REVIEW FROM BOOKS FOR HER:

Known for her historical romances that go more than skin-deep and step away from a plot focused on passion, Mary Balogh’s latest is true to her signature and maybe even more so. Wren Heyden has half her face covered in a birthmark, which has caused her scarring deeper than just her skin since childhood. She’s spent most her life as a recluse and when she comes into a great fortune, she wants more for herself. Looking for a husband – she think she needs to use her fortune to get – she finds the new Earl of Riverdale. It’s hard to imagine a character like Wren in a romance novel, but Balogh makes it happen and with substance. We loved Someone to Wed for its realness and depth of character.
