Lighthearted, but not up to Balogh's usual standards
I bought this title to add to my extensive Mary Balogh collection, expecting a read up to the same standards of her other works. I was a little disappointed. Being one of her older stories, I was looking forward to something light-hearted, with a sweet undertone that rapidly engages the reader and draws you into the minds of the hero and heroine: concepts that are characterictic of Balogh regardless of the length or seriousness of the piece, but that are especially descriptive of her earlier Signet Regency novels. While her larger works, (Super Signet Regency Romances and of course her subsequent sequels like Mistress, Bedwyns, etc.) allow for a thorough exploration of the intricacies of not only the main characeters but also suportive characters such that the reader can track all the threads of the story heightening the suspense of the inevitable (the mystery is solved, the shallow hero/heroine evolves, the misunderstanding is unravelled and the hero and heroine admit to each other their all-consuming love), the shorter Signet Regencies simply do not have the space to delve into all these apsects that make up a truly juicy romance. YET, Balogh is usually able to do just this, even in her 200-page novels AS WELL AS in her short anthology stories. Which is what makes her such a good author. Had this been any other author, I would have probably rated the book a bit higher, but since it is Mary Balogh I was left feeling that the characters lacked interest and remained somewhat shallow throughout the story. I would have purchaed this book regardless of how engaged I was or was not simply because it is part of her collection and Balogh's works are far superior to the average romance author out there. If you are willing to spend the money on an older Balogh Signet Regency then you are doing it for the same reasons I am -you love the author and want to add to your collection, then this review should not deter you in any way. If you are looking for something you can sink your teeth into and aren't interetsd in collecting these older books, then look elsewhere, try Balogh's Super Signet Regencies or the aforementioned series.Read full review

Love gamble.
This is a fun read, with the two main protagonists as opposed in age, attitude, and station in life as can be : a bored and cynical Duke, who is very conscious of his exalted position and responsibilities, and an irrepressible tomboy who rages at the prospect of being turned into a young lady for the Season. Both, edged on by their friends, bet that they will marry within weeks, the Duke will find a bride at random, Henrietta will ensnare the Duke - he is the most unlikely candidate her friends can think of! But the duke falls for the tomboy, despite or perhaps because of her total lack of airs and graces, and the tomboy after a few lively incidents involving her colourful, disaster-prone siblings, finds true love in the Duke's arms. There is a definite echo of Georgette Heyer’s The Convenient Marriage, with both hoydenish heroines finding themselves in very hot water when they attempt to rescue a brother foolish enough to gamble! The story is very light , the minor characters barely sketched, but still it is an enjoyable romantic tale where the villains are quite revolting, and the hero and heroin fully deserving of our admiration!Read full review
