4.5/5; 5 stars; AI first read this book about 5 years ago and have always meant to re-read it, to see if it is as good as I remember. Since Mary Balogh finally published Angeline's story, I thought I'd read it plus her brothers' stories again. I am kind of 'off' historical romances these days but...

This book had me intrigued from the first chapter. I've many of the authors others books and quite enjoyed them and this book did not disappoint. While Jocelyn-Duke of Tresham-is a rake the tenderness he shows with Jane is heartwarming. The story has two wonderful side plots in addition to the main ...

I would say it's a little above average romance book. After reading too much romance a book needs to be really special to impress me.

I had read this book years ago and remember liking it quite a bit so i think I had originally given ti 4-stars. But in a re-read I am actually going to up this to a five-star. This is rare for me.

I read this as an unabridged audio so I'll more than likely spell some things incorrectly and may be fuzzy on some of the details.The hero, a fancy-pants duke, is injured during a duel when a young lady gives a shout out. She's held up because of the ridiculous duel and ends up getting fired from he...

This was a cute romance novel. Jane isn't a mistress but she soon becomes one, unless the Duke is willing to make an honest woman out of her. Ms. Balogh writes an easy to enjoy tale of a man being cared for by a strong woman. I recommend it to romantics.

Aside from wishing the hero was not named Jocelyn and recognizing very similar plot points to another book by the same author, I really enjoyed reading this book. It had some angst, sharp dialogue, limited secondary plots and characters, no big misunderstandings and compelling romantic tension.
