A Sin He Cannot Forget
The Duke of Exeter knows it's time to find a bride, and he's determined to locate the passionate minx who enticed him in a pitch-black library. But how can you find someone you've never really seen? Then, while supervising his young ward's education, he is irresistibly attracted to her exquisite new teacher. He keeps wondering if they've met somewhere before, never suspecting she's the woman he's never forgotten after his one night of sin.
A Wicked Secret
As a beloved instructress at an exclusive school for young ladies, Lady Siusan Sinclair is a model of deportment. But no one knows her secret--that she fled London for Bath, her reputation on the verge of tatters, her fortune lost. Still, no matter how hard she tries, she can't forget the knee-weakening kiss of the man who led her astray . . .

The book starts at a gala celebrating Sebastian's recently becoming the Duke of Exeter, after the death of his brother. Siusan happens upon his planned tryst in a darkened library and is immediately mistaken for someone else. Sebastian is slightly inebriated when this happens and wakens the following morning to nothing but faint memories of the night before, and of course a goal to find this girl.
Siusan, immediately after leaving the library realizes she just *met* the Duke of Exeter, and knows she must hide herself in case he recognizes her. Siusan is doing her damnedest to follow her Father's order, not for the sake of respectability, but rather so she can stay with her siblings(and not be cast out, which aside from how close the siblings are to each other, she would go so she wouldn't jeopardize her siblings changes of restoring their Father's wealth/respect - no signs of her "sloth" like behavior).
Since Siusan and her Family have no funds, she must now hide herself while working for room and board. She does this at a girls academy, where one of her students is Sebastian's illegitimate niece. When Sebastian and his Grandmother catch wind of said niece learning about being a lady vs. true academics, Sebastian comes to inspect and runs into Siusan again. Their relationship blossoms while she's pretending to be Miss. Something or Another (sorry memory is bad!) and he's using a lesser title.
All this time Sebastian keeps thinking this is the girl from that night..this isn't the girl...this is the girl. It got confusing, just when i'd settled on him knowing she was the girl, the story line veers back to him not knowing. It was frustratingly confusing. This book either got rushed through the editing process and/or Caskie was all jumbled about how she wanted things to unfold and that came through.
Without revealing too much about the plot line, I'll tell you there's a major hiccup in their relationship when someone else wants to lay claim to the Dukedom by pretending another was the girl from that night, her and her pregnant belly. Siusan sheds her "sloth-like-demeanor" to confess and save Sebastian a life with this other woman, while at the same time knowing this would sever her chances with her Father, remove her from her home with her siblings, kill her respectability, and ruin any chances of Sebastian being able to offer for her. This all gets solved neatly and quickly.
I wish the author gave us a chance to fall in love with these characters, instead we read that it happened. I guess in between watching lessons on pouring tea and flipping a fan? Where they have little conversation. And she doesn't know him to be the Duke and he doesn't know her to be the mystery girl he's searching for? I feel like authors these days, at least in this genre, forget they're writing a book with characters that CAN come to life. Its like they're taking the same tried plot lines, changing the names, adding some character flaw (in this case, our sloth ridden heroine), a few details, and running full-speed ahead to the happy ending (which I admit is what keeps me in this genre!), but there's so much stuff in middle that's just lacking!
Anyways, my frustration with the genre doesn't change my rating...All in all this was your average over priced book, and not one I'd pick up again. Mostly this book left me wishing I could sell back my eBooks.
