Clever word play, delightful double entendres, and adventurous high jinks will delight fans of smart, witchy romances Your world is so inventive and fun! What were your inspirations? Was there anything specific you wanted to change about the Victorian period? Why did you decide to blend history and fantasy? This book disturbed my peace in the most criminally delightful manner. The series is fantastic. I’m pining away for book three as we speak ✨
A brilliant mix of adventure, romance, and Oscar Wildesque absurdity - one of the wittiest, most original rom coms I have read all year." --Evie Dunmore, USA Today bestselling author of Bringing Down the Duke I loved following Charlotte's journey throughout this story. You get to watch her come into her own and develop her confidence and strength. It was so much fun following her and I adored her a main character. Fantastical, romantic fun! Sparkling with witty allusions to Shakespeare and Austen, whimsical adventure, and tenderhearted romance, The League of Gentlewomen Witches is a book lover’s dream come true.” —Chloe Liese, author of the Bergman Brothers series
Jane Austen's heroines, begged for assistance, offered bewildered silence. Unless he tried to propose marriage, they were at a loss as to how she might defeat him.” The plot is pretty simple, the pirate and the witch hunting for an amulet for their own purposes. Both enemies to each other, find themselves in a position where they become allies. It sounds good but I had problems with it in the sense, that except for the romance I had zero interest in the amulet which was a major part of the plot. It was supposedly very powerful and blah blah blah but all I cared about was the romance, which India Holton does write well. The League of Gentlewomen Witches is a fun and unique addition to India Holton’s Dangerous Damsels series. The story combines two of my favorite genres, fantasy and historical romance, and it is an entertaining read! Charlotte Pettifer is the future leader of a league of women who practice witchcraft, and she is determined to retrieve a recently discovered, powerful amulet before it gets into the wrong hands. Enter Alex O’Riley, pirate extraordinaire and definitely the wrong hands. However, with so many others trying to get the amulet, Charlotte and Alex agree to work together to steal it. If you could cast your own League of Gentlewomen Witches, which famous witches (fictional or historical) would you include in your magical girl gang? How does this book compare to The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels ? There’s still a grand sense of adventure, but what else can returning readers expect?
Alex was everything I wanted in a swoony pirate. He's charming and smooth but secretly a big softy (especially for Charlotte). Their chemistry and banter was fantastic and I swooned the whole way through. This novel is filled with the same wit and humor as The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels and is just as enjoyable as the first.Recommended for: HR and/or fantasy readers, Janeites, romance lovers, enemies to lovers fans, readers familiar with Victorian/Romantic lit, anyone looking for a good laugh Turning, they found Bixby shaking his head with exasperation. 'I beg your pardon,' he said without the least hint of apology in his voice, 'but is this a romance or is it an adventure? For I will remind you, we are missing the ongoing action.'" Two talented chess players challenge each other on and off the board in bestselling author Hazelwood’s YA debut. The League of Gentlewomen Witches is the second book in the Dangerous Damsels trilogy by India Holton and it is a superbly entertaining sequel. With playful dialogue, openly crafty characters and a sizzling romance, this is truly a tale to enchant its readers. A brilliant mix of adventure, romance, and Oscar Wildesque absurdity – one of the wittiest, most original rom coms I have read all year.” —Evie Dunmore, USA Today bestselling author of Bringing Down the Duke
Holton takes readers on a wild ride through a fun, limitless world, where frivolity and whimsy reign supreme and skilled swordwork and grand displays of magic abound Genres: Fiction / Romance / Fantasy, Fiction / Romance / Historical / Victorian, Fiction / Romance / Romantic Comedy India Holton's joyous, swoony, genre-exploding novel is a marvel, bristling with wit (and weaponry!) and brimming with love. The League of Gentlewomen Witches will steal your heart, fly it to the moon, and return it to your chest, sparking with magic and just in time for tea I’ve always felt that bookish, introverted and sensitive women can be just as powerful as the warrior type . . .” Filled with wit and an intriguing enemy-to-lovers romance. For fans of Jane Austen and Evie Dunmore.” —LibraryReadsI’m in the middle of Two Wrongs Make a Right by Chloe Liese, which is a truly delightful rom-com due out this fall. And I’ve also started If You Ask Me by Libby Hubscher, which is a charming, hilarious rom-com. This series is so fantastic!! I love how quirky, funny, and unique this world is and I can't get enough of it. These characters - especially Alex - stole my whole heart.
