3,5 stars just for Sweet Enchantment by Anya Bast
I read Sweet Enchantment because I plan to read Dark Magick series by same author and hear this novella is the prequel.
Bella Rhiannon Caliste Mac Lyr (really long name!) a noble at Seelie Court, descendant of Tuatha de Danann, want to free her ex lover, Ronan Achaius Quinn, with propose marriage to him, to save Ronan from the Queen of Summer's wrath because Ronan try to help The Phaendir, their enemy. Bella still can't forget how Ronan had broke her heart and humiliated herself in front of all entire Seelie Court. Little she know, Ronan do it because he doesn't want The Queen to cast Bella out from the court. Ronan is Unseelie, or dark Fae, but have a permit from the Queen to become Seelie Mage. So, if he unite himself with Bella, who have a Unseelie blood too,a dark secret whose she keep tightly, they don't have a future together.
Ronan then find a way to help himself, because he have something precious which The Queen want to possess, to free them from The Phaendir imprisonment. But to do that, he must escape, and approach Bella, to make her to love him again, because Bella is his soulmate. Can Bella forgive Ronan? What future they have if the Queen know about their escape?
For novella, even its to short, I enjoy reading it. I love the new way of fae and Irish mythology, and Ms Bast can described the world building without make reader overwhelmed. The ending will make reader satisfied, even its really bittersweet. And you will get a brief appearance of Aislinn, the hero of [b:Wicked Enchantment|6568819|Wicked Enchantment (Dark Magick, #1)|Anya Bast|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1265439998s/6568819.jpg|6761829].
