Book Description:
When the rake-hell Lord Jack Tremont kissed Miranda Mabberly, mistaking her for his mistress, neither realized his reckless act would cost Miranda her reputation, her fiancé, and her future. But for Jack, it was a kiss that would haunt him--an intoxicating memory of a woman lost to him forever.

Years later, hiding incognito far from London -- a teacher at Miss Emery's Establishment for the Education of Genteel Ladies -- Miranda has made a respectable life for herself, away from the ton and the dangerous men who inhabit it. When a penniless, much humbled, though still damnably attractive Jack arrives at the school to escort a rebellious young niece home, Miranda does her best to avoid the rogue only to end up tumbling into his arms -- and reawakening a desire that is anything but proper.

She might want to deny her heart, but Miranda's resolve is no match for a trio of schoolgirl matchmakers who knows true passion when they spy it. Now they won't rest until their all-too-proper teacher and the reprobate lord discover the love that is their destiny.

Elizabeth Boyle is one of my favorite authors, but unfortunately this wasn't one of her great books. It moved way too slowly. If you are a fan of Elizabeth Boyle, like I am, you probably won't want to miss it. I just can't give it my whole-hearted recommendation.

Liked the romance, wasn't interested in the intrigue/mystery.

Boyle is my latest favorite author. This is a good Regency period romance.

Sweet story involving a reformed rake, a ruined society girl turned deportment teacher, and three matchmaking schoolgirls. Always nice to find a regency that doesn't take place in London so points for that, but I'm taking away a star for getting the actual romance going so late in the book! (Less intrigue! More sex!)

Just loved the secondary character, I would love to follow the adventures of Pippin, Felicity, and the Duchess.

Scandal, outrage, ruin, rapture...Who knows where one kiss can lead?

Excellent read! Ms. Boyle's 1st book "Something About Emmaline" was 'eh! So, so." This was a complete 180 for me! Fun, interesting, and kept me reading from start to finish! A 1-nighter! =)
