Charming Artemis

De: Sarah M. Eden

Narrado por: Luone Ingram

Charlie Jonquil is mild-mannered and kind — except when it comes to his one true adversary, Artemis Lancaster. Though Charlie has a brilliant mind for mathematics, Artemis poses a problem he can’t seem to comprehend: How can one be so lovely and so infuriating? A party in London brings him into the company of the maddening young lady, and it is clear that Charlie’s disdain is mutual. But when an unfortunate incident between the pair involving Charlie’s jacket and a glass of raspberry shrub leads to scandal, the sworn enemies are left with only two options: Be ruined or be married.

So it is that Artemis finds herself in a most outrageous predicament: She must wed a gentleman she’s hated for years — and she pledges to avoid him at all costs. But it is only when they enter into this mockery of a marriage that Charlie and Artemis learn things are not as simple as they once appeared. As their tentative ceasefire leads to friendship, it seems their marriage born of desperation might lead them to a love that was destined to be.

Beautiful Ending

I have been reading these books one at a time as they've come out over the years. I really grew attached to this family and I feel like one of them myself. I have suspected that these two would end up together for a while now. It was as satisfying and loving as I hoped it would be. A beautiful ending to a wonderful series.

A Charming full circle ending

Sarah writes with such masterful orchestration of each great writing tool. Stories that retell myths in a manner that feels completely fresh and unconstrained to any “formula”. Each of her stories are uniquely interesting, yet cohesive to the whole narrative. And this one brings together not one but three series. Charlie’s and Artimises story could certainly be enjoyed on its own but that would be a shallow enjoyment compared to the richness of coming to it after reading the entire Jonquil (including the Gents series) and Lancaster series in chronological order as the stories interweave. (Including at least “The Best Laid Plans” from the huntress series… ) The depth at which one knows each character by the time this story is reached is priceless and makes every development that much more meaningful. Which brings me to my favorite aspect of Sarah’s stories. Each one is an inspiration and a guide to being one’s best and most loving unselfish self in every relationship of life. This is why I find myself reading these two series along with the huntress series and the Gents (please write a story for each of them. They deserve it… ) pretty much every year. When I find myself struggling with self centeredness in my relationships I turn to the Lancasters and the Jonquils to remind me that love and family are my most important values and they are the only ones that can lead to true happiness. So Sarah, thank you for being my story therapist! Such a lovely, disarming and charming way to be encouraged and inspired to be my best self all while being swept up into vicarious membership in a beautiful perfectly imperfect extended family.

Charming Artemis

I loved the story, their coming together was meant to be. I like The familial Love, compassion for those without family.

best series I’ve ever read!

All of the characters were wonderful and each book added more information about such an amazing and Therapeutic family!

Sweet Story

Sweet and clean story with good narration. The end dragged on a bit about the seeming perfection of the deceased family member, but a nice, easy read during stressful seasons that benefit by a break from intense plots!
