Courting Julia (Signet Regency Romance)

Rating:
Summary: Reminded me of Cotillion
Review: I enjoyed this book; Julia faces a difficult situation bravely and there are some very funny moments. But in the book I read Richard was the new Earl and definately NOT a rake. Freddy was another cousin.

Summary: Not one of Ms. Balogh's best
Review: Ms. Balogh is one of my favourite writers for regency novels but this is indoubtly not one of her best as the heroine is somewhat boring (because it seems that she doesn't really know what she wants), and so is the hero. There are too many peopole involved in the plot. The whole plot is not very convincing anyway: a girl has to choose her husband from her five cousins because it was her grandfather's last will. Though: still better than most other regency novels. I'd say, only read it if you haven't got any other Mary Balogh books at hand.

Rating:
Summary: A very enjoyable book
Review: This is my first book by Mary Balogh. I've never known a romance writer who can write so well, except Jane Austen. I couldn't put the book down until I finished it.
