There are very few Mary Balogh's book that I don't like. I liked A Secret Affair as well.

Often time a series will bog down, or become overly repetitive. I am happy to say this is not the case with the Huxtable series. In this last book you finally get the answers to Con's mysterious life, and as it is the 5th book Balogh does an artful job of reminding you of past story lines that are pertanent without making you want to yell get on with it.

Con is in London for the season, and as he has in the past books he is supposed to take up with a beautiful widow for a no strings attached affair that will end with the season. The beautiful Duchess Dunbarton Hannah, has just come out of morning ready to enjoy her widowhood with a sizzeling affair. She knows who she wants, and what she wants, and Con is it.

Con is intrigued by the beautiful mysterious Duchess, but is she as shallow and arrogant as she seems? Does that even matter? Is Con as devilish and jaded as he seems? Is he as good in bed as she and everyone has been lead to believe? You'll have to read it to find out.
