As
a fan of every
Elizabeth Boyle historical romance ever written, His Mistress By
Morning was as usual, an enjoyable read, but with a surprising
paranormal twist, which made the story even more interesting. Charlotte
has a long time romantic crush on Lord Sebastian, Viscount Trent. As
she visits her friend Lady Hermione, Sebastian's sister, she finds
herself wishing she could be like the ladies who turn Sebastian's head.
She wakes up finding herself in Sebastian's bed, but as his mistress,
not his wife - which is her true wish. She soon realizes that it is the
magic powers of the recent ring willed to her by her aunt that has the
power to have provided her with this wish. The story is sensual with a
bit of magic, making this story even more interesting and hard to put
down. At the end, when Charlotte and Sebastian are back in the present
world, Charlotte discovers she has the real power from her past
experience with the magic of the ring to truly make Sebastian hers, and
in the way she really dreams, as his wife. This story is fun, sensual
and magical and definitely in the same caliber as the rest of Ms.
Boyle's historical romances. I look forward to the remaining books
about the Marlowe Family Tree.
