Enchanted Rendezvous

by Rebecca Ward

If Lord Brandon was in any way heroic, pigs would commence to fly! Though Cecily Vervain had not glimpsed his face in the dark, the mysterious gentleman who came to her midnight rescue was strong, brave, and daring, a true hero. He was most unlike her aunt's houseguest, Lord Brandon-a laughable figure, a dandy on the strut, a tippy, a bandbox treasure. Cecily felt she should dismiss him as such. Almost, but not quite. There was the look she had caught passing between his valet and himself. And then there was the keen irony of his wit. To complicate matters, the Dorset coast was swarming with smugglers. Could it be that Brandon's foppish act hid the cold-blooded heart of a criminal--or worse, a traitor? Smuggler, fop, of knave, Cecily was determined to discover the real man, whoever he was....

[Alexis Lee · Rating 2 out of 5]

I suppose that the book could warrant 3.5 stars, but if I'm following the goodreads rating system, I'll have to give a three for 'I liked it'.
That was all it was really, a 'likable' book, just above average. It didn't deliver all that its promising premise promised (tongue twister?) and while there were no obvious faults in the two leads, (too perfect?) I didn't feel very much drawn in to their stories, their backgrounds, or the plot. In fact, I think I started to like the Hero's father more than the hero himself, and this was strange as we only started to meet him towards the very end of the book.
In fact, if I start thinking too hard about it, I'm pretty sure I'd be disappointed with the book because it failed to deliver.
Still, it was a good enough (short!) read over dinner.

It was an ok read. Had some funny bits which is what I look for in a regency romance. I own it and plan to keep it.

A quick, clean (kisses) traditional regency. Free on Amazon Unlimited - I wouldn't pay extra $ for it.

Pleasant read on a layover in Chicago.
