But the reunion he craved is soon overshadowed by the suspicion that Cat harbors and unimaginable secret.

I've given this a B+, so 4.5 stars.
I always look forward to the ‘Kickin’ it Old School’ prompt in the TBR Challenge, because there is such wealth of material for me to choose from. That can be a curse as well as a blessing when it comes to selecting just one book from my TBR, but this time around, it wasn’t too difficult as my eye was drawn to this particular book a few months back when AAR featured it as a DIKlassic review. I’m always interested to see how older titles bear up over time and this one has a premise I rather like, so it was an easy choice.
That premise is one that is also featured in one of my favourite historical romances, Lorraine Heath’s Waking Up With the Duke; that of a man who needs an heir but is incapable of doing the deed necessary to create one and asks his wife to sleep with someone else in order to become pregnant. In that book, the storyline follows the central couple as they progress from the extreme awkwardness of having agreed to have sex with someone they wouldn’t normally have chosen (and in the case of the woman, she’s got to deal with the guilt of committing adultery, too) to their eventual falling in love during the period they spend together in order to pursue the babymaking activities. Lady Cat, however, takes things in a different direction by focusing more on dealing with the fallout a few years down the road.
Lady Catheryn Brockton married her older husband three years earlier after having been governess to his two daughters, Elizabeth and Lydia. She is strongly attached to Edward and adores the girls to the extent that she would do anything to keep them safe, which is why, when her husband asks her to sleep with another man in order to provide him with an heir, she agrees to the plan in spite of her misgivings. If Edward dies without a male heir, his estate will pass to his slimy toad of a cousin, Jeremey Sedgewood, who is not only in debt up to his eyeballs, but is also a “brutal, drunken swine” who has already tried to force his attentions on Cat and has his eye on Edward’s eldest daughter. In order to keep her family safe, Cat agrees to do as Edward asks, and seek out his second cousin, Stephen, Lord Rockholme at an upcoming house party. Stephen is widely known to be an unrepentant rake and Cat should have no trouble seducing him; and as they have never met, he won’t know her true identity as she will attend the gathering under an assumed name.
Things go to plan; Stephen has recently rejoined his regiment and will be leaving for France in the morning, so is very much open to the prospect of a last-minute dalliance with a lovely widow. The couple shares a night of intense passion and then they go their separate ways.
Fortunately for Edward and Cat, their scheme is successful and Cat gives birth to a healthy son, named for his (legal) father. Five years pass. Edward dies not long after his son is born, and his will names Cat as executrix to the estate and co-guardian of the children, along with Stephen and the odious Jeremey, who proceeds to be a complete pain in the arse whenever he can, dropping by unannounced and behaving offensively towards Cat and the girls. Returned to England after Waterloo, Stephen, whose experiences over the past five years have changed and matured him, intends to track down the woman who had gifted him with such pleasure, whose memory he had held close and whose image had sustained him through some of the worst times of his life. He attempts to find her by writing to Edward’s widow, but is rebuffed, so instead he travels to Larks Hall to ask for information in person – and is dumbfounded to discover that the woman who has inhabited his dreams for the past five years is none other than Lady Brockton. Stephen is furious at the deception, especially as he inadvertently cuckolded a man he liked and respected, and further incensed when he realises he’d been used as a stud and that Cat has intentionally kept his son from him.
Cat’s reasons are sound of course; any hint that Eddie is not the son of her late husband will mean the odious Jeremey will have cause to challenge the terms of Lord Brockton’s will and possibly overturn it. In the heat of his anger, Stephen is determined to hurt Cat as she has hurt him, and insists that she provide him with the heir she has denied him. He can never acknowledge Eddie as his son, so he and Cat will marry so that she can bear Stephen an heir who can inherit his lands and title. Cat fully recognises that Stephen is entitled to be angry, but even so, is not prepared for his insistence that they marry and then part once she has given him a son. She has little alternative but to agree, but has a condition of her own, which is that they pretend, for the sake of Lydia and Elizabeth, that they are marrying for love.
Lady Cat is an emotionally charged, angsty story in which the author skilfully guides her characters through the messy, complicated emotions that follow Stephen’s discovery of the truth. Tensions between him and Cat run high and that includes tension of the sexual variety; their marriage might begin under less than auspicious circumstances, but there’s no denying the passion that sparks between them in the bedroom. They are complex, likeable characters, and I was pleased with the way the author developed the story without veering into Big Mis territory, so that instead of a couple at loggerheads for an entire book, we get two sensible, mature characters who talk things through and arrive at decisions together. Cat is a beautiful, spirited and intelligent woman who cares deeply for her son and step-daughters, sometimes to the extent that she puts them before all other considerations and ignores her own needs and wants, which does cause a little conflict between her and her husband. And Stephen is terrific hero; it’s true that he lashes out when he’s hurt, but he quickly recognises that he is being unjust and is able to see those feelings aside in order to try to build something real with Cat, and be a good father to his son and step-daughters.
Lady Cat was originally published in 1998, and has definitely stood the test of time. I’d encourage fans of character-driven historicals to give it a try.

