The Baboon at the Ball

 The Baboon at the Ball

The Trengrouse Ball #4

Reviewed by Helen


We are back at the Trengrouse Ball and this one is with a difference, yes there is a Baboon at the ball, I thoroughly enjoyed this lovely, fun romance, this time it is Kerenza’s turn to find love and it appears that it may be helped along by the Baboon when one of the guests Percival Muffett arrives with his father and the not invited Baboon.

Percival is a lovely young man well mannered, kind and courteous but alas not part of the ton he is what they call a cit and although welcome at some Ton events he will not have an invite to many more, but meeting Kerenza has him wanting more.

Kerenza is looking forward to her London season and thinking about a husband but wanting a Lord an Earl at least, this ball has been put on for her eighteenth birthday, she is soon helping Val Muffett chasing around a Baboon that she has named Genevieve, this is bringing her and Val together and soon Kerenza is re-thinking who she would want for a husband.

This really is a lovely story and lots of fun as Val and Kerenza fall in love and Genevieve gets herself into all sorts of trouble, she has a voice in this story and getting to know her was so good, I do highly recommend this one it is short, sweet and a fabulous read that is sure to leave you smiling.

My thanks to the author for my digital copy to read and review.
