If you enjoy Regency romances, Mary Balogh is always a reliable read. A Matter of Class (#58) is almost more of a novella than a full length book, and can easily be read in one sitting. Lady Annabelle has disgraced herself and broken the engagement to an heir of a duke arranaged by her father by running away with the family's coachman.
Reginald Mason in the meantime has been equally busy spending his father's hard earned fortune on frivolous things. When Mr. Mason senior decides he's had enough, he decrees that Reginald will marry Lady Annabelle, daughter of the earl next door, or be cut off.
The Masons will get their feet on the rungs of Society's ladder while saving both the earl from financial disaster and Annabell from social ostracism while settling down their bachelor son to boot. The senior Mr. Mason is happy, but is anyone else? You'll have to read this one to find out the neat twist at the end. After all, that's what guilty pleasures are for!
