Synopsis

"This is Mary Balogh at her riveting best."—#1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber
 
Gwendoline, Lady Muir, has seen her share of tragedy. Content in a quiet life with friends and family, the young widow has no desire to marry again. But when Hugo, Lord Trentham, scoops her up in his arms after a fall, she feels a sensation that both shocks and emboldens her. Hugo is a gentleman in name only: a war hero whose bravery earned him a title, a merchant's son who inherited his wealth. He is happiest when working the land, but duty and title now demand that he finds a wife. Hugo doesn't wish to court Gwen, yet he cannot resist her guileless manner, infectious laugh, and lovely face. He wants her, but will she have him? The dour ex-military officer who so gallantly carried Gwen to safety is a man who needs a lesson in winning a woman's heart. But through courtship and seduction, Gwen soon finds that with each kiss, and with every caress, Hugo captivates her more—with his desire, with his love, and with the promise of forever.
 
"[Mary Balogh] writes with wit and wisdom. . . . The Proposal is both moving and entertaining and the beginning of what promises to be an outstanding series."—Romance Reviews Today
 
"A historical romance of unusual thoughtfulness and depth."—Publishers Weekly

BookLender review by PATRICIA on 2013-09-17 11:36:33

Really enjoyed this first book, but book2, The Arrangement, is even better and features these characters again prominently. Book 3, The Escape wont be available until next year, but Ill be impatiently waiting for Bens story. Hopefully, well get 7 books since there are 7 members in the Survivors Club. Course the one female member might get matched with one of the remaining 4, but which? At least she seems to have started with the most dramatic 3, so Im happy either way.
