This series had been in my TBR for longer than it deserved. There is a lot to love in these books, including: pirates, witches, damsels, rakes, sweetness, spice, and Regency romance flair. Pick this up when you want a slow read with great banter and a dash of magic.
The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels
Cecilia Bassingwaite is the ideal Victorian lady, but she is also a thief. Like the other members of the Wisteria Society crime sorority, she flies around England drinking tea, blackmailing friends, and acquiring treasure. Ned Lightbourne is a sometimes assassin who is smitten with Cecilia. Unfortunately, he is under direct orders to kill her. Ultimately, Cecilia is forced to team up with her would-be assassin to save the women who raised her. Could love be in the air, too?
★★★★☆
The League of Gentlewomen Witches
Miss Charlotte Pettifer belongs to a secret league of women skilled in the subtle art of witchcraft. Using magic, members of The League of Gentlewomen Witches tidy and correct according to their notions of what is proper, unlike those in the Wisteria Society. When the lost amulet of Black Beryl is discovered, it is up to Charlotte to make sure the talisman does not fall into the wrong hands. So, it is unfortunate when she crosses paths with pirate Alex O’Riley. Soon, they conspire to steal the amulet. Can they keep their pickpocketing hands to themselves?
★★★★☆
The Secret Service of Tea and Treason
Known as Agent A, Alice is the top operative within the Agency of Undercover Note Takers, a secret government intelligence group. Nothing is beyond Alice’s capabilities. So, when rumors of an assassination plot begin to circulate, she’s immediately assigned to the case. Then Daniel Bixby, Alice’s greatest rival, is given the most challenging undercover assignment of his life—pretending to be Alice’s husband. Together they will infiltrate a party, but can they fight their attraction for each other?
