Synopsis: A prim and proper lady
thief must save her aunt from a crazed pirate and his dangerously
charming henchman in this fantastical historical romance.
Cecilia
Bassingwaite is the ideal Victorian lady. She's also a thief. Like the
other members of the Wisteria Society crime sorority, she flies around
England drinking tea, blackmailing friends, and acquiring treasure by
interesting means. Sure, she has a dark and traumatic past and an
overbearing aunt, but all things considered, it's a pleasant existence.
Until the men show up.
Ned Lightbourne is a sometimes assassin
who is smitten with Cecilia from the moment they meet. Unfortunately,
that happens to be while he's under direct orders to kill her. His
employer, Captain Morvath, who possesses a gothic abbey bristling with
cannons and an unbridled hate for the world, intends to rid England of
all its presumptuous women, starting with the Wisteria Society. Ned has
plans of his own. But both men have made one grave mistake. Never
underestimate a woman.
When Morvath imperils the Wisteria
Society, Cecilia is forced to team up with her handsome would-be
assassin to save the women who raised her--hopefully proving, once and
for all, that she's as much of a scoundrel as the rest of them. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: This was such a fun time! I was initially pulled in by the really pretty cover (good job design team!). I love the wisteria purple color they used. GORGEOUS! I knew I had to read it once I read the synopsis. It just sounded like a lot of fun, and it was a lot of fun.
This book is pretty much a blast from start to finish. It has so much going on in it. There's thieves, pirates, regency romance! It has all the bells and whistles, it's fantastic.
I had so much fun reading this. I'd say zany is a good word to describe it. You know you're in for a good time right with that opening scene, and it keeps up the good time throughout the whole book.
I can't wait to see what happens next. I like it a lot. More books like this one please.
India Holton lives in New Zealand, where she's enjoyed the typical Kiwi lifestyle of wandering around forests, living barefoot on islands, and messing about in boats. Now she lives in a cottage near the sea, writing books about unconventional women and charming rogues, and drinking far too much tea.
