Every time I read or review a Balogh romance, I say the following: If Mary Balogh’s publisher made her back catalogue available $4 or less each, I would stockpile it.
Balogh writes Regency romances about sensible people finding love.
Themes: Love moves one out of one’s comfort zone, and one needs to in order to find a true and passionate match.
I’ve read a bunch of Balogh that I haven’t reviewed. She’s a prolific and reliable author.
