That Perfect Someone by Johanna Lindsey

I have loved the Malory family since I first read George and James story, many years ago. This book did not disappoint me at all, the Malory’s and the Anderson’s are present and in fine form. The main character’s Richard and Julia are likable and believable.  They also show that you really need to look at the other persons side of things and where they are coming from.  Richard and Julia are betrothed as young children, and neither one of them wants to marry the other person due to behaviors they both exhibited as children.  But when you look at the situations they were in as kids you can understand better why they behaved so bad.  This really is a great book and I highly recommend it.

Synopsis

Nine years ago, Richard Allen fled England and his controlling father. Determined to live his own life, he took to the sea and settled in the Caribbean, joining a band of treasure-hunting pirates and adopting the persona of a carefree, seductive Frenchman named Jean Paul to guard the secrets of his past. When he slips back into England to carry out an urgent task, Richard becomes infatuated with a married woman, Georgina Malory. But his reckless attempt to woo Georgina at a masked ball turns out to be the worst mistake of his life because it brings him face-to-face with another beautiful woman.

Thrilled that her solicitors have finally come up with a way to free her from her betrothal contract to the Earl of Manford’s son who abandoned her years ago, heiress Julia Miller is ready for the marriage mart and hopes to find that perfect someone at her friend Georgina’s ball. Charmed by a masked Frenchman who gives her her first kiss, she can’t help but pursue this mysterious man — until she makes a shocking discovery. Now, to avoid falling into a ruthless nobleman’s trap, Julia must enter a risky, intimate charade with a man she never believed she could love.

This is a review of a book that I checked out of my library, the review is solely based on my own feelings.
