Mary Balogh has finished another series, and in typical Michelle fashion I read the last book first. Sigh. I need to learn to get this series thing correct.
Balogh’s book Simply Perfect is just what one would expect from a historical romance. It is a bit of a reach. When Claudia Martin was 17 her heart was broken by her childhood love. Instead of settling for second best, she throws herself into her work and builds a school designed to teach young girls all the things they need to know to be successful in the ton society.
Perfectly content with her life, Claudia has no dreams of ever finding love again, that is until she meets Joseph, the Marquess of Attingsborough. In typical romantic history style, Claudia is determined to not fall for him to maintain her independence and lead a life far away from the high society of England.
Similarly, Joseph is betrothed to a woman he will never love and possibly never like. Doomed to a life of unhappiness, he falls for the lovely Miss Martin a women far outside his social circle.
