Simply Perfect

Simply Quartet Series, Book 4

By: Mary Balogh

Narrated by: Rosalyn Landor

Tall, dark, and exquisitely sensual, he is the epitome of male perfection. Not that Claudia Martin is looking for a lover. Or a husband. As owner and headmistress of Miss Martin's School for Girls in Bath, she long ago resigned herself to a life without love. Until Joseph, Marquess of Attingsborough, arrives unannounced and tempts her to toss away a lifetime of propriety for an affair that can only lead to ruin.

Joseph has his own reasons for seeking Claudia out. Instantly, irresistibly attracted to the dedicated teacher, he embarks on a plan of seduction that leaves them both yearning for more. But as heir to a prestigious dukedom, Joseph is expected to carry on his family's legacy. And Claudia knows she has no place in his world.

Now that world is about to be rocked by scandal. An arranged marriage, a secret that will shock the town, and a man from Claudia's past conspire to drive the lovers apart. But Joseph is determined to make Claudia his at any cost. Even if that means defying convention and breaking every rule for a love that is everything he has ever wanted - a love that is perfection itself.

Mary Balough and Rosalyn Landon a wonderful combination! I had to listen to this straight through just spell binding! You can not go wrong with this writer or narrator! Enjoy!

Made up for book 1.

Soooooo much better than the first 3 books of this series. The problems are real, the feelings weren't unreasonably denied, and the characters were believable!

Best of the series

This book was the best of the series. The story was very interesting and even more so because of the children and the life Rosalyn Landor's voice gives them.

Loved the story and the performance.

Another in a terrific series of books by this author. The story is lovely, and as always, Rosalyn Landor never disappoints.
