Blog Tour: Enchant

Enchant by Micalea Smeltzer

Genre: Young Adult

Mara Pryce never imagined that her life was anything but normal and then a strange gray-eyed young man appears at her graduation. When he vanishes without a trace, she’s convinced he’s a figment of her imagination. Then he appears again and shatters her whole world.

Mara is an enchanter, part of an ancient line of Wiccan power, and a war is raging—one of good and evil—between the Enchanted and the Iniquitous.

The Iniquitous want her dead and it’s Theodore’s job as her protector to keep her safe.

When Mara and Theodore arrive at a safe house, where Mara will remain hidden while learning about her powers, they find that the real threat might be a little closer to home than they want to believe.

Review

This was my first Micalea Smeltzer book that I've read, but I have quite a few of her books on my to-read list. The premise and gorgeous cover of this book instantly caught my attention. Enchant was a quick read, and while some parts were predictable (in a good way), it was enjoyable. The action starts right off the bat and doesn't really stop. Mara was a likeable character and Theo was a good Protector. They both had their flaws but this made them more realistic (or as realistic as you can get in a book about magic 😜) and I liked seeing their relationship develop. The supporting characters were great additions to the story and learning about how the magic worked was interesting. I will eagerly await the next book in the series to see what happens next!

Book Review: Falling for a Duke

Goodreads Summary

From the publisher of the USA TODAY bestselling & #1 Amazon bestselling Timeless Romance Anthology series in Clean & Wholesome Romance, comes FALLING FOR A DUKE.

Three brand new Regency Romance novellas by Rebecca Connolly, Nichole Van, and Janelle Daniels

ON THE DUKE’S ERRAND by Rebecca Connolly. Lord David Chambers has one goal—to put his father’s Scotland estate to rights. Even if it means leaving in the middle of the London Season and avoiding the matchmakers. As the second son of a duke, David looks forward to facing the wilds of Scotland, and trying to make something of himself and prove his worth to his father. But David’s not prepared for the censure he receives from the local Scottish gentry, especially Ceana Shaw, the baronet’s daughter who not only mistakes him for the duke himself, she seems determined to think the worst of David. 

VINGT-ET-UN | TWENTY-ONE by Nichole Van. Eliza Mail had found the perfect place to live out her days as a young widow, away from the pain of her past and lost love. Seemingly by chance, Eliza’s childhood neighbor, Liam Trebor, Duke of Chawton, comes to her village for a visit. Eliza hasn’t seen Liam in over five years, and his presence panics her. Will he reveal what he knows to her friends and neighbors, destroying her current life? Eliza must avoid Liam at all costs, but he seems equally determined to flush her out of hiding. What happens if Eliza’s past does not stay where it belongs . . . in her past? 

I KISSED A DUKE by Janelle Daniels. Madeline Maybury will do anything to be invited into the inner circles of the ton. She takes on a challenge from a high society lady to kiss the Duke of Hargrave. When she finds Ethan alone and explains that she needs to kiss him, instead of turning her away, he’s amused. He also obliges. Madeline believes she can report back and achieve all of her ambitions. Instead, she’s given an even greater task. Once she accomplishes it, she realizes that the Duke of Hargrave is a very different man than she expected, and she’s in grave danger of falling in love.

Review

I sure am a sucker for these Timeless Regency stories. I have lost count of how many I have read (except not really because I  can always look on Goodreads 😜). There were three stories in this edition and each was better than the last. 

The first story was On the Duke's Errand by Rebecca Connolly. I haven't read any of her books but I'm sure I will in the future. I found this to be a sweet story. I loved how fiery Ceana was and David made me laugh multiple times. I hadn't really read a Regency dealing with land ownership and tenants and all the issues that can arise with that, so while this story was different, I enjoyed learning some new things.

The second story was Vingt-et-Un by Nichole Van. I have read two of Nichole's books and I absolutely love her writing! I loved this story, even though it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. It had the common misunderstanding trope often found in Regency but I enjoyed this story nonetheless. Eliza and Liam were so great. I would love to read more about them. 

The third story was I Kissed a Duke by Janelle Daniels. I haven't read any of her books either, and this story convinced me I need to. I hadn't read a Regency that involved some of what happened in this story (I don't want to give anything away :)) and it was pretty entertaining. Madeline and Ethan were also great characters that I would love to read more about.
