Delicious, clever, compelling

I'm obsessed with this book. I've recommended it to everyone I know who loves regency fantasies. I loved it so much that when I finished the eBook, I bought the print copy and was shocked. No wonder I was up untill 4:45 AM on a work night knowing I'm going to have to get kiddos to school and myself and a husband to work at 8 am... this book is huge! Totally worth it. I loved the world-building, the Bennet family's relationship with the Fae, the slow burn between Darcy and Elizabeth...everything.

A delightful, cozy, charming, two-evening comedy-of-manners read where we get to see what Mr Aubrey was so desperate to discover when the events of Scales & Sensibility waylaid him. You don't need to read the first book, but I did think thid book more entertaining knowing what Aubrey knew, and Rose didn't know, and waiting to see how it would all come out.

I really enjoyed the dragons in this book, they somehow reminded me of my dearly departed dogs. If this had been a Heyer story, it might have been about illegal dog handling instead of dragons, which really lent credibility to the story. I love this type of low fantasy story, and it's a cute way to jump into fantasy if you're typically a Regency historical fan.
