Praise for Miss Hillary Schools a Scoundrel: "Clever and charming, with everything Regency fans love."—Publishers Weekly Starred Review The Naked Truth Lady Vivian Worth knows perfectly well how to behave like a lady. But observing proper manners when there's no one around to impress is just silly. Why shouldn't she strip down to her chemise for a swim? When her betrothed arrives to finally meet her, Vivi will act every inch the lady—demure, polite, compliant. Everything her brother has promised the man. But until then, she's going to enjoy her freedom... A Revealing Discovery Luke Forest, the newly named Duke of Foxhaven, wants nothing to do with his inheritance—or the bride that comes with it. He wants adventure and excitement, like the enchanting water nymph he's just stumbled across. When he discovers the skinny-dipping minx is his intended, he reconsiders his plan to find Lady Vivian another husband. Because the idea of this vivacious woman in the arms of another man might be enough to drive him insane—or to the altar.

It truly can be read as a stand alone. Now, I want to go back and read the first three, especially Andrew and Lana's story!...
This was such a fun, charming, easy read! Vivian and Luke were just so perfectly suited for each other and I loved seeing them fall for each other. Luke had initially decided to help Vivian find another husband but he quickly realizes how perfect she is for him and finds it hard to believe his fath...
