A Matter of Class

A Matter of Class
By Mary Balogh
Vanguard Press, 2010. 191 pgs. Romance

Reggie Mason's father has made his money in coal, something that has not endeared him to the higher classes in Regency society. However, he is determined that Reggie will be accepted as a gentleman by marrying him off to a titled woman, and Reggie's current wasteful behavior pushes him to act sooner rather than later. Opportunity arises when Lady Annabelle Ashton is caught running away with her father's groom. Disgraced, her beaux want nothing to do with her, but Reggie's father makes Lady Annabelle's father an offer he can't refuse, and soon, Reggie and Annabelle are betrothed. Little do their parents know that they have a secret of their own.

This book is predictable and nothing about it really made it stand out for me, but those who are looking for a quick guilty pleasure to read might like this one.
