A Pressing Engagement by Anna Lee Huber is actually a novella. It takes place between books four and five. Kiera and Gage and FINALLY getting married!!! But, of course, every wedding day has its hiccups. Kiera’s first marriage was a difficult marriage, so she would rather pass on the festivities and jump straight into being called Sebastian Gage’s wife. While she does have some wedding jitters, she can’t wait to start building a life with him. However, the mysterious torq from a previous mystery finds its way into their possession. Neither Gage nor Kiera can let this mystery go unsolved.

Wedding jitters are a thing-even in the 1800s! I did love how Kiera needed a reminder that her sister also needs her at times but has a different way of showing it. Sisterly relationships are complex and can easily be filled with misunderstanding. I also love how Gage and Kiera are on the same page more often than not. While the beginning of their relationship was filled to the brim with misunderstanding, they have learned and listened to one another and have built a beautiful relationship!

This book can’t be read as a standalone in my opinion. While the author does a great job at bringing readers up to speed, it still makes all the difference to go back and read all the books. Overall, it is a delightful novella– 5 out of 5 stars!
