MISCHIEF BY MOONLIGHT by Emily Greenwood is a delightfully
fun historical romance. Author Emily Greenwood balances
Colin and Josie's sense of duty and loyalty with a sweet
romance that develops under difficult circumstances.
Nicholas is never far from either of their minds. They truly
do love him. Colin and Nicholas's friendship is true and
it's wonderfully written. They are brothers in spirit if not
in fact. Josie and her sister, Edwina, are a nice complement
to each other, also. Josie is out-going and social, while
Edwina cultivates a cool, disdainful personality. They watch
out for each other and only want the best for their family.
It is this sense of family duty and loyalty that pulls the
threads of this story together, creating complex
relationship patterns and true conflict.
My heart ached for these two lovers as they struggled to do
what was right for themselves, for their families, and for
those they loved, but let's not forget the fun! MISCHIEF BY
MOONLIGHT delivers flirty banter, love potions with very
humorous side effects, declarations of passion, and an
intervention that is unbelievably inventive. Emily Greenwood
gives her readers exactly what they want with MISCHIEF BY
MOONLIGHT: sweet romance, real conflict, a little mischief,
and the promise of more books in this charming series.
