Someone to Care
Someone to Care | Mary Balogh
6 posts | 12 read | 5 to read
Once the Countess of Riverdale, Viola Kingsley throws all caution to the wind when adventure calls in the form of a handsome aristocrat. . . . Two years after the death of the Earl of Riverdale, his family has overcome the shame of being stripped of their titles and fortune--except for his onetime countess, Viola. With her children grown and herself no longer part of the social whirl of the ton, she is uncertain where to look for happiness--until quite by accident her path crosses once again with that of the Marquess of Dorchester, Marcel Lamarr. Marcel Lamarr has been a notorious womanizer since the death of his wife nearly twenty years earlier. Viola caught his eye when she herself was a young mother, but she evaded his seduction at the time. A prize that eluded him before, she is all the more irresistible to him now although he is surprised to discover that she is as eager now for the excitement he offers as he is himself. When the two defy convention and run away together, they discover that the ties of respectability are not so easily severed, and pleasure can ensnare you when you least expect it. . . .

This book is terrible. Everyone involved with this book is terrible. I cannot. They've been squabbling for at least six minutes over where the main characters should get married WITHOUT SPEAKING TO THEM. Not to mention that they're both terrible, terrible characters who refuse to acknowledge their own failings. It's getting returned. Tell me what to use my credit on instead, I am going to scream.

CoverToCoverGirl It sounds like her writing has changed because I certainly enjoyed her early works! 5y
CoverToCoverGirl The Ravenel Series by Lisa Kleypas is amazing on Audible.. as good as The MacKenzie series by Jennifer Ashley 5y
theresidentromantic @CoverToCoverGirl I love Mary Balogh, her series about Peninsula War Veterans is amazing. But this series is well intentioned, and her writing is the same as ever, it's just so cringy and unlikeable as a story. I might still read the one after, since the third one was as good as all her other books 5y
theresidentromantic @CoverToCoverGirl Is it really? The two Lisa Kleypas I read I didn't like. Maybe I'll give her a second try, if you say they're as good as my Mackenzies. 5y

I hate this main character guy. I get that he's horribly damaged too and stuff, but Jesus Christ. He just told this mother of three that if she disappeared for a few weeks, no one at all would miss her. 😡😡🤬

CoverToCoverGirl 😳 really!!?? 5y
theresidentromantic @CoverToCoverGirl YES. Granted, he thinks no one will miss him which is sad, but STILL. 5y

Full disclosure: I love Mary Balogh to an unhealthy degree :) She is my favorite historical romance author. She masterfully handles complex characters. This book is no exception. It is a wonderful, mature second-chance romance.

#ARC #Review: Someone to Care by Mary Balogh with @BerkleyRomance. At 42 years old, this heroine was quite unique in the realm of historical romance.⠀
