Alicia Cameron - Felicity and the Damaged Reputation Review

I have just finished the Alicia Cameron book Felicity and the Damaged Reputation. A beautiful fast-paced book, Alicia Cameron's books increasingly remind me of Georgette Heyer. This one has a distinct feel of Arabella about it. A poor beautiful kind girl about town and a rich distinguished suitor. The book has some lovely characters and stays genuine to many regency details including a Bow Street Runner with their typical rough language, mention of Gothic romances, tyrant eccentric old relative, etc etc.

After having a read a few of Cameron's books, I would like to read them again. They are fun, the heroes elegant and the plots are reasonable and fast.

Loretta Chase - English Witch

Like all Loretta Chase novels the English Witch doesn't disappoint. I had got both the Viscount Vagabond and the English Witch together. After the delicious perusing of Viscount Vagabond - English Witch didn't disappoint me.

 Alexandra Ashmore is the English Witch. So called because she bewitched every eligible, honorable or dishonorable young bachelor who came her way in far flung Albania. The daughter of noted traveller Sir Charles Ashmore, Alexandra finds herself betrothed to Randolph Burnham, her father's travel partner and fellow historian, against her wishes. As Alexandra well knew, Randolph's 'beloved family existed in the remnants on ancient times'!

Then Alexandra gets kidnapped by a besotted Albanian beau and hero Basil Trevelyan literally rides in out of the blue to rescue her on his mount.

The story of Basil and Alexandra is supported by a host of well etched characters including an eloping Duke, interfering family and house parties in the true spirit of English ton and in a traditional regency setting.
