So True a Love by Joanna Barker

 

As the daughter of a renowned actress, Verity Travers is a privileged lady of high society—and the last woman one would suspect as having worked as a private investigator. But she has hung up that dangerous hat to live the uninspiring life of a gentlewoman. However, when she and her dearest friend become victims of an armed robbery, Verity finds herself swept back into the clandestine world of mystery and crime as she seeks to bring the thief to justice. There’s just one complication: the persistent and dashingly handsome Bow Street Runner Nathaniel Denning, who always seems to cross her path.

Verity is confident she could accomplish her work quickly if only Nathaniel would stay out of her way. Focusing on the task at hand becomes more and more difficult as his keen mind, quick wit, and determination to keep her out of danger muddle her progress—and her heart.

When the two rival investigators learn they are both pursuing the same cunning criminal, they must figure out how to navigate the delicate dance of cooperation amid a backdrop of increasing peril and an irresistible passion that sets their hearts ablaze.

About The Author

 

Joanna Barker firmly believes that romance makes everything better, which is why she has fallen in love with writing Regency romances. When she’s not typing away on her next book, you’ll find her listening to podcasts, eating her secret stash of chocolate, or adding things to her Amazon cart. She thinks being an author is the second-best job in the world—right after being a mom. She is just a little crazy about her husband and three wild-but-lovable kids.

 

My Review

 

This was a great read to get lost in, it is the second book in this series, but can be read alone. Will say I loved the first book too!
This is Verity's story, and since a mishap a few months ago she has been lying low, but when she and her friends are attacked, well she is no longer retired.
Enter Nathaniel, Mr. Chivalry, a man that is sure there for her when danger appears.
This is a read that has it all, from some sweet romance to running from danger, and I was not suspecting the outcome to the very last!
Will be looking for more in this series! 

I received this book through the Publisher Shadow Mountain, and was not required to give a positive review.
