Mary Balogh’s Regency novels are among the very best. Authentic for the times, well-researched and perfectly edited. Her stories are original with interwoven story lines. Characters have depth and are well-developed. I have only recently discovered Ms. Balogh’s novels, and can’t seem to read anything else.
