A Secret Affair by Mary Balogh

You've all heard the story. Girl from meager means (Hannah) snags one of the richest men in the country who just happens to be really, really old. When he finally dies Hannah is now the Duchess of Dumbarton and she is very wealthy and has a reputation for taking lovers and being an ice princess. What no one knows is that this time, the rumors are true-she is going to take a lover and she's set on Constantine Huxtable. Will he be up to the challenge or dismiss her ridiculous power plays?

This is #5 in the Huxtable series but it easily stands on its own. Engaging characters, quick pace and situations that are far fetched in this day and age but focus on the core kindness of humanity. A nice introductory author into historical romance. Very tame on the sexual content. 2010, 352 pages.

  1. Tame, huh? The one of hers I read was like that up until the last quarter of the book. After that, not so much. Hee hee.
