While there, Susanna meets Peter, a very kind and humorous viscount who decides he wants to be her friend. She’s invited to spend two weeks with her friend, a former teacher who is now a singing star with a titled husband (see: Simply Unforgettable).
The story here is between Susanna, an orphan who’s a charity-student-turned-teacher (think Jane Eyre at Lowood).
But, well…if you do it well, why fix it? Granted, this Simply series is far from the author’s best. At this point I wonder if I’m starting to sound like a broken record, since nearly all of Balogh’s romances fall neatly into the “mature and understated” category. Simply Magic is easy-going and honest, a story of two grown-ups figuring out both themselves and each other. This is another quiet, comfortable romance from Mary Balogh. And as he moves closer to the truth, Peter is certain of one thing: he will defy the mysteries of her past for a future with this exquisite creature-all Susanna must do is trust him with the most precious secret of all. Now more determined than ever to keep her by his side, Peter begins to suspect that a tragic history still haunts Susanna. until a sensual game of thrust-and-parry culminates in a glorious afternoon of passion. But the more he pursues, the more Susanna withdraws. and to the secrets she guards so desperately.įrom the moment they meet, Peter is drawn to Susanna’s independence, dazzled by her sharp wit-he simply must have her. Instantly she knows: this brash nobleman poses a threat to her heart. With his knowing smile and seductive gaze, Peter acts the rake but he stirs something in Susanna she has never felt before, a yearning that both frightens and dazzles her.
Peter Edgeworth, Viscount Whitleaf, is utterly charming-and seemingly unaware that they have met before. and instantly feels the icy chill of recognition. On a splendid August afternoon Susanna Osbourne is introduced to the most handsome man she has ever seen.
