Good depictions of what Britain was like after the Norman (a.k.a) Viking invasion. Loved the main characters and how they survived the brutal world they inhabited.

Miss Mildred Percy has no wish to go to London. Unfortunately, her niece, Belinda, has recently absconded from Nyth y Ddraig with 1) a newly hatched white dragon, 2) over a dozen (unhatched) dragon eggs, and 3) an extraordinary surfeit of hubris. All clues lead to London, and so Mildred and company have no choice but to follow her to town. But retrieving a hoard of dragon eggs in the middle of a vast city is no easy task, especially when confronted with such impediments as journalism, pelicans, and a certain Prince Regent.

Story
Determined to locate a kidnapped dog, Michael Bromley, Duke of Woriton, isn’t thrilled to be saddled with a flighty female insisting on helping, except that Bitsy has a great deal more sense than he expected—and a sharp tongue to match. Still, what’s a scientist to do but continue to pursue an outcome, however unexpected it may be? But chemistry is all about attraction, and this is one formula with some hilariously romantic results.

Reviewed: 10-22-23
Not only is the book well plotted, the narrator is excellent. Enoch plausibly incorporates number of threads in the plot, from the Evil narcissist, an isolated genius hero and to a very likable heroine. Aspects of the class system enrich the plot as well. Altogether most satisfactory.

Story
When the two plainest people in London enter into an arranged marriage, the ton isn't so much surprised as counting the days to an arranged separation. Louise is too short, too dull, and too dowdy, and the earl is positively frightening, with his frowning demeanor and massive shoulders. He's willing to marry her because he doesn't expect a dowdy wife to impact his lifestyle and other relationships. She's willing to marry him because ugly and unmannerly as he is, she is—for some unaccountable reason—drawn to the man.

I looked forward to trying out Sandra Sookoo’s new Romane but could not enjoy it as I decided to go for the Audible audio. Unfortunately, I found Amelia Rose’s narration difficult to listen to as it was very fast, without nuanced language , and actually rather mumbled.
