School for Heiresses Series; Never Seduce a Scoundrel (The School for Heiresses) (book 1), Only a Duke Will Do (The School for Heiresses) (book 2), Beware a Scot's Revenge (The School for Heiresses) (book 3) , Let Sleeping Rogues Lie (The School for Heiresses) (book 4), Don't Bargain with the Devil (The School for Heiresses) (book 5) and final book Wed Him Before You Bed Him (The School for Heiresses).

Sabrina Jeffries is one of my all time favorite authors. This one had a rather interesting mystery which became even more intriguing as new details emerged. There was even a "Deep Throat" type scene with Cousin Michael!

I ran right out and bought DON'T BARGAIN WITH THE DEVIL as soon as it hit the shelves and I was not disappointed. The School for Heiress' series has been so enjoyable and this most recent addition doesn't disappoint. Sabrina Jeffries is brilliant as always! I can hardly wait for the next book.

Shockingly they include a Vauxhall-like pleasure garden!

A devilishly dashing and simply swoon-worthy Spanish hero make book five in The School for Heiresses series an absolute keeper! Diego Javier Montalvo (now doesn't that name just roll off your tongue?) is the perfect passionate hero whose driven by conflicting emotions -one towards his family and one towards Lucy. I loved how he struggled with his self worth and deep desire to have the one woman unattainable to him. Lucy, on the other hand, has to deal with all this new information, and possibly sinister developments, about her birth and later adoption. A delightful romance sure to please any historical romance reader looking for adventure, passion and a bit of magic. Besides who can resist a hero who looks are modeled after Rodrigo Santoro?
