Summary

All of London is abuzz over the imminent arrival of Wulfric Bedwyn, the reclusive, cold-as-ice Duke of Bewcastle, at the most glittering social event of the season. Some whisper of a tragic love affair. Others say he is so aloof and passionless that not even the greatest beauty could capture his attention. But on this dazzling afternoon, one woman did catch the duke's eye - and she was the only female in the room who wasn't even trying.

Christine Derrick is intrigued by the handsome duke...all the more so when he invites her to become his mistress. What red-blooded woman wouldn't enjoy a tumble in the bedsheets with a consummate lover - with no strings and no questions asked. An infuriating lady with very definite views on men, morals, and marriage, Christine confounds Wulfric at every turn. Yet even as the lone wolf of the Bedwyn clan vows to seduce her any way he can, something strange and wonderful is happening. Now for a man who thought he'd never lose his heart, nothing less than love will do.

Contains mature themes.

Critic reviews

"With this series, Balogh has created a wonderfully romantic world of Regency culture and society. Readers will miss the honorable Bedwyns and their mates; ending the series with Wulfric's story is icing on the cake. Highly recommended." ( Library Journal)

A masterpiece in plot and characters.

The narrator excelled herself, sweeping me along with the fast moving plot. The peak for me was the confrontation with Justin. Excellent.

Blue blood turns red in the open air

I was given this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
A good run of the mill romance that's interesting enough with its variables to keep the readers interest . Worth s read/listen if this is your genre .

The series ends on high.

This is one of the author's better series, though I can't say every book was a favourite. I will say they all had an compelling story and worked well singly, but better in order.
The Duke have seen all his siblings happily if not advantageously married. Finds he has time on his hands and a new chapter of his life to start. Both the heroine and hero are forced to reassess what they wanted from life. Also find out truths about themselves, neither character is diminish but grow to appreciate each other.
I hate it when you find a good series, then last book is a totally disappointment. Have no fear this is good to tha last page and the supporting characters remain solid.

Very enjoyable book

I really enjoyed this story and it's definitely a favourite out of all of the books in the series. It did weirdly remind me slightly of Pride and Prejudice which slightly put me off however it was still worth the listen.

The best of them all

I thoroughly enjoyed this instalment of the Bedwyn saga and I’m sad they’re all done
Hoping for a sequel depicting all the kids grown up

more modern twist on historical romance

Fantastic narrator and enjoyable story. I like the more modern twist of women who work, make meaningful contributions, and fall in love.

Very Fitting and Enjoyable!

A very fitting way for the series to conclude, with the Duke finally easing into his skin with the release of his family obligations. You see also the culmination of all of his astuteness in reading people and situations (and this time, for his shared benefit).

I enjoyed this tale, but not as much as the first 2. However, in my opinion, books 1, 2 & 6 are the best! The female characters were written much more credibly.

I haven’t read any of the intermittent novellas, but if there is one after this, I may do so. I shall also try more of Ms Balogh’s work.
