Christa truly shines in this fun, witty romance during the French Revolution. The Kingsley siblings shine, but Christa is the story’s heart. Mary Jo Putney has a talent for not letting plots get bogged down, even when circumstances are melancholy. This re-issue is well worth diving into.

Erica Vetsch – The Lost Lieutenant
Evan and Diana both have good reflexes, which is needed when they constantly react to others’ whims and demands. It doesn’t mean that they are pushovers. It’s tough to stand up to your abusive father or say no to a capricious ruler who considers you a new favorite. But watching them muddle through and prevail is well worth it.

The Black Unicorn is a fun, action-packed jaunt through the Magic Kingdom of Landover. The motley crew is back together, and Ben has his hands full fending off the newest and oldest threat to his crown.

Love triangles are messy things, and the one in this book is no exception. Fun characters and charming interactions keep this book from disaster, but it is not one of my favorites from Suzanne Enoch.

While this book has the usual first book growing pains, it sets the stage for a beautiful ongoing partnership. This book offers a unique view of Regency London, and I can’t wait to return.
