Gayle Callen
Who is this man?The Duke of Thanet may have hired her as a governess to his six-year-old son, but there is something . . . different about the devilish rogue standing before her today. He seems to study her with an intensity she never noticed before, and he is certainly more charming than the last time they encountered each other. Was there always an alluring glint in his dark eyes? But the duke has a notoriously scandalous reputation, and Meriel will not let herself succumb.Masquerading as the duke was not the simple solution Richard O'Neill had envisioned. When his ailing half-brother, the real duke, asked him to protect his young heir from a greedy enemy, Richard agreed. But he never thought he'd be attracted to the inquisitive governess, or that each moment in her intoxicating presence would tempt him beyond all reason. And letting down his guard could prove dangerous . . . especially to Richard's own heart.

"I'd give this story 3.5/4 stars. I actually liked it a lot more than the first book in this series. I did like how he wasn't able to fool everyone - which is much more believable. I liked that Meriel is smart and the way she solves their problems at the end was well done. <br/><br/>I have a little bit of an issue with the premarital sex (not hung up on it, but just feel for the time period it isn't really believable, especially when they do not have any kind of understanding of what their relationship is). But I do understand in a way that she was already accused of being his mistress so why not do the deed? (Except of course if she gets pregnant, then what?)<br/><br/>My big issue was the ending. I felt it kind of ended abruptly. I don't have to have everything neatly tied up and I'm not always a fan of epilogues, but this book might have benefited from one - even just a few pages. <br/><br/>I'm looking forward to the next one in the series."
