About this ebook

With her life and estate threatened, a lady turns to a man of extraordinary gifts in the New York Times bestselling author’s paranormal Regency romance.

Western England, 1791. For Lady Primrose Wootten, nothing has been ordinary since her father the Baron died, leaving his wayward family to fill the estate with greed and treachery. Primrose knows if she can just track down her brother, he can send the odious relations on their way. But her search leads instead to a powerful stranger, and she forgets entirely what she was doing in the first place...

Sir Bened Vaughn isn't much afraid of a pistol. But he is afraid of the primal urges stirred in him by the woman holding it. Vaughn is an honorable man, and he knows he has no right to desire Primrose. Yet he does have an obligation to help her, and as they learn more about her brother's disappearance, he realizes that means staying by her side—wanting her all the while—and wondering how much longer they can resist temptation.

Ratings and reviews

Strong characters, mysterious intrigue and mystifying storytelling. Thank you Kensington and NetGalley for reintroducing me to Hannah Howell. Ms. Howell creates stories that stimulate the imagination. Her stories are never dull. There are always numerous surprises waiting to be discovered. I received an ARC of If He's Noble in exchange for an honest review. With a book this good my only disappointment is that I discovered it with book 7.

Howell takes you back in time through every aspect of this novel. The descriptions and people set the scene while the narrative and dialogue set the tone. Howell’s intricate plot of danger and betrayal was fast paced, always keeping me on my toes. I really enjoy how well the entire Wherlocke series ties together as a whole, yet how each novel can also be read individually, without the rest of the series. Primrose was a fantastic heroine for this series. I thoroughly enjoyed the way rationalized everything. Her strength in the face of the deepest of betrayals really sets her apart from most heroines of the genre. Bened’s gift and his fascination with Primrose made him a sight to behold. Howell’s descriptions and the character’s own actions brought him to life in vivid clarity, allowing me to picture & fall in love with him. These two characters’ positive and endearing traits were highlighted by the utter despicableness of some of the supporting cast. The contrast in characters was so marked that you couldn’t miss it. Once again Howell has created a historical romance with a kick. It was a great read that I could barely put down. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.

Great book. I love all of Hannah Howell's books, but the Wherlocke series is by far the best. I can't wait for the next one to come out
