Bits and pieces of my life, set between the pages of the books I can't seem to put down...maybe a few book reviews, projects I'm working on, and just general musings

Review: Elizabeth, The Enchantress
Elizabeth, The Enchantress by Lavinia Kent
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
From Goodreads: Regency England just got real(ity)
Episode 4: How to Succeed in Marriage without Really Trying
Elizabeth, the Countess of Westhampton, has found her husband. Unfortunately, she’d have preferred it if he’d stayed lost! How is she supposed to react when the man who married her and then abandoned her without a wedding night suddenly reappears? Obviously, she’ll have to plan her revenge very carefully…
My Thoughts: I've read a couple of these novellas now, all are fun quick reads. If they were full-length books, I'd probably go back and try to read the ones I've missed, but as I don't normally read novellas, I may have to just try to let my imagination fill in the blanks. They're enjoyable for a number of reasons, but mostly because Kent does a good job of ensuring that even in a novella length that there's a story and character development. This was a fun one, as the "evil" one of the group of women who make up the heroines had her turn in the spotlight. The redemption of the bad girl is essentially the theme...finding out why she is the way she is, and then how she moves forward. Another fun, quick read from Kent, so far I'd recommend this whole series.

Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed. They were the first novellas I've written and were a fun break from full length romances, but I am looking forward to going back to something longer. Lavinia
