Description
Discover the beauty of second chances at love and life in this heartfelt new novel from New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh.The Dowager Countess of Stratton, Clarissa Ware, née Greenfield, has just presented her younger daughter to the ton, and the rest of her life belongs only to herself. She returns to Ravenswood, intending to spend the summer alone there. But the summer has other plans for her.Born a gentleman, Matthew Taylor has chosen to spend his life as the village carpenter. Growing up, he and Clarissa were close—dangerously so, considering his family’s modest fortune. As a young man, he never would have been a suitable match for the daughter of the wealthy Greenfields. Clarissa married Caleb Ware, the Earl of Stratton, so Matthew married another, though he was widowed soon after.Now everything is different—Clarissa has already lived the life expected of her by society. And Matthew is as attractive and intriguing as he was when they were young. As their summer friendship deepens into romance, they stand together on the precipice of change—essentially the same man and woman they remember being back then, but with renewed passion and the potential to take their lives in an entirely new direction.

Fans of the more serious side of Mary Balogh's writing may also appreciate the novels of Catherine Cookson. These focus on social, especially women's, issues. While romantic in tone, these are not romances; they are darker stories that examine women's lives and relationships, as well as difficult social and moral issues. -- Krista Biggs
Marion Chesney's romances will appeal strongly to Mary Balogh's fans, because both have an ability to recreate the Regency era expertly while also providing readers with a wonderfully satisfying romance. Readers may find more humor in Chesney's novels, and less sensuality. -- Katherine Johnson
Mary Balogh and Stephanie Laurens both write Regency romances centered upon family. Their books share a deep sense of family obligation and explore similar themes, such as childhood trauma and the need to protect. -- Victoria Fredrick
Mary Balogh's Regency romances should please readers who enjoy Loretta Lynda Chase. Both authors are known for their strong women and richly detailed period settings. Expect elements of humor, including witty dialogue, and sensuous love scenes between the heroines and the dashing male leads. -- Jessica Zellers
Kasey Michaels and Mary Balogh both write steamy historical romances with a strong sense of place. Seduction, scandals, and secrets have never been quite so engaging or charming. -- Mike Nilsson
Though Mary Balogh tends to be more realistic in her Regency romances, she and Sarah MacLean both write steamy and witty stories with real emotional depth. Their heroines and heroes are strong, flawed, and well-rounded characters, with their own desires, needs, and plans. -- Melissa Gray
Both authors' work features madcap heroines and romp-like plots. Though humor abounds in their stories, there are also often elements of mystery and suspense and serious consideration of social issues. Their novels and series are frequently linked together and follow the lives of groups of friends. -- Krista Biggs
Best known for their Regency romances, these writers create complex characters, steamy scenes of passion, and sparkling dialogue. Both feature protagonists who are emotionally damaged, although Balogh's can also be physically flawed. Humor plays an important part in their work, from Tessa Dare's funny to Mary Balogh's more subtle wit. -- Mike Nilsson
Both Balogh and Kelly write "sweet" Regency romances. Gentle humor and romance, relationships among families and friends, misunderstandings, and strong supporting characters fill their novels. -- Krista Biggs
Kelly Bowen and Mary Balogh write steamy Regency romances filled with wit, banter, and rich detail, placing an upbeat veneer over a darker England peopled with physically, emotionally, and ethically flawed characters who nevertheless strive for love and dignity amid the social mores of their time. -- Mike Nilsson
Jo Beverley, like Mary Balogh, often incorporates protagonists from the working and merchant classes, and the ways in which their upbringing and expectations clash with the aristocrats with whom they are eventually paired forms a large part of why Beverley's romances appeal to many Balogh fans. -- Krista Biggs
These authors' works have the appeal factors steamy, feel-good, and banter-filled, and they have the genres "historical romances" and "regency romances"; the subjects "interpersonal attraction," "nobility," and "social life and customs"; and characters that are "likeable characters" and "spirited characters."

Kirkus Book Review
A late-in-life romance offers a second chance at love to childhood sweethearts. Clarissa Ware, the Dowager Countess of Stratton, has come home to the family estate of Ravenswood to decide what she wants from life as her 50th birthday nears and her children are grown. Matthew Taylor, her childhood friend, had receded to a distant acquaintance for decades, as was dictated by her married state. Also widowed, he is now a social yet solitary carpenter who has made peace with his own losses, including that of a stillborn baby. When Clarissa commissions him to craft a crib for her grandchild, she also asks if they might renew their old tie now that they're both alone. While their connection is rekindled quickly, the difference in their stations incites gossip in the neighborhood and trepidation in her family. Matthew also has to decide if his detachment--learned through meditation at a monastery in the Himalayas--represents true happiness or a way to avoid the risks of intimacy. Dramatizing complex human emotions within a romance plot is a classic feature of Balogh's novels. She alternates her older protagonists' inner monologues with scenes of their time together, memories of past injuries, and social gatherings involving a vast array of characters. The result is a layered, slow-moving story best read in a reflective mood. A Regency romance that is light on sexuality and heavy on sentiment and self-assessment.
