"Love comes when you least expect it in this captivating new novel in the Wescott Regency romance series from New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh. Lady Jessica Archer lost her own interest in the glittering excitement of romance after her cousin and dearest friend Abigail Westcott was rejected by the ton when her father was revealed to be a bigamist. Ever practical, however, once she's twenty-five, she decides it's time to wed. Though she no longer believes she will find true love, she is still very eligible. She is, after all, the sister of Avery Archer, Duke of Netherby. Jessica considers the many qualified gentlemen who court her. But when she meets the mysterious Gabriel Thorne, who has returned to England from the New World to claim an equally mysterious inheritance, Jessica considers him completely unsuitable because he had the audacity, when he first met her, to announce his intention to wed her. When Jessica guesses who Gabriel really is, however, and watches the lengths to which he will go in order to protect those who rely upon him, she is drawn to his cause--and to the man"--… (meer)

This series as a whole has been so comforting, so good, and this is no different. I really enjoyed it. ( )

After the events that led to Abby's discuss, Lady Jessica Archer struggled to pursue her own happiness without her cousin and dear friend. Now, with the marriage of Abby and Gil and the birth of their son, Jessica decides that this season she will choose someone instead of waiting for a love match.

Gabriel Thorne has lived in Boston for the past 13 years and enjoyed great success. But, the death of an heir leaves him responsible for the Lyndale barony. He has avoided this responsibility for several years, but when the next heir in line, Manley Rochford, begins harming others on the estate, Gabriel must return and assume his role. And, he will need a strong woman to assist him in navigating the ton. He chooses Jessica for her hauteur and social finesse.

However, as the events that originally led Gabriel to flee to America resurface, he finds that Jessica's support is more than social--he is falling in love. Maybe, Jessica has followed the Westcott tradition of finding a love match after all.

This one was just 'fine' for me. I loved her Bedwyns series, but this series has been more 2s and 3s than 4s and 5s. Almost every one just lacks the feeling and engagement I might hope for, and what's left is sort of ho-hum stories, with pretty mild affections, between just basically ordinary people. lol. I'm hoping that this series is just a different style that happens to be one I don't particularly connect with, and that Balogh might still write more stories closer to the Bedwyns. ( )

Someone to Romance by Mary Balogh is a 2020 Berkley publication.

Another beautiful love story by Mary Balogh!

When her cousin, Abigail, who is more like a sister to her, got married, Lady Jane Steel felt a little let down. Although, she no longer believes she will find true love for herself, she feels it is time for her to get married, regardless.

While considering her options, Lady Jane encounters Gabriel Thorne, a mystery man who has returned to his home country after spending many years in America. Gabriel, as it so happens, is looking for a wife- no love match required. Learning of Lady Jane’s heritage, he decides she will fit his needs exactly, and intends to pursue her.

He finds himself in competition with the very man who hopes to steal Gabriel’s inheritance. Not only that, but Lady Jane puts up more resistance to his plans than he anticipated, by insisting she be ‘romanced’!!

Time is of the essence for Gabriel, but he ultimately decides Lady Jane is worth the extra time and effort. Will she accept his proposal or fall under the spell of his more charismatic nemesis?

This is the lone Historical Romance series I try to keep up with. I may fall a few chapters behind- but I never totally lose track of this author or whatever series she is currently writing. While I will admit the series was initially hard to get into, I slowly fell in love with it, more and more as it went along. This one, though, is exceptionally good!! I loved the setup, which includes a mystery, and a tender story about a special relative of Gabriel’s.

The romance is also delightful, as Lady Jane realizes how her experience and class would be a huge asset to Gabriel, but also wishes to be appreciated for the woman behind the title and her public persona.

Overall, this was just wonderful story all the way around. I’m very much looking forward to the next book in this lovely series. ( )

Loved this as with all the others; now I have to wait for the next since I’ve caught up in the series. I wasn’t sure about Jessica at first, but Gabriel (totally swoon worthy) saw inside her and showed us that they were right for each other. Great story with the Westcotts banding together as usual; I seriously want to be adopted by this family. ( )
