A Matter of Class

A Matter of Class is a short novel by Mary Balogh. Not only is it short, but it has large print and lots of white space.

Stealing Midnight is a lush romance with a very gothic atmosphere. The hero is wounded and devastatingly handsome, the heroine is beautiful and resourceful and the villainess hides an evil disposition behind the face of an angel. Like all of Tracy Macnish's books, this is old school romance - the ki ...

The Hunt

The Hunt is a paranormal romance that takes place in a land where shape shifting man/cats guard the people from dangerous creatures who would prey on them. In a field overflowing with vampires, this book was a nice change of pace. Miu is a thief and has the thief’s mark. She ...
