In Regency-era England, Charlotte Langley, a self-described “boring hen,” is about to marry boring Billy Pembroke. Simply earlier than an agonizing dinner together with her in-laws, who barely tolerate her, she’s plagued with menstrual cramps. (Only a splash of realism earlier than the story takes a magical flip.) When her sister mixes her a house treatment, Charlotte is overcome with ardour—and shortly turns it on the fallacious man. The results of the elixir are equal components scorching and hilarious. Although he was as soon as a woman’s man, Kingston, the bastard brother of the Pembroke clan, has been celibate ever since his mom fell gravely in poor health. However he cannot say no to Charlotte. Is she drunk on a love potion or drunk on love itself? In the event you ask Charlotte, she couldn’t presumably betray Billy, whose very best quality is that he is letting her select the place they dwell. In the event you ask Kingston, she’s engaged to the fallacious man. There’s no scarcity of drama main as much as this happily-ever-after. Charlotte’s coronary heart is in the precise place, however her lips have poor purpose.
