SEDUCING AN ANGEL by MARY BALOGH REVIEW AND ~~GIVEAWAY~~

I was soooooo impressed and truly loved the first book of Mary's that I read, A Matter Of Class, see my review here, that I just had to read more of her books!!
Mary generously sent me two of her newest books. This is the first one I read.
"The recently widowed Cassandra Belmont, Lady Paget, has arrived in London during the social Season. But she receives neither welcome nor sympathy from society. Quite the opposite. There are questions surrounding the death of her husband, and rumor has it that Cassandra murdered him. Her son-in-law has used threats rather than law to cut her off without a penny. But she had dependents as well as herself to support. Her situation is desperate indeed when she decides there is only one way to save them all from destitution. She goes in search of a wealthy, well-connected protector-and she settles upon the Earl of Merton.

Stephen Huxtable, Earl of Merton, is now twenty-five years old, handsome, popular, and carefree. He is one of England's most eligible and desirable bachelors. He has no interest in marrying just yet, but he is quite open to the idea of taking a mistress. When the beautiful Lady Paget appears very willing indeed, Stephen sees no reason to resist his attraction to her, despite her scandalous reputation. Until conscience sets in, that is, at the same time as he understands how Cassandra has deceived him.

The affair would seem to be over almost before it has begun.

Stephen's conscience, however, moves him in more than one way, and he has a proposition of his own to make to the conniving, near-destitute widow. Suddenly the tables have been turned."

I have to admit that at first, I really did not like Cassandra the main female character. She seemed like a bad person. Of course once you get to know her, you learn why!!

There were a couple of fun filled twists (one that really surprised me!) and a great ending.

This book made me cry, cheer, and stay up all night to read it (I couldn't put it down!!)

Mary is a brilliant writer. She sets her stories back in the time of Kings, Queens and fancy dress (which I love)

I was also truly honored to have Mary autograph both books for me!!! That means soooo much to me!!

If you are a romantic like me (I don't want to say hopeless, because I am very much in love with my Hubby!) then you will love this book as much as I do.
