December 30, 2002: ?The King?s Fancy? (1667-68). Frances ?Fancy? Devers thought she had everything when Parker Randolph, a son of one of Virginia?s leading families married her. When she was suspected of murdering her husband, she was sent to stay at the English home of her grandmother Jasmine Leslie. Through her family connections, she meets King Charles II, which eventually ends in a friendship in spite of His Highness playing matchmaker to find a husband for his former mistress over her objections. ?Sweet Siren? (1667-68). Diana ?Siren? Leslie falls in love with the Roxley twins, Damien and Darius Esmund. However, she cannot decide which one is right for her so Siren decides to test the siblings to ascertain which one loves her above her wealth and prestige. ?Cyn and Wickedness? (1669-70). Cynara ?Cyn? Stuart loves Harry ?Wickeness? Summers. However, though he dreams of her all the time, and she pulls out all the stops to gain his attention, his ugly childhood caused by his parents make marriage impossible for him. However, when Cyn makes up her mind even the most wicked will find her hard to resist. After a dozen novels and what seems like 98% of the English-Scottish sixteenth and seventeenth century populace, Bertrice Small says VIXENS is her final O?Malley novel. The book consists of three novellas each starring a descendent from Skye who are cousins, but the trio appears in each story. All three contributions are well written but very typical of the O?Malley universe so those fans of the mythos will read the entire book in one sitting while newcomers will probably take three days.
