The Plumed Bonnet (Signet Regency Romance)

3 reviews
Mary Balogh

Signet, 1996

A marvellous book in a great series
I have to say I am biased; I like this series by Mary Balogh so much that they are all keepers (starting with THE FAMOUS HEROINE and ending with THE CHRISTMAS BRIDE, which is also part of another series). What makes THE PLUMED BONNET special to me among the wonderful books in this series is the amount of realism that Balogh brings to this particular book. Normally, Regency writers often have ...

Gloriously Drawn, Gloriously Savored !!
When Mary Balogh is good, she is very, very good, and here she excels. This love story is wonderfully written and wonderfully enjoyed. Balogh pulls the reader into her passionate story with her usual flare. This is the tale of the mysterious Catherine Winters, and the overpowering, bored Rex Adams, the Viscount Rawleigh. Catherine is a compassionate woman living in the rural setting of ...

Wonderful regency romance.
Jennifer Winwood and her cousin Samantha are in London for their first season. Jennifer is thrilled because after five long years of waiting, she is to become officially engaged to the devastatingly handsome and honorable Lionel Kersey. She is deeply in love with him even though she's only met him a few times in the last five years. In the park one day, Jennifer and Samantha come across two ...

This is Balogh's Masterpiece
This novel was, I believe, one of Balogh's last Signet Regencies. It's just a gem. A bit darker in theme than her usual work of this period, the novel contains a familiar Regency plot device (warm country lass marries into cold, repressed aristocratic dynasty) but is rewoven by Balogh to make an intriguing, thoughtful, and impossible-to-put-down read. What I liked most about this book was ...

Signet, 1995

Wonderful follow-up to 'Dark Angel'.
Samantha is visiting with her cousin when she wanders off for a walk and meets the wealthy and crippled Marquess of Carew. He is dressed in gardener's clothes and she mistakes him for one. The marquess is charmed that this beautiful young woman wants to talk to a mere gardener, and so he does not enlighten her to his true station. The two develop a deep connection: they become true friends. ...

A Christmas delight and keeper - superior efforts
I am working my way through a little horde of Regency Christmas anthologies, savouring them one at a time. I picked this one up whilst on holiday recently and just read it; what a pleasure it was! I don't ordinarly seek out short stories as a matter of course but I am very fond of this particular little mini sub-genre. Three of the contributions stood out for me. "The Rake's Christmas" by Edith ...

A Precious Jewel (Signet Regency Romance)

Mary Balogh

Signet, 1993

Sweet and Touching!
This is a wonderful book! It actually made me cry and that is really saying something because I *never* cry over books or movies. Bravo to Mary Balogh for being brave enough to write a story set in Regency times with a *working* prostitute for a heroine! I confess that I hate the more typical prostitute-but-still-a-virgin historical romance plotline. Priscilla Wentworth is an impoverished ...

A tortured hero finds the route to love
Lucas Kendrick reluctantly comes back to England after ten years of exile in France; now Duke of Harndon since his brother's death, he recoils at the idea of becoming reacquainted with a family that rejected him, and marrying is simply out of the question, even though bringing back his Duchess to Bowden Abbey is part of his duty. Bitter and cynical, he has stopped believing in love since his ...

Revenge is sweet... or is it?
Eight years ago, Max, then Viscount Evendon, was engaged to Judith Blakeford. But, with a month to go until the wedding, she eloped with Andrew Easton. Judith found her fiancé cold and forbidding, whereas Andrew tempted her with romance and passion.

A Certain Magic

Signet Regency Romance, 1991

Friendship... and a certain magic
I've become more and more impressed by Mary Balogh's books, and this one is no exception to the rule. Friendship turning to love is a familiar theme in romance novels; in fact, Balogh's Irresistible dealt with a similar subject. However, despite some similarities (the heroine is a young widow who has always been secretly in love with her best friend), the characters are unique and very much ...

Worth it for the Emma Lange novella alone.
Any time you get a chance to read Emma Lange, run don't walk.

Rustic encounters, mistaken identity and love versus a crush
William Mainwaring is trying to escape from the mess his life has become over the past year, in which he fell in love with the (then) estranged wife of his best friend. So he retreats to Graystone, in the north of England, intending to try to forget Elizabeth and avoid polite society. However, he reckons without the inhabitants of the local town, who are determined to include him in their ...

Snow Angel (Signet Regency Romance)

Mary Balogh

Signet, 1991

Really Excellent!!!
I really loved this book! Mary Balogh is a *master* of the short Regency romance and "Snow Angel" is a wonderful example of just how *good* such a story can be. Both the hero and heroine were imperfect but *vastly* likeable, the secondary characters were well-developed (one of them almost steals the book!), the story was well-written and wonderfully angsty (my favorite type!) and the sexual ...

Slightly Married (HC/DJ)

Mary Balogh

Dell Publishing Company, 2003

The first of a series and one of the best in it
For those who know Jo Beverly's "Malloren" series, the main characters (the Bedwyn family) may cause echoes to ring. While the Malloren series is set in the early year of the reign of George III, Balogh's "Slightly" series begins in 1814 after Napoleon's abdication and the last "Peninsular" battle at Toulouse. However, Mary Balogh's "voice" is unique from Jo Beverly's, although both are ...

Taming of the Shrew
If you've been following the Bedwyn series, you'll already know Lady Freyja Bedwyn. Haughty, shrewish, with the prominent Bedwyn nose and, at best, referred to as 'handsome', her best feature is her family name and wealth. She's refused suitors galore and frozen others out long before they've had a chance to get close to proposing. Up to this point, you might be forgiven for thinking that she ...

Five historical stories with rakish and roguish heroes
This collection contains stories by two very well known authors in the Regency genre, Mary Balogh and Mary Jo Putney, and three others with whom I was unfamiliar (Melinda McRae, Anita Mills and Maura Seger). The first story is "Hide-and-seek" by Melinda McRae and features Miss Juliet Waldron who works as governess and mother to the seven illegitimate children of Viscount Belmont. Although an ...

Wings, 2005

Mary Balogh is one of the Best Romance Writer
The 2 novels were incredibly romantic, I could not leave the book alone until I read each complete novel. I spent some 4 days on the whole book. The brothers were so different, but at the same time very similar, staying true to the woman they love.

Signet, 1992

Some splendid examples of a well-loved sub-genre
I love romantic fiction set within the context of Christmas and regencies are a particular favourite of mine. I always treat myself to the various Christmas anthologies because they make a particularly nice read at the holiday season when things get so frantic you begin to wish Christmas had never been invented! I recently obtained a few of the old Signet Regency Christmas anthologies now out ...

Fast shipping
I had to re-order this book as another seller took two weeks before letting me know they did not have the book I purchased. So I purchased from this seller and did express shipping with no problems.

HEARTLESS

Berkley Books, 1995

Another excellent story from Mary Balogh - this one set in the 1750s
"Heartless" is the first Mary Balogh book I have read that isn't set in the Regency period. I didn't initially realise that events were taking place in the 1750s rather than early 1800s but was clued into it by the different language used and the descriptions of clothing. And of the hero. Now I have to say that I wasn't 100% convinced by the hero initially - although he's dishy and has ...
