All Knight Long (Wanton Wallflower's Escapades)All Knight Long by Giovanna Siniscalchi

Tracy’s Rating: 4 of 5 stars

Series: Wanton Wallflower’s Escapades, #1

Release Date: June 18, 20205

Wanton Wallflower, a member of the Flowery Spinsters, a group of brilliant misfits, and deliciously improper women. When the group receives a book “The Lady’s Guide to Lost Time” from a Romanian countess, claiming time travel could be achieved at Stonehenge during the Spring equinox. The group volunteers Wanton to see if the claim is true.

Wanton is thrown back in time and ends up being branded a witch and sentenced to be burned at the stake, but thankfully, she is saved when the Perfect Knight challenges the sentence and jousts for her freedom. After easily winning against the Dark Knight, Perfect Knight sweeps Wanton off her feet, quite literally! He takes her back to his castle and claims his reward for saving her – a reward Wanton freely gives. But she can’t stay in the past and lucky for her, the countess visited her Knight and he holds the key to help her return to her time – eventually…

This was a short, sexy and sometimes silly novella with fun characters. Is it a traditional Regency romance? No. Does it adhere to the period’s etiquette? Again, No. Is it super steamy with a HEA? Nope. Is it a fun read with lots of witty banter and some warmish love scenes? YES! So, if you are looking for a quick, escape-type read that will make you laugh, this book is for you! This is the first book in the adventures of Wanton Wallflower, but I believe this will be a series that can read in any order, and I am looking forward to finding out what Wanton does next!

The Wedding Witch (The Ex Hex, #3)The Wedding Witch by Erin Sterling

Tracy’s Rating: 4.5 of 5 stars

Series: Grave’s Glen, #3

Release Date: October 8, 2024

After a spell goes horribly wrong and his best friend Declan is lost, Welshman and powerful witch, Bowen Penhallow dedicated himself to finding a way to reverse it. It has been ten years, and he is no closer to an answer, but he does have a plan, which will require the exclusive services of the best “Acquirer” he has ever worked with – TLB Acquisitions, Ltd. He sets up a meeting and is astounded to learn that the “T” of TLB is a gorgeous American woman, Tamsyn Bligh.

Tamsyn agrees to an exclusive contract with him, and she makes it clear that she doesn’t mix business with pleasure, but she also can’t resist a kiss under the mistletoe! And so, begins their relationship, for the next year they work together without meeting. As the Yule holiday approaches, Bowen makes plans to join his brothers and their significant others for the holiday in Georgia, leaving Tamsyn with time on her hands, time she decides to put to good use. Never expecting their paths to cross at a wedding in Wales or being sent back in time to 1957. Together they will have to work together to make their way back to 2024 and hopefully find their own HEA along the way.

I loved, loved, loved this book and finished it in a day! This is a new-to-me author and a genre that I rarely read – I love paranormal/fantasy romance, and I usually tend to choose historicals over contemporaries, but the blurb for this book caught my attention (which is saying a lot as I am not a fan of time travel) and I am so happy I requested it! This book pulled me out of a reading rut and sold me on a new sub-genre! This book has it all; mystery, witches, spells, grumpy/sexy hero, a vivacious/feisty heroine, witty dialogue, great secondary characters, second chances, steamy love scenes, surprising revelations and finally a very happy ending complete with an epilogue. This was the third book in the series, but I hadn’t read the previous books (but now I want to!) and had no trouble understanding the relationship between the characters, so it could easily be read as a standalone title. I really enjoyed the book and will be checking out the previous books and watching for upcoming books – Highly recommended!