4.25 stars.
Don't worry, my review is not a spoiler, you will read it in the first chapter!:)
The heroine's dying husband tried to persuade her to seduced his distance cousin aka the hero who is a famous rake and made herself pregnant with a son. His scientific logic in this situation rather dodge but let make ourselves believe in him:)
His reason actually is very strong and solid, if they don't produce a son, his tittle and wealth will goes to his evil cousin, he was really evil, the one who will forced himself to any woman he wanted because he think that was his right! Yes an evil man.
If that evil man in charge, his wife and his two daughters from previous married will plunge into danger and life in misery.
Our heroine loves the children, she was their governess before she marry their widow father and reluctantly agree with her husband plan.
So, she pretend to be someone else and came to a Soirée for the hero. You see he will go to war the next day and in that last night he want to sleep with a woman who took his fancy.
What they don't realise, their experience at that night changed both of their life and then the real story begin five years after:)
I like this story very much, the H/h characters development were good and the children so precious.
They behaved exactly as they are, children!
This book first published in 1998, I wonder why didn't get a higher rating.
But who care?
I love it!:)

two thirds into this book I began to skim through the book until the final few chapters and epilogue. The book had an interesting set-up: ailing Edward (a viscount) implores his wife, Lady Catherine, to get pregnant by another man (his cousin, Stephen) to ensure an heir so that his other cousin (I think Jeffrey), who is BIG BAD doesn't inherit the title and land. Edward wants Cat to attend a party disguised as his deceased wife's sister (I hope this makes sense) where she can seduce his cousin. Cat was originally a governess for Edward's two daughters, they married and had true affection and respect for one another. However, due to her low station, Cat never became popular with anyone else in the aristocracy due to her perceived audacity in marrying a viscount. By the end of the prologue, Cat has agreed to do this thing. By the end of chapter one, Cat succeeded in seducing Stephen (who is leaving for war on the continent) and getting pregnant with a boy. Edward dies a few months after his heir is born, the fraud has been a success!
What I liked: it's bonkers and the beginning really sucked me in. Also, Edward (husband #1) was a kind man and although he and Cat didn't have much of a sex life due to his illness, they were friends and they seemed to really be devoted to one another. Quite a few of the books with similar plots tend to characterize the first husband (the one who can't or doesn't get the wife pregnant) as a pretty terrible husband most likely to assure readers that it's okay for the FMC to commit fraud or adultery (Fyi I personally am a grown up so I personally don't consider these kinds of seed deals to be adultery.) So Edward being a good man was a refreshing take! I also really liked the three children (Cat's stepdaughters and her son) they were all so funny. And that's about all I really enjoyed here.
The rest of the book was ho-hum and the outside conflict with the lecherous other cousin (again, I think Jeffrey) was boring. I also don't know why Stephen insisted on marrying Cat once he found out Edward Jr. was his son? He was appointed the children's guardian so he already had the excuse to be present in their lives? I think this would have been more interesting if we were meant to live with the fallout of the Stephen finding out about how he was used in the fraud - instead he's got pants feelings that make up for his - very real, very legit - upset! I think this could have worked better for me if this was a slow-burn and Stephen coming around to still being in lust/love with Cat/the woman she pretended to be.

