Dangerous Alliance: An Austentacious Romance
by Jennieke Cohen
Review: I have been into the regency romance genre lately, so when I saw this book at my local bookstore, I could not resist purchasing it! I’m really glad I did 😊
I think what I like most about this book is that it goes beyond just romance. There were elements of mystery throughout the plot that made the novel all the more intriguing and engaging. The mystery and the romance make for quite a dangerous combination, because once I began reading, i could not stop until I was finished.
Another aspect I appreciated was how the book paid homage to Jane Austen! The story takes place during the regency period after Austen’s many works were published. Victoria “Vicky” Aston, the story’s protagonist, strives to emulate Jane Austen’s beloved characters. in the end, however, she branches out and decides to simply be herself. I thought this was a great twist because most Austen remakes are crafted to reflect modern times. It was refreshing to see “Dangerous Alliance” break the mold and model as “an Austenscious romance” before becoming something completely new and different.
This isn’t your typical regency romance, which makes reading “Dangerous Alliance” all the more magical 💘
