When Love visits Ravenhead Hall, sparks fly…quite literally.
Miss Rea Abernathy only wants to honor the family who has taken her under their wing, rescuing her from a life of poverty. But thanks to two determined suitors, she finds herself in a state far worse than the one from which her benefactress saved her.
When Mr. Sedgwick Whitby sets his sights on his mother’s sweet-tempered pig keeper, his orderly life is thrown into chaos: Rea’s station is less–than-desirable, and another gentleman may be pursuing her. Hoping to get his annoyingly charming twin brother out of the way, Sedgwick purchases a simple curse from a disreputable faery which consequently plunges them all into a misfortune far more serious than troubles of the heart.
With time running out to break the curse and tempers flying high, can Sedgwick and Rea set things right and find love after all? Regency meets dragons in this frolicking fantasy romance about a comely pig keeper, two wealthy gentlemen, and the curse binding them all together. Perfect for fans of Jane Austen, Diana Wynne Jones, and Gail Carson Levine.
Best to be mindful of what you wish for.
Curse and Consequence by Savannah Jezowksi is a cheerful story that has a moral tale in it. Everyone has heard the saying about choices and consequences, and this story takes that on a lot. The main male character made a choice, and now he has to deal with the result of that choice. Well unless he can fix it.
Sedgwick Whitby
Sedgwick Whitby is the second born twin of the Whitby family and is the main male character. He spends most of his time pining after Rea Abernathy and trying to keep his twin brother out of trouble. Sedgwick knows he won’t get the title or the fortune, but he does want everything to be good for the family. He wants his happiness, and that is to court Rea with Rea and his mom’s blessing, of course, since Rea is staying with his family. Sedgwick is a complicated fellow, but that goes with his charm. He reveals himself slowly through the reading, and it’s an excellent way to get to know him.
Rea Abernathy
Rea Abernathy has a complicated past and a hidden heritage that she doesn’t want anyone to know. She is the complete opposite of Sedgwick with a loving nature, and she doesn’t mind getting dirty, as opposed to being clean all the time. Rea deals with a lot throughout the story, but she takes it all in strides especially since she can’t badmouth the brothers as she is staying in their home thanks to her dad losing his title, money, clothes, and house. Rea doesn’t blame him and is happy where she is at. She slowly reveals her hidden heritage but only when she really needs to.
Five Stars
Curse and Consequence by Savannah Jezowksi is a great starter book for this new series. Ms. Jezowksi did an excellent job of creating this cast of characters, the world that they inhabit, and the moral of the story. I am giving this book five stars and recommending it to everyone that reads Historical Romance, and Regency books.
