This was a very well-written, slow-burning romance story with wonderful characters. The book has a decent mystery, a bit of drama, mild love scenes, great secondary characters and a nice ending.

Miss Diana Kendricks was stuck at the girls' school she goes to. Most of the other girls are going home for the holidays. Miss Jenny Clifton was also staying. She was not in a hurry to marry even though she was eighteen. Her parents no longer lived together, and she had no interest in a horrible marriage like her parents.

James, the Marquess of Barrington, was a good-looking man and he loved the gift of illusion and magic. He was kind and very giving. He had been making illusions since he was a small boy. His father is dead, and his mom lives in London.

It is an exciting tale of very mean men and silent suffering women. There are always a few good eggs
and he was one. Diana and James teased each other and could talk on the same level. I found the novel enjoyable and am glad I had the chance to read it.

I received this ARC from Net Galley and voluntarily reviewed it.

Lord James Barrington likes illusions and his family nicknamed him the Marques of Magic and it stuck. Being the ultimate friend he has stuck out his neck fora friend in need. Only its a secret that mustn't get out.
Miss Diana Kendricks has a disillusioned view on marriage from her parents and wishes not to ever be married. However her father sends an associate her way to woo.
This is a continuation of a series I have truely been enjoying. You don't need to read previous books to enjoy this one. Although you might want because this book is so enjoyable. Engaging and enthralling happily ever afters is what you will find. The head Mistress will stop at nothing to see her favorite students happy. Which can be rather suspenseful at times and rather unique.
I recieved a free copy so that I might tell you what I honestly thinks. Hope you enjoyed my review. Now go enjoy the book

This is the third book in a series which I have read all three.
In this mesmerizing Regency romance by Jennifer Monroe, a mysterious marquess and a misunderstood beauty need to realize that when love and magic mingle with desire, the results can be extraordinary…
Spellbound by a glamorous man…
Miss Diana Kendricks is the rarest of young women: She is actually looking forward to becoming a lifelong spinster!
Disillusioned by what she has seen of married life, she eagerly awaits the day when she is considered securely "on the shelf." However, Diana fails to take into account the most treacherous twist—her own traitorous heart, which finds itself skipping a beat when she meets Lord James Barrington, mysteriously labeled as the Marquess of Magic.
Love is the greatest enchantment of all…
Lord Barrington has always loved magic. Since childhood, he has found it thrilling to perform illusions and conjurations, to shock an audience, and leave them breathless. But in ordinary life, no magic can vanish away the dangerous secret he hides. James should not even be considering marriage. But when he chances upon Diana, she seems like his perfect match—beautiful, witty, with similar interests to his own. He cannot risk losing her to another suitor, and soon James has hopelessly ensnared both their hearts.
James and Diana are meant to be together. They have an affinity for magic and perform quite a ilk
illusion.
Jennifer Monroe has written another good book.
