Murder at Westminster by Magda Alexander

Kitty's sister has a beau which is somewhat astonishing since Margaret has generally said that she would prefer not to be married. Even more astonishing for this nouveau riche family, Sebastian is the heir to an earldom. Sebastian has, more or less, become a part of the family, esting nearly every meal at the Worthingtons. They KNOW him which is why they are all quick to jump to his defense when he is accused of murdering his grandfather.

The two had quarreled. Most recently about the grandfather's treatment of Sebastian's sister, Lily. The man kept her locked up in the house and, now that she is grown, is peddling her hand in marriage tonthe highest bidder. When Sebastian is arrested, Lily is taken to the Worthingtons.

Of course, there are other suspects but the Inspector on the case doesn't seem to want to do any work now that he's arrested the future duke.

The focus of this book was a little scattered and i wasn't exactly sure how.Kitty got to the end but it was overall fast, fun, and fluffy.

Until It Was Love by Pippa Grant

Fletcher Huxley was unceremoniously released from his English rugby sportsball contract. The man who let him go was a mentor to him and he is still licking his wounds. Just because he's in his mid-thirties, doesn't mean that he's out of the game. Rugby is his life. 

Jessica "Goldie" Collins is a trust fund baby but she works as a life coach and influencer. She knows about having a sports career end suddenly. She doesn't like Fletcher very much, especially since he has an obnoxious mustache (that plays just a little too much of a role in this book). But he is great for driving her brother absolutely crazy. Fletch is Silas's teammate and we know how (most) romance-novel-brothers feel about teammates dating their sisters.

This is a good Grant book. Fast, fun, and fluffy.

The Ink Master's Silence by C.J. Archer

 In a previous book, a man, one India thought was a friend, published an article releasing the knowledge that magic is real. Now, the man's editor is dead. But was the person aiming for Oscar Barratt or was the editor the actual target. 

There is no shortage to the number of people who would prefer that magic would be shoved back into Pandora's Box. But it's too late and now India's become a focus for the people who find magic to be a source of amusement.
