Someone to Romance

A Westcott Novel #8

by Mary Balogh

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

The Westcotts are at it again!!!

I cannot get enough of this extensive family and their HEA’S!!!

I feel like we have almost come full circle with the story of Lady Jessica Archer, since the saga began with her brother, the Duke of Netherfield and her sister-in-law Anna, who changed all of their lives...

After watching her brother, cousins and other relatives get over family trauma and find happiness, Jessica decides this season (her 6th) she will finally marry. Luckily for her there are some new eligables on the market this year! In particular Gabriel, a mysterious gentleman of means recently returned from America and Anthony, the soon to be declared heir of the Earl of Lyndale... not one, but 2 suitors!

Secrets, lies, attraction and convince add together to help Jessica choose her husband. This choice is not without trials, but with the whole Westcotts crew behind them, Jessica and her new husband are able to overcome and see the love underlying the marriage of convenience!

As always- I could not put this book down! I love this family!!! Jessica and Gabriel’s romance was a delight, but all of the other Westcotts brought the sparkle to this book!

I highly recommend this (ok pretty much any Mary Balogh book), but I suggest that this series be read in it’s entirety. Balogh does an excellent job outlining the important details of the family dynamics in each book, but I feel it is so much better to have all the details- which there are many- through reading the series in order.

Someone to Romance by Mary Balogh is scheduled to release August 25th, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Berkley Publishing Group through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
