A night she'll never forget.

Miss Lucy Lancester has loved her brother's best friend, Roman Alexander, for as long as she can remember. So devotedly, she's vowed never to marry anyone else. But her beloved libertine is hardly aware of her existence, and not the least deserving of her affection. Deciding her cause is lost, she makes plans to open a girls' school in Bath. There's just one thing she needs to do before she confirms her spinsterhood forever: spend one blissful night in Roman's arms. But her handsome rogue isn't ready to have the tables turned. It will take more than a coquettish smile to turn his head. She must play a game of persuasion.

A game of Persuasion

this book shows a women who fights the status-quo of marriage. She wants to open a school for young ladies rather then marry. The problem is in a time when young ladies have no rights without a man to help. If you like Regecy books then this is one you should read.

Well written and well performed

The story had a well developed female lead. I didn't feel that we had the backstory needed to say the same for the male lead. I assume this is because it was written as an extended prologue and not a stand alone book. Marion Hussey 's performance is outstanding. She voices the various characters distinctly and consistently. Her emotional range reflects that of the characters throughout the story. Both writing and performance did the job of making me want to hear the rest of the story.
