When the Duke of Lexington meets the mysterious Baroness von Seidlitz-Hardenberg on a transatlantic liner, he is fascinated.

And then she disappears without a trace.… For in reality, the "baroness" is Venetia Easterbrook - a proper young widow who had her own vengeful reasons for instigating an affair with the duke. But the plan has backfired. Venetia has fallen in love with the man she despised - and there’s no telling what might happen when she is finally unmasked….

Plot

The plot & characters are always well thought out and well done. I love reading these stories

Passion

Such richly explained passions from beginning to end, so easily felt. Beautifully read, described and thoroughly enjoyed!!!! Thank you.

Sherry Thomas is the best!

Would you listen to Beguiling the Beauty again? Why?

One of my favorite romance writers! Her characters are always three dimensional and her plots are riveting. You really like these people! This is the first in the Fitzhugh series. My favorite is the story of Hastings and Helena. Great book!

Sexy, Romantic and Well-Written

I loved this story. It was so well-written with wonderful dialogue, interesting plot and delightfully charming characters. My absolutely favorite part is the shipboard romance between the Duke of Lexington and Venetia Easterbrook disguised as a German Baroness. Venetia was hoping to revenge herself upon the Duke for remarks he made about her at a lecture she attended, but instead she falls in love. And the fact that she's in disguise makes this otherwise reserved and "dukely" duke open up his heart to her. It's a blistering and lovely affair, but Venetia has to deal with the consequences when she returns to England and must appear undisguised and as herself. Definitely one of my favorite listens,

Regency Romance + Steam

This book follows the usual intrigue and tension of will they/won't they, sandwiched between sex sessions between the two main (insatiable) characters. All of it is fairly well written, so if this is your cup of tea, I recommend it. If you're looking for the typical Regency Romance genre (sans explicit sexual content), move on.

A very good book, but...

Would you consider the audio edition of Beguiling the Beauty to be better than the print version?

I actually liked the audio version better than the print version

Any additional comments?

I liked the book and the audio up to the last chapter. The way Sherry Thomas finished the book felt abrupt and somewhat unbelievable. I would say this is an excellent the book except for the last book. This is however a great lead-in to the next two books in the series.

The characters are round. The story is great and t

The romance is beautiful. There's harmony between the development of the characters and the "crescendo" of the story. These book is worthy to read (or listening).

I didn't like it

This is my first book by Sherry Thomas. It is oddly written. I did not like the book at all.

Great from beginning to end…

Loved the twists and turns. Proof of the fine line between love and hate. Can’t wait til the next book.

Omg! So beautiful!!

I couldn’t put this one down! Such a great story! So beautifully told! I’m already swept up in this universe and can’t wait for the next story in the series!
