Review: A Touch of Minx
Suzanne Enoch has become one of my favorite authors. I forget where I first stumbled across one of her books. It was likely recommended by Amazon as something I’d like because of reading authors like Julia Quinn. I went through her available books still in print and then went and specially ordered a couple because the stories and characters are so good. My favorite book of hers has to be England’s Perfect Hero (Lessons in Love, Book 3)
A Touch of Minx
As usual, the story focuses on Sam and Rick’s differing worlds and how Sam slowly settles deeper into his life, which is complicated when Sam must solve two mysteries within the week and Rick is kept busy in his attempts to keep her out of trouble. Tensions are wound tight as Samantha investigates the mysteries and the stakes are raised when Rick starts talking marriage. Can there be a happily ever after in this couple’s future or will they always be stuck with happy for now endings?
Along with all the others in this series, I enjoyed this book. Sam and Rick have great chemistry and the rich characters (even the recurring secondary ones) draw you into their world. Every time Jellicoe pulls away from him, you want to smack her for being so dumb, but you also understand why she is emotionally distant and unable to settle easily. Addison is a great hero. He’s not obviously troubled or broken, but has a few issues of his own. You can tell he genuinely loves his little cat burglar and not just because she saved his life back in book one. I was eager to read this book since Enoch has such a fantastic track record and I needed a refreshing, fun and solid series entry after the last couple I’ve read.
