Anna Snow…or Snow White?

Someone to Love by Mary Balogh

February 23, 2021 by Catticus Finch 2 Comments

Humphrey Westcott, Earl of Riverdale, has died, leaving behind a fortune that will forever alter the lives of everyone in his family—including the daughter no one knew he had… This is book one in the Westcott series, which I had to read after finishing book seven (wrong order, I know!).  The character of Avery Archer, Duke of Netherby, caught my interest in the other book so I had to find his story.  This one begins with Anna Snow, left at an orphanage in Bath at […]

Romancing Lady Jessica

Someone to Romance by Mary Balogh

February 18, 2021 by Catticus Finch 2 Comments

This is book seven (!) in the Westcott series, so I was prepared for a bit of confusion over some of the characters as I hadn’t read the first six.  Still, the overwhelming amount of Westcott family members, in-laws, children and family backstory was almost too much.  I decided to persevere, and focus on the main characters of Jessica and Gabriel, and stress over how Aunt Matilda or Cousin Abigail et al fit into the mix. Jessica, step-sister to the Duke of Netherby, has been […]

A soothing, if a bit dark, seaside romance

The Proposal by Mary Balogh

December 9, 2020 by Nart Leave a Comment

I liked this one! Hallelujah! Balogh is a safe choice for me, because I know she doesn’t do problematic heroes and her heroines tend to have actual personalities and usually explore trauma in a pretty interesting way. This book is no different. Plot: widow falls on the beach, badly spraining her ankle. Fortunately, a military hero is nearby to meet up with what we can probably call a PTSD support group for people who didn’t know what PTSD was yet. Realizing no one else is […]

A Good Road Trip Love Story

December 9, 2018 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

I have a library hold backlog gathering on my kitchen table, so I decided best plan was to knock out a few quick reads and hopefully catch up. Part of the backlog is a few of The Survivors’ Club books by Mary Balogh. I enjoyed The Proposal and The Arrangement earlier this year and had immediately put holds on the rest of the series. In typical me fashion I was nervous about the next book, The Escape, when I wrote my review for The Arrangement […]

Balogh Gives Us Young Love (CBR10Bingo)

September 13, 2018 by faintingviolet 2 Comments

I have stuff going on in my personal life right now (as do we all from time to time) so I found myself ready to check out of reality for a bit and sink into a safely fictional reality where things end happily. Off to Romancelandia I went to visit Mary Balogh’s Survivors’ Club and check off the Brain Candy square for bingo. The Arrangement is the second book in the series, and I’ll admit that I was a bit put off by which characters […]
