Assessment:
Literary magic takes widowed Jane Austen fan Eliza James to Regency England for a chance to win the heart of the likewise-bereaved Deveric Mattersley, Duke of Claremont, in this charming time-travel romance. Despite the unlikely premise, the unforced unfolding of this magically-created romance is refreshing. Though Eliza is more prone to anachronisms than one would expect from an Austen fan and there are some errors in historical detail, the author has effectively captured the emotional essence of a historical romance and created an engaging love story that will leave readers eager for more of the series.
