Marcel Lamarr, the Marquess of Dorchester, initially comes across as a great bore, which are usually my favorite types of Balogh characters. Even the petty ways of the Ton that often annoy me end up amusing me in a Balogh creation. I just know that no matter how difficult her characters are to love because of their initial faults, I will love their resolution. Mary Balogh is always a comfort read and I beg to review every book she writes. I’ve become extremely picky about how many Regencies I accept to review and rarely buy them as a comfort read.
Having said that, as an avid historical romance fan, the Regency era is my least favorite period to read. I was so happy to be back in this world so eloquently created. Starting this novel at a small-town festival, where neither of these characters would normally visit, gives such a lightness and frivolity to their time together. Their idiosyncrasies are so realistic and fun. The fourth novel in the Wescott regency historical romance series, SOMEONE TO CARE by Mary Balogh, meets those expectations and exceeds them in several ways. Mary Balogh is one of the few authors who always meets my expectations.
