The Secret Mistress Audiobook

" The mistress theme was a rather shaky appendage, only there to make this book fit in with the series. It started out okay but got farcical and silly towards the end. "

" Read much better books by her...it was OK. "

" This is not one of my favorite stories by this author but it wasn't bad. It was a middle-of-the-road story and the characters were a tiny bit bland. I don't know that I would read it again but I won't throw it away either. "

" I give it 2.5 stars. It was an OK book. Not a lot of excitement. I am glad that I checked it out from the library and did not pay for it. "

" I needed something light and fluffy. It fit the bill. I did find myself skimming or even outright skipping parts, especially at the end. It did drag on a bit unnecessarily. I think I need some loud bonnets. "

" It's a historical romance, which is not everyone's cup of tea, but Balogh's writing is delightful and it was a fun, light read. "

" This was a nice, though sometimes predictable, love story. "

" The title and description do not do the story justice. It was not what I had expected "

" what a great fun trashy novel with their misunderstanding, foolish behaviors and funny ways of looking at each other. "

" I did not care for this book or the main character. "

" Meh, predictable and not all that racy. "

" Lolzy matchmaking hijinks, rakes, and a house party! "

" The book kept jumping back in forth with the characters. If a reader was not really paying attention they would get very confused. The book was bland. It did not have a lot of excitement. It was on the boring side. "

" It is a romance novel, what do you expect? "

" Enjoyed the characters, but it was very predictable. "

" My favourite in the Dudley series. Lord Heyward is a wonderful character, as is Angeline. Their confusion towards one another was well written and believable. Balogh has a reputation for being one of the best Regency writers out there, a reputation that is well deserved. "

" I just loved this. It's rare a romance novel that makes me laugh out loud, but this one did. I like that it's not overly serious and the heroine isn't in grave peril. I'm trying to figure out how Balogh made a heroine who is both silly and interesting, because that's not easy. "

" My rating for this book is more 3.5 then 4. I loved Lady Angeline Dudley's character in the other two books of the series and though I think more could have been done with this book, I enjoyed it mainly because of her. "

" I was quite pleasantly surprised by this book. The characters at first seemed contrived: the ditsy lady and steadfast young man. However, they were both developed nicely and I liked the secondary characters too. "

" Simple romance that drags some... "

" I guess it was nothing earth-shattering but I find Balogh's books comforting, and I adored the hero and heroine. Especially the hero. So glad we finally got a book about these two. "

" My grade: B+. Angeline and Edward are delightful. I laughed and smiled and enjoyed a lovely read. They are certainly not your usual protagonists. Angeline is a chatterbox and Edward is steady-as-a-rock sensible. Yes, they are perfect for each other. I appreciated the epilogue, as well. "

" Top notch Regency romance. See Booklist for review. "
