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!

Series” The Winemakers, #5

Release Date: December 4, 2024

Six years ago, Miss Elizabeth “Beth” Croft was jilted by her fiancé and has had no other offers, but now her father is demanding she wed. Her father is an English gentleman and wine importer living in Portugal and was once the most successful importer in Oporto, but now he is ill and tittering on the edge of bankruptcy. He tells Beth she will have to marry Portugal’s premiere winemaker, Boyd Sandeman and sends her to meet with Boyd and to make an offer to merge their companies through marriage. With no choice, Beth goes to meet with Boyd and is shocked when he demands that she spend the Christmas holiday with him at his estate, where he will subject her to challenges to determine if she will be a suitable wife.

Transplanted Scotsman, Boyd Sandeman is a self-made man, who unbeknownst to Beth has been nurturing a grudge against her father for many years and with her proposal finally has the perfect opportunity to enact his revenge by rejecting and humiliating Beth in front of society. He invites his friends to join them, including Beth’s former fiancé Griffin Maxwell and his wife Julia, who he assumes will help him with his plan. But nothing goes as planned and soon Boyd realizes he has made a huge mistake, but is it too late to make things right, or has he lost his chance for a true HEA?

This was a great story! I am typically not a fan of revenge stories, but this was so well done, that I loved it! Boyd and Beth are wonderful characters, and I wanted them to find happiness together. This story has laugh out loud moments, revenge, meddling friends, steamyish love scenes, and finally a very sweet happy ending complete with an epilogue. Overall, this was a delightful read with a happy ending and a story that I would be happy to recommend. While this is part of a series, it can easily be read as a standalone title with no problems.
