I picked this up only because I'm running out of historical romances from my library's ebook collection. Anyway, I saw this and could not believe that a Regency romance heroine could unironically be named Vanessa Huxtable, so I had high hopes for a tongue-in-cheek Regency-era Cosby Show retelling...
Jasper Finley, Baron Montford, telah memenangkan semua taruhan dan mulai bosan dengan permainan itu sampai akhirnya muncul sebuah taruhan dari teman-temannya bahwa dia harus bisa menaklukan Miss Katherine Huxtable, gadis muda yang baru saja memasuki dunia bangsawannya setelah adik laki-lakinya re...
ok, it was just ok. This book seemed to drag on and on. Second book of the series. Can't say I really enjoyed the bok as much as the others in the series.
This is the third in the series-and the best- of the series thus far. A great summer read! -Darcy I enjoyed this book because it was true to the time period. Plus Mary Balogh makes me laugh.
Super cute Historical English romance about a silly kind hearted young woman and a staid quietly strong titled gentleman. They are the best 'catches' of the season so of course they are thrown together quite often, but even before being formally introduced they have an awkwardly romantic first me...
Oooh, this book kept me on my toes. Witty and entertaining I can't wait to read more books by Mary Balogh in hopes they are all as awesome as this first one that I've read. Sacrificing yourself for the sake of family and friends, a dog, is all something Cassandra does for love. Her 'prey' Stephan...
A Handful of Gold – Mary Balogh – 2/5 – While I can’t pick anything out of here that I specifically didn’t like, I think I just didn’t feel engaged with the characters. The Hero wasn’t particularly likeable at any point in the story in my opinion, and I think they “fell in love” rather quickly. ...
I can't say many flattering things about this book or the author. I disliked the way the story was written.One thing I like about books is that you are transported into the characters lives and get the opportunity to experience the story through their eyes. This story was not at all like that. It...
It's sort of not great to give this only two stars because the writing was pretty good, but. 1. I felt like there was a lot of recycling from the last book (oh! they shall learn to love! - oh! but he is so very inappropriate). Having read them straight up back to back, it really stood out. Had...
Cinta masa lalu Miss Margaret Huxtable, Crispin Dew, kini datang lagi dalam kehidupannya dan meminta Meg untuk menikahinya. Meg yang masih sakit hati karena Crispin mengkhianatinya karena menikahi wanita Prancis, makin marah pada pria itu karena Crispin kini ingin menikahinya karena dia membutuhk...
I like that Mary Balogh tries to write about different personalities and how they might get along. Many authors write a blueprint hero/ine and she does not. I'm glad because her books are all the more enjoyable for it. I adored both the heroines in both stories, but the heroes less so -- I jus...
I really did enjoy this book!It was quite different from the previous books in the series and a little difficult to read at the beginning.I had my problems with the heroine because I did not particularly like the way she tried to solve her money problem. I totally agreed with Alice that there had...
The temporary wife: more interesting than "the ideal wife" which has a similar plot. Here, the hero has a long buried grudge with his family. The new wife ends up melting hearts and mending rifts.The promise of spring: story develops over nearly 3 years. Heroine is older than hero and has to...
Oh, Mary Balogh, how I love your books! This is the 4th installment in the Survivors Club series. Each time, I think this is my favorite one. And I am always right, until the next one. Flavian had a head injury that made him unable to speak or think clearly. Thanks to the Survivors Club, he impr...
This book I found in the lobby of my apartment. I needed something small to fit into my purse yesterday while riding Bart. While I believe it is probably in the romance department of books, one I stay away from. It was still a quick fun read and not too corny. It was fun to read how two feuding f...
This is the first Mary Balough book I ever read, and also my favorite. It's nice and short and I read it in a flash. The two protagonists are great, and the story has a most excellent twist in the middle. Balough deliciously hints at the twist before finally putting it out in the open, after w...
This was just an alright book. The story revolves around Philippa and Julian. Philippa was being match made by Vincent's family and hers. They didn't want each other though. Vincent had no interest in being married that early and to another accommodating female. She, on the other hand, had been e...
Two books in one.Christmas Bride is about a wealthy merchant-class man, Edgar Downes, who promised his father to wed--or be engaged to--a lady to bring home for Christmas. The problem is his wealth will only buy him so much in place of his birth, and the girls whose families are poor enough to t...

Great, great read - Rachel and Alleyne are wonderful, and the secondary characters extremely colorfulSUMMARY (Bedwyn Family, Book 5):Slightly Sinful overlaps significantly (chronologically speaking) with the previous book in the Bedwyn series, Slightly Tempted (Morgan and Gervase's story). Lord A...
After reading the Bedwyn Prequels, it was odd to be introduced to the Bedwyn series with Aidan since we didn’t meet him at all in the two Prequel books.From reading some reviews, I was all set to love this family and though they are supposed to be a haughty aristocrat family.. I LOVE them, I DO! ...
Review em: http://pepitamagica.blogspot.pt/2015/...Estes romances históricos passados nos inícios do século XIX falam sempre superficialmente da guerra com Napoleão, do Duque de Wellington, alguns até mencionam as lutas aqui na Península Ibérica, mas eu sempre achei que a maior parte das autoras ...
Reviewed for THC ReviewsSimply Unforgettable is the first book in Mary Balogh's Simply Quartet, which follows four teachers at Miss Martin's School for Girls in Bath. I didn't realize until I'd already started reading it that this series is essentially a spin-off of her Bedwyn Family Saga, which ...
Pages Survived: 215You know, when books are this bad, there should be a contractual and moral obligation to glorify the societal act of book burning. More Than a Mistress is a thing so bad, so atrociously rape-my-anal-glands awful that I'm convinced a spiked sledgehammer to the forehead wouldn't ...

I've got to say that this book is one of the funniest books I've ever read. Which I didn't expect. Sure, Mary Balogh can be funny, but I don't usually associate her books with being downright hilarious. I found myself laughing out loud at this book, sometimes in public places (I apologize to my h...

Es el tercer libro de la serie «Simplemente» de la autora Mary Balogh que tiene como protagonista a Susanna, la joven maestra de la escuela St. Martin para señoritas.

As someone who had been quite happy hating Freyja Bedwyn since meeting her in A Summer to Remember, I have no qualms admitting that I wasn't very thrilled about reading her book. At the same time, I couldn't help feeling some kind of morbid anxiety about it, as I wondered if Ms. Balogh would be a...
Boy, I love a good Balogh, going all the way back to Secret Pearl, ground-breaking and completely believable. More than a Mistress reminds me of that glorious story, but like a shadow reminds one of that which casts it. The heroine escaping to London believing she has committed murder is an unfor...
Well normally I love Mary Balogh, but this is one of her earlier books and just made me want to scream. As other reviewers have pointed out this is based on a big Misunderstanding, which makes absolutely NO sense whatsoever. The heroine Elizabeth Rossiter is working as a Companian to the 18 year ...
3.5+ starsI truly enjoyed this book, because as outrageous as it might seem, I could relate to Judith's plight and even her decision to be "slightly wicked". I realize many might not be able to suspend belief to accept that a woman like Judith might be more than tempted -- that she might actually...
