Mary Balogh

A Promise of Spring by Mary Balogh

I’ve mentioned before how much I love Mary Balogh’s writing style and it is definitely in full flower here.

From the book blurb:

Grace Howard has every reason to be devoted to Sir Peregrine Lampman. After all, the gallant gentleman rescued her from poverty by making her his bride. Even more nobly, he did not withdraw his affection after she confessed to a youthful folly that had compromised her virtue. But Grace did not tell the whole truth about the handsome lord who betrayed her—and now the one thing she’s kept from Perry threatens to destroy her last chance at true love.

The Temporary Wife by Mary Balogh

“It being not quite the thing to advertise in the London papers for a wife, Anthony Earheart, Marquess of Staunton, eldest son and heir of the Duke of Withingsby, advertised instead for a governess.” What a great way to start a book about a marriage of convenience! And the book continues to deliver from there. […]

A Chance Encounter by Mary Balogh

An early Mary Balogh that looks at what happens when two lovers are reunited six years later. This is not one of my favourite Mary Balogh books – it is recommended more for the die hard fans.
Elizabeth Rossiter is forever finished with love – after a disastrous episode that left her with a broken heart and a reputation that would be ruined should her scandalous secret be revealed.
