A Noble Masquerade by Kristi Ann Hunter5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() Those who like Regency romance novels will find much to enjoy here. There is fighting, there are smelling salts, there are witty conversations over dances and in horse-drawn buggies, and there is a wink and a nod to Jane Austen’s work herself. There is a secret romance between a widow and her brother-in-law, and a case where a woman, who is a sister to a Duke, thinks she is falling in love for her brother’s valet, which would be highly inappropriate, only to find out that he is a Duke but also a spy who has been working for the government in order to break a pro-French spy ring during the Napoleonic War. ![]() ![]() There are sisters fighting over male attention, one of whom is approaching spinsterhood and hides her deeply passionate nature underneath a reserve of shyness and awkwardness but pours her heart out into letters that, when accidentally sent, cause extreme awkwardness, while the young sister is catty and flirtatious and enjoys using her beauty as a form of tormenting gentlemen. This novel has a lot of strong elements that make for a good Regency romance novel. ![]() I don’t often read romance novels, but when I do I make sure they are witty and clever historical romances, like this Regency romance from Georgia author Kristi Ann Hunter. ![]()