Lady Cat is the kind of book, I think, that if you like it you really like it. It's an angsty affair with two people deeply in love coming to terms with their feelings, because of guilt and other circumstances.
Catelyn is married to Lord Brockton, a very ill man when we kick things off. They married when she was governess to his two daughters to keep both she and the Lord's daughters safe from his rather vile cousin. For this reason they are also desperate to have an heir, but Brockton is so sick at this point he cannot help out and urges her to go to a house party and seduce his (notorious, of course) rake cousin, Lord Rockholme disguised as his former (dead, bad) wife's estranged sister.
Things are a bit too successful as Stephen, Rockholme and Cat are basically love at first sight. A son is born from the tryst, and Brockton dies knowing his cousin won't inherit and all his girls are safe.
Rockholme is leaving to rejoin the fight against Boney (of course), but he never forgets her. Returning five years later while desperately trying to find the mysterious lady he checks in at his deceased cousin's estate as he's been named co-guardian of the children. He's a bit surprised when he discovers who Lady Brockton is, to say the least but does not immediately recognize Edward (named after Brockton) as his son. Of course, this is eventually determined after they spend a bunch of idyllic time together as a big family, and they marry after Stephen demands Cat make it right by him as she owes him an heir.
While this is going on, evil cousin Jeremy is still trying to figure out how to get rid of Cat and Edward Jr and become lord Brockton himself. Luckily, Stephen very sincerely loves his wife and step-children and (his son) and is constantly at work trying to figure out how to get rid of Jeremy to keep everybody safe. Cat and Stephen work to overcome the odd beginnings of things and be truthful with each other.
A bit of a melodrama with huge feelings, super fun.

A very entertaining Regency; silly, sweet & satisfying. Cat & Stephen are very likeable characters with surprisingly mature attitudes, even if he was overbearing at times, we can put that down to jealousy; & their passion for each other was a joy to read. Frankly, if Brockford had already acknowledged Edward there was very little that anyone could have done, but the story was fun & I enjoyed it a great deal.

Set in Regency times, the story follows a young woman who became a governess, marries her employer who is dying, and ensures the succession by having a son. Her life is complicated and ruled by her attempts to save her husband's two daughters and her son from any contact with the former heir, who is unbelievably coarse and ugly. It makes you marvel at the sacrifices any woman might make for her children and wonder if you could be so selfless in a similar situation.

I really like this one, Cat is the type of person I could really get along with as a friend.
August 25, 2017
Verging on purple prose at times, but kept my interest overall (somewhat unusual approach to the "fake" heir problem).

predictable from page 3.

There are good elements in this story and I liked knowing what would happen. However, it reads a little too superficially and I think I won't remember much about it months from now.

Wonderful story!!
Joan Overfield has done it again. Lady Cat is a governess turned Vicountess at the beginning of the book. He husband is very ill and is asking her to sleep with a relative so that he has an heir to leave his estate to. His current heir, a Mr Sedgewedge is a horrible vile man who gambled and is irresponsible. They fear he may ruin the estate and possibly abuse the Viscount's two daughters. Lady Cat agrees reluctantly.
This is such a well written story. Lady Cat is a devoted mother who would fight the devil if needed to protect her children. The Earl is immediately smitten. He is a strong alpha type hero who is shocked when he realized what really is going on. Feelings are hurt but even trying to be angry the Earl is falling under the spell of not only Lady Cat but the children as well.
This story has an actual plot with twists, poisonings , kidnapping and even death. The characters are well written with depth. I really enjoyed this book.

Catheryn, Cat, married Lord Brockton after being governess to his 2 young daughters. Soon after he becomes ill and begins to worry about his daughters falling under the control of his heir, a thorough scoundrel. He convinces Cat to go to a house party and seduce his cousin, Stephen, hoping to get her pregnant and produce a son and heir. Stephen goes off to war and Cat home to bear a son. The story continues 5 years later when Stephen returns. The story progresses along pretty predictable lines. Good story but nothing unique about it.
March 5, 2017
A pleasant romance with a pretty decent plot, likable characters, and a relatively low number of descriptive sex scenes. The heroine, Catheryn (Lady Cat) is unusual for a Regency romance because she already has two step-daughters and a son in tow before marrying her love (although typical melodramatic misunderstandings and rocky beginnings abound.) Fun enough, but probably won't be reread.
August 1, 2011
A fun book with just a bit of suspense. Lord Stephen rockholme might have been a bit of a rake, but when he falls for a woman he will do anything for her.
November 26, 2017
I was able to get past the unlikely premise but not how the hero treated the heroine for most of the book... I just didn't care for the hot-headed hero, his mannerisms, etc.
