    About this audiobook

    #1 New York Times bestselling author Johanna Lindsey sweeps readers away on a seductive adventure with the "wickedly witty, lusciously sensual" (Booklist) Malory family when a detested marriage contract turns childhood enemies into passionate lovers.

    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.

    With a little help from the lucky-in-love Malory family, will Richard and Julia discover in each other that perfect someone?

      That Perfect Someone is the tenth installment in the Malory Series. For years I have just reading books involving the Malory family, and although this was far from my favorite one...it was still quite enjoyable and I am thrilled that I finally was able to read it ( I know I know I am way behind LOL) I found the story captivating and the characters so innocent and childish at times...there was a vulnerability throughout the story with Julia and Richard. I loved how the story turned from two strangers who meet in a ballroom and shared a heated kiss...to hated enemies...then back to sharing a commonality with one another...Desire, such a powerful motivator and Johanna Lindsey portrayed this story beautifully, and although didn't have the certain aspects that I enjoyed in the earlier Malory books...I was feeling quite entertained from beginning to end!!!

      Please someone tell me why I haven’t read a Johanna Lindsey novel I’m so long. I’m definitely going to binge-read/listen to her books.
      They were so immature that I rolled my eyes a lot but it did not take away from the beauty of the story. And the ironic ending, totally genius.... read to find out what the irony was. This book is definitely worth reading
    • 3/5
      The book is all right, but the sound quality of the audio is not.
    • 4/5
      This book was good. I liked revisting the Malory clan, and I thought the characters were good matches for each other.
    • 4/5
      Another long-lost Malory? Okay. So, Katey comes over from America to try to find her mother's family who disowned her mother for getting pregnant. Katey also wants to tour the world before settling down. She gets involved in the kidnapping of Judith Malory by trying to rescue Judith, but Boyd Anderson mistakes her for the kidnapper. To make it up to her and soothe her anger towards him he offers to take her on this world tour. Generally romance novels upon which the major conflict(s) are based on misunderstandings irritate me, but this is Johanna Lindsey, and these are the Malory/Andersons, so it's (mostly) forgiven.
    • 3/5
      Love Johanna Lindsey, love the Malory family series. All around satisfying book - could have used a little more tension in places.
    • 5/5
      Okay, I'm cheating here, and I don't like them all equally, but I do love the Mallory's. They're all funny. I especially liked "Love Only Once" (the first book), "Gentle Rogue" (my favorite), and "The Magic of You" (where the heroine chases the hero shamelessly).
