A Matter of Class Audiobook

" A great novella from Balogh. Won't go into it more than that to avoid spoilers "

" A fun little historical romance with an enjoyable plot development. Reginald is rich, from working class, and schooled as a gentleman. Annabelle is a poor earls daughter who is ruined by scandal. A betrothal is arranged and these families from different classes must interact. "

" This is probably Balogh's funniest book. Her books are always excellent romances, but very few romance writers can handle humor as deftly. "

" This is a sweet, cute romance that is very cleverly written. It alternates between his and her perspectives and the present and the past. Delightful! "

" Wow...this is a little book with a story of people who you don't exactly realize their characters til you read on and on...quite a little treasure. "

" Well done, as all of Balogh's books are, but I dropped a star for a well used plot. If I could, it would be 3 1/2 stars. Well used or not, I enjoyed it. "

" Predictable--and not in the way that romances are always predictable and which I fully support, the HEA. I probably would have liked this better had it been packaged as the novella in an anthology. As it was, I figured out the twist on page 3 or so, and the rest of it was nothing special at all. "

" Wonderful book! It was very well written & had this unexpected twist that make it stand out among other Ms Balogh's works. I highly recommend that you read it! "

" Interesting period novel with a twist. "

" I'm a fan of historical romance, so this disappoints. "

" Loved this book - the twist is unexpected and wonderful. Great Love Story!! "

" This is a short, fun read. I recommend it for light beach reading or a rainy afternoon. "

" Though the ending was easy to see, it did not take away from the heartfelt story of these two main characters: Annabelle Ashton and Reginald Mason. "

" A quick light read that telegraphed the final twist way ahead. Quite enjoyable, but insubstantial. "

" A sweet, light historical romance between two characters of different social classes. "

" Excellently written. It was like the Scarlet Pimpernel for me; surprising and better than I expected. There is a spicy part FYI. Two fathers are forcing their son and daughter to marry, but what we find is that this forced marriage may not be as bad as they thought. "

" Good story. It kept me entertained. This is an author I will continue to seek out if I need a "filler" book. It was short, so I was able to use it to fill in time.. "

" Delightful short story read. Young love. "

" I found this book by accident and have since read others by this author, which are well-written, fluffy and fun, but I really enjoyed this one. It is a light enchanting regency romance with a twist. "

" This book was written to satisfy a market for shorter reads. It went really fast, but had the hallmarks of a good Balogh read. "

" A light but enjoyable read. "

" A very sweet story about love conquering all! :) "

" This book starts out quite slow, but if anyone is reading this trying to decide whether to keep going, do it! The ending was a very nice surprise, and while I don't think id re-read this book, Id defibately say its ending makes up for the slow beginning. "

" A pretty typical romance, fun but light. At least it was set in regency England which was kind of fun. "

" Was a very cute and fast read. I would reread it to pass time. "

" Quick, sweet and different. I loved it!! "

" It was woth the $$! "

" I do love regency-era novels, and this one had engaging characters and an interesting back-story. Unfortunately, the soft porn dropped this from likable to avoidable. "

" I really enjoyed it. It was short sweet and good. "

" Very easy read with a good twist at the end. Easy summer reading. "

" Typical Mary Balogh...great fun to listen to - lots of romance with a bit of sex thrown in - lots of "Oh Reggie" throughout. Loved it...won't expand your mind...but perfect for walking on the treadmill. "

" What a nice turnabout ending! Just like a good mystery, it makes you want to re-read the whole thing to pick out the clues. "

" This was a predictable, easy, read. Nothing remarkable! "

" I gave it a 3 because I quickly figured out what the twist was. "

" I'm a fan of historical romance, so this disappoints. "

" I would call this a short story, not a novel. It is only 190 pages (in the hard cover editon), and I knew what the whole plot was going to be by page 33. Overall, a decent book, just not one that I would recommend as a to-read. "

" awesome book, love the twist at the end. not the usual romance novel. "

" A short book, I read it in a matter of hours. I can't remember when I last had so much fun just from reading. It is delightful in every way. "

" I loved this!! I figured out out the clever twist before the end, but just barely!! "

" This is a sweet, cute romance that is very cleverly written. It alternates between his and her perspectives and the present and the past. Delightful! "

" Really loved this book! Great story, great writing! "

" So cute a fun read on a snowy or rainy afternoon. They don't all have to be heavy, you know. "
