It is the turn of the 19th century and England has a new
craze on their hands with those who can contact loved ones
that have department the Earth. Lord Greyson Sheffield works
as a special prosecutor for the Lord Chief Justice where he
exposes these frauds. The need to ruin these charlatans
consumes him ever since his father was as victim of one when
he was just a boy. He is able to expose yet another
spiritualist who uses his wife as his accomplice. There is
something about Francesca Walcott that brings out Greyson's
protective nature. When he finds out that her lying husband
has been killed, he goes to her, but she has left London and
disappeared to places unknown.
It has been six years since Francesca, now known simply as
Fanny was given a new lease on life. She has left her old
life of tricking people behind and resides in the small town
of Little Firkin, Scotland. There she is the companion to
Amelie Chase, a young girl who is believed to be a witch.
Amelie's father, who was once Fanny's neighbor, came to
Fanny after she was exposed and asked her to watch over his
daughter who he believed had supernatural powers. He felt
Fanny could help Amelie control her powers because Fanny has
a great control of her own. Even though she is known as
being a hoax, Fanny has a way to with animals. The Colonel
gave her a way out all those years ago and other then the
villagers acting a bit wary when it comes to Amelie,
everything is better than Fanny could ever imagine. That is
until Greyson and his nephew Hayden come to Little Firkin.It

villagers acting a bit wary when it comes to Amelie,
everything is better than Fanny could ever imagine. That is
until Greyson and his nephew Hayden come to Little
Firkin.
Greyson and Hayden are sent to see Amelie because Hayden's
father is Amelie's guardian since her father died. An
anonymous letter was sent stating that Amelie's life is in
danger. Both Greyson and Hayden go to investigate. The men
are dumbfounded when they meet Amelie and Fanny. Hayden is
dumbstruck by the beauty and personality of Amelie, while
Greyson cannot believe that this Fanny is the same one who
affected him so many years ago. Fanny would love nothing
more for Greyson to leave and even though Greyson can't wait
to find the culprit, he can't help but enjoy the teasing and
banter he has with Fanny.
Greyson and Fanny have to keep a strong eye on Hayden and
Amelie who are so young and passionate, as well as finding
the person responsible who may want to harm Amelie. All of a
sudden, strange accidents start to happen and soon Fanny and
Greyson are the ones who have to start looking over their
shoulders. Is there something supernatural force at play or
someone who is out to cause harm to a young girl and the
woman who treats her as her own daughter?
SO ENCHANTING is a trademark Connie Brockway historical.
Just like the title states, SO ENCHANTING is enchanting! The
dialogue is witty and so engaging, especially between
Greyson and Fanny. One minute they are ready to come to
blows, the next they are in a passionate embrace and kissing
each other like there is no tomorrow. Amelie and Hayden's
romance is the complete opposite of what Greyson and Fanny
have. These two young lovers are sweet and tender with one
another and their internal thoughts will crack you up.
Hayden thinks Amelie is the perfect woman while Amelie, who
is very much still immature, wants to experience the world
and life in general.
There is quite a twist with Amelie and the outcome of her
special abilities. The relationship she has with Fanny is
very special and caring. The town of Little Firkin and the
residents there are very quirky and unique. They are a
superstitious bunch and the town witch feels threatened by
Amelie because as we all know, a small town can only have a
witch, not two.
Every single one of Connie Brockway's historicals are so
incredible well written and the same goes for SO ENCHANTING.
Don't let this one pass you by.
The Scottish hamlet of Little Firkin has one important
industry: the guardianship of Amelie Chase, a witchling
banished by the ton for her alleged supernatural powers, and
entrusted by her benefactor to Fanny Walcott.
But the scheme is hitting a snag: Little Firkin is cramping
Amelie’s style, anonymous notes are threatening her life,
and now, two handsome travelers arrive with tantalizing
links to the pasts of both women. And what’s happening in
Little Firkin is so enchanting, it’s going to take a leap of
faith to believe it.
