Claudia Martin long ago realized that her school for girls would probably be the focus of her life. Things change when Joseph, Marquess of Attingsborough considers sending his illegitimate daughter to Claudia’s school. They are drawn to each other and it doesn’t take long for love to grow between them. Joseph is engaged to marry, an arrangement worked out by his father and one he agreed to before he came to love Claudia. Now, he’s faced with marriage to a woman he is beginning to realize he doesn’t like and will probably never love. But sometimes fate steps in to keep two soul mates together.

I love Mary Balogh’s regency romances. She never skimps on the emotions. Neither Claudia nor Joseph are perfect characters but they fit together and that keeps the reader on edge waiting for the moment when they get the ending they deserve. Definitely a book for lovers of regency, Simply Perfect is perfect for those looking for a great “feel good” book.
