In conclusion Barbara Cartland books are great to escape
into – regency England, Elizabethan England, far of countries you have never
heard of… They are fluffy and you can read them knowing that there will be a
very happy ending. Sure none of them are perfect and there is always – more often
than not – something that annoys me in them (hero, heroine, something niggley)
but they are addictive. They are quick happy reads and you don’t pick them up
expecting to read Charles Dickens.
I have Barbara Cartland to thank for finding a few more of
my favourite authors.

It was while looking for a Barbara Cartland novel that I
stumbled across Marion Chesney’s Sweet Masquerade at the library. Marion
Chesney is one of the many pen-names used by M.C. Beaton who is better
known for her Hamish Macbeth and Agatha Raisin novels. She has a gorgeously
long back list. I have already read her Traveling Matchmaker series and I have
the Six Sister and School for Manners books on my TBR pile.

I also found Georgette Heyer through searching for ‘Authors
like…’ and These Old Shades by
Georgette Heyer is one of my ultimate favourites.
So guys, if you want a happily ever after filled with
sweetness and goodness find yourself a Barbara Cartland and settle in for a
sappy happy read!
