I seriously ADORED the whole setup once I got into the story and started to understand everything. The plot was over the top and bananas fun.
Attractive Irish pirate that is rogue-ish. Plus all of the Jane Austen moments? LOVED IT! Don’t even get me started on how much I loved Alex. I know that Holton writes in her acknowledgements that she wasn’t supposed to be likable but I loved Charlotte. AND THEN THE FALL!Ĭharlotte has been raised strictly and her overcoming that was so enjoyable to watch. I loved the insta-lust situation and “we’re only doing this to get over this” mentality. The setup between witches and pirates being sworn enemies and then with Charlotte and Alex, I’m sold. Look, I’m all about that forbidden romance. I really don’t know how to describe it but if Monty Python and the Princess Bride included witches and flying houses and a lot more romance. But it is a joy to read and once you get into the flow of the prose it is hilarious. Don’t go into this expecting a super serious, high angst novel because this is decidedly not it. The League of Gentlewomen Witches is a beautiful combination of historical romance, fantasy, and so much wit. It’s quirky and just an incredible amount of fun to read. The League of Gentlewomen Witches Review:
If only they could keep their pickpocketing hands to themselves! If Alex’s not careful, he might just steal something else-such as Charlotte’s heart. With all the world scrambling after the amulet, Alex and Charlotte join forces to steal it together. Therefore, it is most unfortunate when she crosses paths with Alex O’Riley, a pirate who is no Mr. When the long lost amulet of Black Beryl is discovered, it is up to Charlotte, as the future leader of the League, to make sure the powerful talisman does not fall into the wrong hands. Using magic, they tidy, correct, and manipulate according to their notions of what is proper, entirely unlike those reprobates in the Wisteria Society. The League of Gentlewomen Witches strives to improve the world in small ways.
That is to say-although it must never be said- witchcraft. Miss Charlotte Pettifer belongs to a secret league of women skilled in the subtle arts.
