Review--Currently Unchaperoned, Regency with a Twist, 5 Stars

Currently Unchaperoned, a new release by Australian author Heidi Wessman Kneale, is a Regency with a twist--magic! 

This delightful, funny, nonstop story almost unfolds in real time. All but the last chapter takes place over one night when Felicity Abbot decides to sneak into the neighbor's ball because she's tired of waiting to properly 'come out.' Her imagination has built up an expectation of a glittering assembly of dancing, delicious food, and witty banter with maybe a hint or two of scandalous gossip. What she unearths is scandal indeed, but not at all the way she expected.

Victor Wyndell would rather be anywhere else but at this party, but his mother has press-ganged him into to searching for 'The Agreement,' something so scandalous she won't even tell him what it looks like or whom it concerns, only that it could ruin their family. He's not looking for a bride either, but he keeps running--literally--into one captivating young miss.

What follows is something out of Cinderella and The Bridgertons (Netflix) enhanced by a Regency world in which people use magic charms to achieve their aims. Poor Felicity has only one skill, which hardly seems consequential--she can't even see magic unless it's pointed out to her--but over the course of the night she'll learn a bit more about how to use her ability.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It lives up to its captivating blurb. Check it out here: Kindle
