Slightly more confusing than the first book in the series, The Enchanted Chocolate Pot. The voices of the two main characters were much more distinct in the first book; in this one they blended together and made it hard to pick out who was speaking. I also found the characters of the two men more similar, and had trouble remember who was married to whom. An enjoyable story nonetheless.
Kate & Cecy have married the two eligible bachelors they assisted in the Chocolate Pot affair, and set off on a joint honeymoon across Europe, where they stumble across a new magical plot, this one involving no less than the subjugation of the entire continent.

If you enjoyed the first book, you will enjoy this one, too. This time the cousins and their new husbands are traveling on their wedding tour but also caught up in sorting out a secret Royal plot. This one is told in a deposition and writing journal from each cousin's perspective rather than the letters of correspondence in the first book. I liked the letter format best, but this doesn't mean the fun of the cousins loses anything. Still plenty of humor, danger, magic and intrigue.
