Book Description:
In her most captivating novel to date, Mary Balogh, the premier writer of Regency romance, invites you into a world of scandal and seduction, of glittering high society and intrigue, as 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 melee, 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....
Jane tried to pretend it was strictly business, an arrangement she was forced to accept in order to conceal a dangerous secret. Surely there was nothing more perilous than being the lover of such a man. Yet as she got past his devilish facade and saw the noble heart within, she knew the greatest jeopardy of all, a passion that drove her to risk everything on one perfect month with the improper gentleman who thought love was for fools.

I love Mary Balogh's books. This book is one of the very few Regency romances that I've read more than once. The characters are likable and the writing style is enjoyable.

Another book that really tells a great story. Her characters feel real, and the book doesn't overwhelm the reader with historical trivia.

I know a lot of people really love this author, but this book didn't work for me. Could not warm up to the male protagonist at all, and that quizzing glass really annoyed me for some reason.

I could barely put this one down and I actually teared up at one part. I would have enjoyed a more detailed ending and an epilogue though.

Dawn T. (This is the first book I have read by Mary Balogh and I will definitely be looking for more from her. Wonderfully written story. If you liked this book be sure to check out "No Man's Mistress" which is Ferdinand's story.
A really good book! Love her character development for they become someone you know.
