About this product

Product Information

Just in time for Valentine's Day, from New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh comes yet another classic historical tale that sizzles with romance and unforgettable drama. Reginald Mason is wealthy, refined, and, by all accounts, a gentleman. However, he is not a gentleman by title, a factor that pains him and his father within the Regency society that upholds station over all else. That is, until an opportunity for social advancement arises, namely, Lady Annabelle Ashton. Daughter of the Earl of Havercroft, a neighbor and enemy of the Mason family, Annabelle finds herself disgraced by a scandal, one that has left her branded as damaged goods. Besmirched by shame, the earl is only too happy to marry Annabelle off to anyone willing to have her. Though Reginald Mason, Senior, wishes to use Annabelle to propel his family up the social ladder, his son does not wish to marry her, preferring instead to live the wild, single life he is accustomed to. With this, Reginald Senior serves his son an ultimatum: marry Annabelle, or make do without family funds. Having no choice, Reginald consents, and enters into a hostile engagement in which the prospective bride and groom are openly antagonistic, each one resenting the other for their currentstate of affairs while their respective fathers revel in their suffering. So begins an intoxicating tale rife with dark secrets, deception, and the trials of love--a story in which very little is as it seems.

  • Short, sweet romance with a twistt!

    A Matter of Class is another book about an arranged marriage where money is traded for class. This one has a twist and you will not discover it until the end of the book. It is very slick! Lady Annabelle Ashton is to be married to a fat, balding, titled man in order to replenish her father’s declining funds. She elopes with the carriage boy but is thwarted and shamed. The family’s neighbor and enemy uses this opportunity to force his wild, irresponsible son to propose marriage in order to climb the social ladder. Annabelle’s father is more than happy to marry her off to anyone who is willing to pay to have her. This is a story of two very different families who live side by side and have never socialized or even talked because of the class difference. One family is titled and ...

  • Expect the Unexpected -- and enjoy!

    Crisp writing, unexpectedly refreshing characters, and uniquely delightful -- and original! -- plot twists make this THE most satisfying book ever by the prolific Mary Balogh: a short sweet little book that will make you smile and laugh ... and then go back to the beginning and reread from scratch, to see what was *really* happening all along. Much recommended.

  • A Short and Sweet Book

    This book was short (190 pages) but the story was so enjoyable it was worth every penny spent. While reading the story of Reggie and Anna, I felt that all was not quite as it seemed. Their forced marriage by both of their fathers at first seemed unfair but as the story unfolds one realizes that they were a perfect match. The book has a plot twist at the end which wasn't a complete surprise and I won't go into any detail so the story is not spoiled for those who will purchase this book. The couple's interaction throughout the story was so cleverly written that I will buy more of Mary Balogh's books in the future. This book will go on my "read again" shelf which doesn't happen that often. I highly recommend this enjoyable book.

  • A Balogh Fan

    I am a huge Balogh fan but this is not high on my list of her works. Purchase was a pleasant experience.
