A Noble Masquerade

I love stories with romance and suspense. This fit the bill! I will definitely be getting the next book! Thoroughly enjoyed this clean Christian novel.

This book was beautifully written, entertaining, and I loved every moment of it. I would absolutely recommend this as a clean romance story with great characters and fabulous narrator.

A lovely romantic story with just enough mystery to keep the listener in. Well narrated and easy to listen to. A sweet clean read.

No, because of the Christian factor.

It needs tightening up, both editing-wise and speeding up the narration just a touch.

The story was fine, if predictable. There were quite a few secondary characters, and it felt to me that the writer was setting some of them up for future books in the series. It has a very appealing premise, but the story didn't live up to its promise, IMO.<br/><br/>What I didn't like AT ALL was the strong Christian bent to the story. That didn't start happening until about halfway through, so I was quite surprised when it did. At the end (SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER) you're left with the clear impression that the H & h's prayers were why they got together and were so happy.(END SPOILER) I would never have purchased or read this book if that had been evident in the blurbs. It could be there, but sure wasn't very prominent. I don't normally read reviews before I buy a book, so being mentioned there wouldn't have helped me.<br/><br/>If that sort of thing doesn't bother you, or you're looking for a sweet romance (I personally look for a strong sensual/sexual aspect) you might enjoy this one. <br/><br/>The narration isn't awful, but narrator mispronounced many words (markEE instead of marQUISS, that sort of thing. She gets valet correct, however, pronouncing the T at the end.) The writer has used some contemporary terms saying 'guys' instead of 'gentlemen', for example. <br/><br/>It's an okay listen, right down the middle of the road. And I really wanted to like this one, too.

My 2 cents..... I don't listen to Christian books, or inspirational or anything like it. The Christian aspect in this was several times annoying (unnecessary to the story as if added to give the book another heading) and that made it frustrating as it took away from the book in my opinion. OTHER THAN THAT this was a really good book told by a most excellent narrator.
There was NO HEAT whatsoever but it didn't matter.

Basically this was a Regency Era spy/romance/mystery with some religion thrown in instead of sex, neither was needed. It worked, I mostly really enjoyed it and recommend it as creditworthy.

It was such a joy to read this book. Mature H/H and interesting plot. The Duke's pursuit was also very real and believable. I really enjoyed her selfish spoiled character as well. Can't wait to read the following books and find out how she becomes likable.

Entertaining plot. Likable characters. Great comedic relief. Fabulous reader. Looking forward to her next book.

This is one of the best books I have read in a while. It was charming, absolutely hilarious and packed full of surprises!

This is a "clean romance story". I've always like Lisa Kleypas or Julia Quinn historical romances but something drew me to this story. I'm so glad I got it. The story was funny, romantic, interesting and kept me intrigued the whole time from beginning to end. This is the first time with this author and hope more of her romance audio/books are this good.

It was intriguing from beginning to end. The heroine was very likeable with good morals, kind hearted, extremely perceptive and unspoiled. The hero was smooth, smart, very perceptive. I liked how the hero got to know and like the heroine through her personality and kind spirit, and not by her looks.

The humorous scenes, which was too many to list. As well as the touching romance scenes too.

I actually read the book first, then purchased for my daughter to listen too while on her long drives.

I would delete the religious parts. It didn't relate to the story and would not change the story itself at all.

I very much enjoyed the story itself. It was funny, warm, good characters and I laughed out loud a few times. The story was so enjoyable and then prayers started being inserted and more and more were added until the last part was either credited to God making everything happen or God wasn't helping her when she needed it. And that is why I never read Christian based novels! The story was so good all by itself so the religious aspect detracted from it.

I liked them all.

Read more reviews before I buy! If I would have read the ones that notified me this was a religious romance, I would not have purchased it.

What a good story. I will continue to watch for Ms. Hunter's books but will be reading very carefully to see what kind they are.
