Publisher Review

The whimsical worldbuilding forms a perfect backdrop to the angsty couple, and Holton's winking narration, which puts her in cahoots with the reader, makes her exaggerated characters work. Overflowing with heart, humour, and hyperbole, this clever romance enchants * Publishers Weekly * Holton provides plenty of chuckles...a fun-filled romp in a topsy-turvy world of corset-wearing, knife-wielding, magic-casting women and gun-wielding, light-fingered, charming pirates * Kirkus Reviews * Clever word play, delightful double entendres, and adventurous high jinks will delight fans of smart, witchy romances * Booklist * Sexy, funny, and utterly charming . . . Buckle up, readers, because this is a ride you won't want to miss * Lynn Painter, author of Mr. Wrong Number * The League of Gentlewomen Witches has punch and verve, and makes for one heck of ride.
