Someone to Love by Mary Balogh (Westcott #1) Released: November 8, 2016 Historical Romance Signet Reviewed by Mandi Mary Balogh was one of the first romance authors I read, so she holds a special place in my heart.

And as I looked at my shelves, I was overwhelmed by the number of authors that I wanted to single out. Eventually, I decided to start at the beginning – the author Continue Reading

Then Comes Seduction – Mary Balogh

April 21, 2009 by Mandi

It is fun when Mary Balogh has a new series out because they usually all come out within a couple of months of each other.

He figured it would be more challenging to seduce an innocent virgin, and he really couldn't think of another wager that he Continue Reading
