REVIEW: Miss Goodhue Lives for a Night by Kate Noble

JanineBook Reviews / C+ Reviewsattorney / historical romance / Regency England / reunited-lovers / Scandal / spinster / Winner Takes All series2 Comments

Dear Ms. Noble, I’ve enjoyed the first two books in your Winner Takes All series, The Game and the Governess and The Lie and the Lady, so when I saw that a novella about Cecilia Goodhue, a minor character in the second book, was available on Netgalley, I requested it. ... more >

REVIEW: Follow My Lead by Kate Noble

lazaraspasteBook ReviewsAgency pricing / Historical Romances / Recommended Reads / scholar14 Comments

Dear Ms. Noble, This is the story of a Duke and a Scholar. But you know that already. Winnifred Crane is an art historian. She is also female, as both her name and the attached pronoun would suggest. It doesn’t matter that she’s brilliant. It doesn’t matter that she’s turned ... more >

REVIEW: The Summer of You by Kate Noble

JaneB ReviewsHistorical Romances / Penguin / Soldier24 Comments

Dear Ms. Noble: This is not a flashy book. There is no big mystery. No serial killer running amok. There aren’t numerous romances started in this story to be carried out into the next. It is just about people trying to cope with the every day aspects of their lives ... more >
