As luck would have it

“As luck would have it”, is the first book written by Alissa Johnson. The book shows the author’s effortless way to make readers smile and even laugh after every chapter because of the things foolish people do in the name of love. At the age of 24, Sophie Everton decides to take a trip to England to reconnect with her cousin Lord Loudor, who manages her father’s multimillion estates as well as to have fun. On her way back from London, a mysterious man tells her that Loudor had mismanaged her father’s property. Sophie and her dad are on the verge of losing Whitefield, one of their homes, in less than six months. However, the man promises that she can help her secure their property only if Sophie was ready to help him in return. Loudor seems to lose the battle because of his unwise decision to relate with friends who end up spying on him. Sophie was to benefit from her father’s resources only if she chose to hang around Loudor and break into one or more rooms during parties organized by him. Sophie decides to agree to this option because she does want to end up in poverty together with her dad.

Meanwhile, the war office asks Alexander Durmant, a Duke of Rockeforte to spy on Sophie’s cousin because of the same reason. As suggested by the superior, Alex has to show his interest in Loudor’s cousin so that he can get closer to him. However, Alex is not sure of what to expect from an unmarried woman educated in some of the unorthodox things in life but it only takes one look for him to attract her. Sophie starts out as that woman who can resist her attraction towards Alex. The whole story progresses very well until Sophie changes into an obtuse twit. On the hand, Alex insists that he does not love Sophie because she does not tell her three words. In summary, the story is thrilling and you will not feel like leaving it for another day once you start reading it

Tempting fate

“Tempting Fate” is the second book written by Alissa Johnson. The book has a great storyline that talks about childhood friends who ended up as lovers. Mirabelle Browning and Whittaker Cole, the earl of Thurston have known as well as hated each other for a number of years. Alissa depicts them as rational and logical friends who keep snipping each other any time they are in the same room. They have many differences between them to the point that each one of them has a nickname for the other. Whittaker refers to her friend as the “imp” as she calls him the “cretin”. At one point, Whit and Mir have an intense argument only for Whit to end up kissing her instead of wriggling her neck. The simple kiss opens up their eyes to the chemistry that they had kept between them or many years without their knowledge. How they react to the feeling and their tentative steps made afterwards will make you love the book even more.

Although Mira is under the care of her uncle, the man is such as nasty piece of art to the point that she decides to seek refuge with her “lover’s family. According to the will left by her friends, Mir has to live with her uncle for a certain period. During this time, her uncle calls her to attend a year hunting house party where she serves as a host. Mir finds it hard because the guests are lecherous lowlifes, drunken hence she opts to leave for the Coles so that she can have time with a real family. The circumstances in her life makes her to believe that no one can marry her and she is only waiting to collect her stipend so that she can set up her home and leave happily on her own. The new feelings makes the whole thing sticky proposition considering the idea that her uncle made her to believe that no one would ever take her a wife. In summary, Alissa has written Tempting fate in a very modern voice, which is not common in most historical novels. The book has several short scenes with scene conversations, machinations as well as some unnamed characters. The plot, characters and setting of the story makes it a fun and romantic ride that you are likely not to experience in any other novel unless one written by Alissa Johnson herself.
