Only Enchanting Survivor Club Mary Balogh 9780451469663 Books

Flavian, Viscount Ponsby, one of six men and one woman (known as The Survivors Club) who spent time at Penderris Hall recovering from devastating injuries (physical and mental) from the war with France. Flavian’s injuries were a combination of both. Having been shot then trampled by his horse Flavian spent many, many months locked within himself. Now able to speak, with a slight stutter, he still has huge memory gaps. The one thing he can remember is the desertion of his fiancée, Velma, and subsequent wedding with his best friend when he first returned home from the war. His hatred still runs deep. Now that his former best friend has died his family and hers expect them to pick up where they left off…Flavian has no intention of marrying EVER.

Agnes Keeping has a well ordered life and makes all decisions to keep it so. From deciding to marry William Keeping even though they had a deep affection but not love (not an emotion she wants anything to do with considering her mother) to moving in with her sister after William’s death.

That is until a Harvest Ball at the home of Vincent, one of the Survivors. A request to dance turns into two and the enchantment begins. Months later The Survivor’s Club has a change of venue and meets at Vincent’s home instead of Penderris which leads to meeting again. Can Flavian and Agnes stay away from each other? As the pull between them grows stronger can they make each other see what the other wants? Once together can they overcome the meddling of his parents, his former fiancée’s interference, opinions of the ton and most of all the secret that Flavian withheld from Agnes about his true relationship with Velma?

Only Enchanting is another wonderful example of Mary Balogh’s writing. She pulls you in so you’re feeling Flavian’s frustration, anger and the yearning he has for a normal life. You experience Agnes’ frustrations, her struggle between wanting her life to be orderly and the pull she has towards Flavian and her strength when faced with her adversaries.

I love The Survivor’s Club series by Mary Balogh! Each one explores the depth of despair each war injured character feels while giving little glimpses of hope and building on that. Through Ms. Balogh’s talented writing you see each character’s insecurities and their desire to reach for the chance to heal while fighting it all the way. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A SERIES – EACH BOOK CAN BE READ AS A STAND-ALONE as Ms. Balogh does a wonderful job of incorporating history from previous books so it all makes sense.

Only Enchanting Survivor Club Mary Balogh 9780451469663 Books Reviews

This author is becoming a fast favorite of mine. Her romances are warm and gentle and not at all the lurid, steamy somewhat indecent affairs you might find in other novels. (**nothing wrong with smut but it's usually ill conceived and ill timed in most romances**) I start off with saying, I love the Survivor's Club and I can't wait to see the Duke get his HEA. After reading Vince's story with his lady I fell in love with the stuttering Flavian and wanted to know how he became happy again.

I think the author liked him as much as I do. Aside from his brooding thoughts disguised by his lackadaisical expression he was part gentleman, part rake, and all wounded hero. I liked the other characters as well, even the villain, but I felt the plot had more potential aside from incomplete memory loss brought on by war injuries and a hastily wrapped ending.

I absolutely disliked the heroine, Agnes. She had no direction and lacked inspiration. Aside from his obvious attraction to her, he also seemed a bit over-sexed for someone who had paramours on the side. The author never really explains why he is so attracted to her. But I think the author did Agnes a great disservice as well. She had absolutely no charm. No beauty. No talent to recommend her (for which we actually see a follow through). No personality. All I could glean was she was a wallflower with burning passions deep inside but I'm not sure I ever got to see it for myself.

Her back story was interesting and I get that she was repressed and in a loveless marriage before the husband was considerate enough to die on her and make her an eligible woman once more. But aside from all of that I felt like I never really knew who she was. All things HAPPENED to Agnes. Agnes never made anything HAPPEN. Her only saving grace was that she fell in love with Flavian, warts and all.

Though Flavian became her knight in shining armor I couldn't see what Agnes could do for him. Heroes and heroines are often catalysts for one another but there was no reciprocity in this arrangement, which made the relationship disappointingly one sided on his part, and shallow on hers.

Agnes' transformation from country mouse to ton lioness wasn't at all convincing, aside from one single, goaded confrontation with Mrs. March, everyone's favorite toad, and a parlour exchange with the villain. I wanted a showdown! I expected to see more of how the affluence and influence of his clan snubbed the villains while fully embracing her into the fold. I expected the villain to be exposed. I expected Agnes to fully confront the villain and come out bruised but victorious. We don't really know what happens.

In fact, we don't really know if she dared to live up to her title as Flavian's Vicountess after that because the book abruptly ends when Flavian is miraculously cured. The end. Wait, what?

I expected more from Agnes. If the author was going to give her such a horrid name (though if you say it in French it's quite beautiful) she needed to have given her more charm, more wit, more talent, more courage, more originality -- especially if she was going to be paired with a member of the Survivor's Club.
