It was at these times that I often became frustrated with them. But I felt at times, that Sydnam and Anne took their introversion too far, making assumptions about how the other one feels rather than communicating and actually asking. I can appreciate this type of storytelling, and as an introvert myself, I can also appreciate introverted characters. There are no villains or external problems for them to overcome, merely them coming to terms with certain painful events in their pasts that tend to keep them apart. I think this is owing in large part to the conflict between the hero and heroine being entirely of an internal nature.
However, this one seemed a bit more languid than the rest. All of her books I’ve read to date have been somewhat slow-paced, which I’ve come to recognize as her writing style. This novel is no exception, and although the secondary characters lack the depth she usually infuses in them, this novel is a satisfactory conclusion to the Simply series.Simply Love is the second story in Mary Balogh’s Simply Quartet about the four teachers who work at Miss Martin’s School for Girls in Bath, and it’s the fifth story by her I’ve read overall. Her main characters are independent and forward-thinking for their time. Mary Balogh is a skillful and prolific novel writer. Soon the marquess is sharing his deepest secret with Miss Martin and asking for her help. When the Marquess of Attingsborough arrives to escort her to London, she tries to keep a professional distance, but finds herself drawn to him in spite of her dislike of the aristocracy, and in spite of the fact he has a beautiful, perfect fiancée. Martin is old enough to be considered on the shelf. This book is about the schoolmistress herself, Claudia Martin. Simply Perfect is the fourth and final installment in Mary Balogh’s Simply series set in Regency England, where four teachers from Miss Martin’s School for Girls find the men of their dreams.
