To readers of her popular magazine Mrs. Goode’s Guide to Miss Conduct, “Mrs. Goode” is an expert in all domestic matters.

REVIEW: The Impossible Us by Sarah Lotz

1814, Bath “I promise you, she’s the most delightful creature, with a quirky sense of humour very like your own.

REVIEW: Someone to Care by Mary Balogh

KaetrinB Reviews / B+ ReviewsHistorical / older hero/heroine / Regency / Westcott11 Comments

Dear Mary Balogh, I hardly know how to start with this review. I mostly liked it. I was uneasy about one aspect of it. I found some of it subversive in delightful ways and some of it just subversive. I expect it will be a controversial book. I expect it ... more >
