…on the premise of Mary Balogh’s newest book. Totally hooked. I have to read it just to see how she pulled it off. The first time I picked up a book where the hero was already married, I was totally eager to read it, but I haven’t read it yet. The comments on Amazon about the lack of sex turned me off. However, I’m definitely picking up Mary’s. 
Love the prostitute angle, too. Just the whole thing sounds fabulously impossible.
The first encounter between Fleur Hamilton and the Duke of Ridgeway outside the Drury Lane Theater one night is ugly, even sordid. She is a prostitute, he her first client. When they meet again, she is in his own home as governess to his daughter. His wife, the duchess, lives there too. That love should grow between Fleur and the duke seems improbable. That such a love can find a happy future seems quite impossible. And yet both happen…
Oh, my. That blurb and the review sounds like a wonderful book.

lol. The review doesn’t give any spoilers. promise. It’s really a broad ‘overview’ of the plot. Mary did an all day workshop with my RWA chapter a couple of weeks ago, and it was just wonderful.

Oh man… now I’m really dying. I started reading the review and then stopped, worried that it would give too much away. :bounce: Argh!! It’s killing me.

This book is actually a re-release of an older book. And a favorite MB for many. AAR’s review of it is here: http://www.likesbooks.com/cgi-bin/bookReview.pl?BookReviewId=1977
