It's Christmas time, and Frances is headed back to the school when she's caught in a snow storm. Whatever the reason I was not able to buy into a respectable teacher - Frances Allard, hopping into bed with a perfect stranger, Lucas Marshall, Viscount Sinclair. Maybe the problem was my mood, or maybe it was that I had just finished reading a ton of Ms. Balogh's one-night stands are a better quality than most authors, but not this one. We start with Simply Unforgettable, and we have a one-night stand told in Ms. Martin's School for Girls, and eventually Ms. Well, this series is about three of the teachers at Ms. Martin left, founded a school and hated alllll aristocrats. If you remember Freya Bedwyn, you should remember her governess Ms. These stories are actually connected to the Slightly, aka Bedwyn series. Let's look at the four stories which comprise the Simply series.

While the Simply series may not quite qualify as annus horribilis, this series certainly didn't have the spark as the previous Bedwyn series - as much as I wanted differently, I could not immerse myself into any of the stories. But as I often say, Queens sometime have annus horribilis times. Yet Joseph is determined to make Claudia his at any cost.We all know that Mary Balogh is the Queen.

But as heir to a prestigious dukedom, the Marquess of Attingsborough is expected to carry on his family s legacy, not dishonour it. Irresistibly attracted to Claudia, Joseph embarks on an outrageous plan of seduction. As headmistress of Miss Martin s School for Girls, she long ago resigned herself to a life of spinsterhood - until now. Not that Claudia Martin is looking for a lover. Tall, dark, and exquisitely sensual, Joseph Fawcitt is the epitome of male perfection. But as heir to a prestigious dukedom, the Marquess of Attingsborough is expected to carry on his family s legacy, not disho.
