Beverley has created another winner with this one. The mix of treason, deception and all out enmity in the intertwining aspects of the story make for an intriguing read. The author’s writing calls to mind the air of the time period. I found it easy to immerse myself in this step back. Beverley’s writing always has such a tongue in cheek feel to it. It never fails to make me giggle. I appreciate how well developed the Mallorens are as a family and as individuals. The differences between their situation and that of their peers really stands out without being dwelled on. Everyone stands out in their own way and on their own merits. At the same time, the main characters in this novel are absolutely priceless. Fort’s battle with his past, both what he’s lived through and what he’s done, colours his view of the world. Elf’s need for adventure endeared her to me. I love how she was willing to step out of the mould for women, while knowing she was doing so. Her utter belief in her family was something we all could do with. This novel was definitely Something Wicked. Beverley has created an unforgettable, adventurous, at times comical, and definitely romantic addition to the Mallorens series.

Fun read. This is probably the fourth time I have read this book and the entire Malloren Series. I enjoyed it very much, indeed as much as the first time. Jo Beverley's characters are always strong and the book plots well developed. The connections between the books in the series are brief and lightly done, but interesting because they are from the new primary characters' perspectives. Enjoyable.
