Balogh is back to her talented roots, giving readers deep characterization with interesting conflicts pushing the story along. They cannot make the same accusation with Someone to Romance. Matilda Westcott has spent her life tending to the needs of her mother, the Dowager Countess of Riverdale, never questioning the life of solitude she has spun for herself. I read some of the responses to Baloghs novella, Someone to Remember, that insisted that there was too much internal dialogue and not enough plot.
