"Jo Goodman hooks you and keeps you glued to the pages."
Product Description
With this third book in her captivating quartet featuring the irresistible men of the Compass Club, USA Today bestselling author Jo Goodman offers the sensual, suspenseful tale of a Marquess who is determined to capture the heart of a woman who has refused his proposal of marriage. Lady Sophia Colley, daughter of the late Earl of Tremont, finds herself imprisoned in her own home by mercenary cousins who want her to marry the money her poor father failed to leave them. When the Marquess of Eastlyn arrives to rectify the false rumor that he and Sophie are engaged, the last thing he expects is to be entranced by her honey-hued eyes. East proposes on the spot, only to have Sophie turn him down flat. But Sophie's rejection of East is far from personal. In fact, it's all she can do to resist his charms...and her willpower is put to the ultimate test when he returns. The desire between them is impossible to deny, but deny it she must in order to protect East from a past intrigue that is about to place them both in very present danger. Now, they must work together in very close quarters, for only after they unravel a treacherous mystery will they be free to pursue the love of a lifetime.

Jo Goodman's Compass Club Continues
30 Sep 2003
Format:Mass Market Paperback
After reading North and South's story, I was looking forward to East and Sophie's story because it had been hinted at in both of North and South's books. I have enjoyed all of Ms Goodman's earlier series, Dennehy Sisters, Thorne Brothers, but this one took me a long time to get interested in it. I thought the first 150 pages was too boring. The story picks up when North goes to visit Sophie at Tremont Hall. From there, the action and the romance takes off. I will definetly buy West's story when it comes out. I can't wait to read what woman catches his eye. The earlier books both had strong female characters, which I enjoy. All of Jo's books have good, strong, female heroines.

Got better the longer you read!!
4 Sep 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I agreed with the other reviewer that the first part of this book really dragged. If I had not felt so invested in the Compass Club reading both North and South's stories I may have been tempted to set it aside. But I LOVED the first two books and really liked East and wanted to read about his love. I am not sure why the first part dragged - I think the main reason is that Sophie held so much back - if I had really sensed early on that she was totally infatuaed with East from a previous meeting and she feared for his life if they got involved maybe I would have felt more ingaged in their story from the beginning. However the story only got better and finally at Tremont Hall it really begins to catch your heart and the last half of the book might even deserve 5 stars. It is odd in the end you get an even better feeling of contentment from East and Sophie than North and South and their loves. I am looking forward to West's story and I agree that a reunion book about the group would be the best way to engage them all in each others lives since all their tales are written simultaneously. Again it does help to read North first followed by South, East and lastly West!
Not too bad
21 Nov 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I will give this book a three and a half stars. The first half of the book was pretty boring. From what I had read of the cover, I thought it would be exciting right from the first, but not so. It takes quite a while for the story to warm up, but once it does, its good going. I liked East's character, and Sophia's too once I found the reasons for her behavior. But I wished Jo Goodman had cut down on some of the prose in the beginning, it was very tedious and hard to read. I skipped a lot of the descriptions and concentrated mainly on the dialogue. That was the only way I good get to the latter part of the book, otherwise it would have been a snooze-fest. This is my first of the compass club series, so I can't compare it to the first two. However, it gives enough hint about the other two stories, so I am not of a mind to read them. But I believe I will read West's story though.
