The Faery & the Halfling: Gaslamp Fantasy Romance
The queen of the Seelie has decreed it.
It is the winter of 1897, and the new queen of the Seelie has declared that the forgotten halflings residing in the human world should learn about their heritage, possibly even visit their homeland.
Chauncy, a full-blooded faery who has never crossed through the veil to the human world, has been assigned the task of seeking out these halflings. But first, he is required to spend a season on Mackinac Island, in the state of Michigan, USA.
He will live with a group of previously exiled fae who have resided there for nearly a decade, so they can teach him how to interact with humans.
Just as he is ready to start his assignment, he comes across his first halfling. A gorgeous, spirited woman who has been fumbling through life thinking she was a freak, when, in reality, she is a powerful, magical faery.
Sparks fly as Chauncy helps Adeline discover this about herself.
But there’s a problem.
The human who raised her doesn’t want to let her go. She’s too valuable. And this human is willing to go to great lengths to keep her under their thumb.
Including exposing the other faeries living on the island.
Which could get them all hanged.

This was such a sweet story, showing the meeting and early relationship of a male Fae and a female halfling (half Fae, half human).
Adeline, the FMC, had an extremely unkind past at the hands of her family, and right from the beginning it was clear she totally deserved a 'happily ever after'.
The plot had me easily gripped, and I quickly finished off this shorter read. There was some nice spice, and it complimented the plot well.
This was my book in the Fae in the Gilded Age series, but I didn't struggle to follow what was going on, having missed the first three books. I'll definitely be looking into picking those up to read too.

This was such a sweet story. It's the fourth book in the series and I enjoyed the main characters and also the reappearance of the characters from the earlier books but it can also be read as a standalone without getting to lost.
