Review 'Someone To Love' by Mary Balogh 



I just love Historical Romance novels. There is just something about those books that makes me feel happy.  I definitely feel like I’m traveling through time when I read a Historical Romance novel, and the romance just always has this almost magical feel about it. And the books I’ve read by Mary Balogh, were really good, so when the time came I grabbed my copy of ‘ Someone To Love’ and started reading.

In ‘ Someone To Love’ we meet Anna Snow. Anna has lived in a orphanage all her life and is now a teacher. One day Anna receives a letter that will change her life forever. Anna Snow is really the daughter of a very rich Earl, and she is the one who inherits all his money. In a blink of the eye Anna is one of the richest woman and soon she has to learn everything there is to know about the ‘ton’. Thankfully, Avery Archer, Duke of Netherby is there to help Anna out.

Just like the other books I read by Mary Balogh, ‘Someone To Love’ is a very nice and easy to read book. I took me a little time to get into the story, but when I did I was definitely fascinated by this read.
The whole Young-woman-living-in-an-orphanage part had a big cinderella feel about it and I really enjoyed reading Anna’s story.

The romance between Anna and Avery was something I just didn’t really ‘feel’. I just couldn’t really feel the chemistry between those two and I kept wondering if I somehow missed the whole falling in love bit. It was all very sudden and unexpected. It was still a nice romance story to read, but I just didn’t really got the feeling.

Anna was definitely a nice character. She was a very strong woman, who didn’t really seem to fit into her time. She was very opinionated and really just wanted to have a family of her own.
Avery was very mysterious, and still was this way at the end. I enjoyed reading about him, but I still feel like I don’t know him at all. And the whole Chinese fight stuff, just felt a little weird to me.

Overall ‘Someone To Love’ was a nice Historical Romance novel with a good story, and some nice characters.
