently in this book.

Claudia, you may remember, hates them like poison, especially Freyja (whose governess she once was) and Wulfric, Duke of Bewcastle (her former employer). Little does she realize that her secret benefactor is one of these two! Delacorte Hardcover, ISBN 978-0-385-33824-0 Mary Balogh once again dazzles readers with her exceptional regency romance.

Beautifully written, you cannot resist being drawn into the lives of these fascinating characters. I particularly love how the hero and heroine are strong, yet vulnerable.

The story keeps the reader truly entertained from beginning to end. They are not perfect, but real and flawed. Captivating romance sprinkled with sweet sensuality makes for an enjoyably rewarding read. Simply Perfect is simply enchanting.
