COPY ISBN
Miss Charlotte Pettifer is skilled in the subtle art of witchcraft, a word that is not to be spoken aloud in polite society. She and a small group of women use magic to tidy up the world, very much unlike their less reputable counterparts, the Wisteria Society. When an amulet goes missing, Charlotte teams up with pirate Alex O’Riley, a rogue, to keep the amulet out of dangerous hands. They find not only the amulet but love as well. This historical romance with a large dose of wit is a hilarious romp through proper English society. Narrator Elizabeth Knowelden handles the romantic sparring between the protagonists as well as the novel’s more upright characters with ease.
VERDICT This second installment in the “Dangerous Damsels” series from Holton (The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels) can also be read as a stand-alone and will appeal to fans of Jane Austen who aren’t afraid to also poke fun at her writing. A perfect addition to any romance collection.
