About this ebook

Calatini is a kingdom suffused with magic. But strong spells come with high prices...

Wren prefers a simple life of writing, reading, and volunteering at the orphanage to fashionable parties and balls at court. If she attends at all, it's because Hawke, the best friend she's secretly loved forever, convinces her. So when she learns his mother has arranged his marriage, she knows she must act. All she desires is a single night in Hawke's arms, so though she distrusts magic, Wren turns to a witch to create the perfect masquerade disguise infused in an enchanted bird.

Lord Beza—Hawke, to his friends—is a notorious rake, but he can't stop thinking about the mysterious lady who seduced him at the summer masquerade then disappeared. Fortunately, she left behind a clue: a small enchanted bird. And his clever best friend Wren will surely help him in his search—after all, wouldn't she want him to find love?

Never having dreamt Hawke would hunt for her, Wren is desperate to convince him to forget his "mysterious" lady—otherwise the enchanted bird will extract a growing price from them both. But their night of passion is impossible for either of them to forget...

The Enchanted Bird is heartwarming, Regency-inspired fantasy romance at its finest, perfect for readers of the Jane Austen's Dragons series, Mary Robinette Kowal's Glamourist Histories series, and Grace Burrowes' Rogues to Riches series of historical romance novels.

Ratings and reviews

I loved this book. Wren and Hawke (love the play on the names) are wonderful characters. Their story was well written, the world building was very well done and I enjoyed the fact that the love scenes were tastefully written. Overall, this was a sweet friends to lovers story that was wonderfully written.

not bad but too drawn out...
