So True a Love
By Joanna Barker
There is nothing better than a mystery and when it is a historical mystery too all the better. Verity Travers can't help herself, not when she witnesses a crime right in front of her. But the mugger didn't know who he was attacking when he struck. The violence made her forget herself and pursue the man But when she unexpectedly gets in the path of a man connected with the Bow Street Runners she literally loses her suspect.
But soon there are other matters that force Verify and Nathaniel Denning to work together to catch a thief and protect their hearts. Yeah , that is so not happening. But they can try.
So True A Love is much more than a Historical Romance, it is a story of a parent's love for a child and what they are willing to do protect their child. It is a discovery of learning ones own heart and learning that sometimes asking for help is a sign of strength.
This was an engaging read. There are so many layers of secrets throughout that one is shifting through to get to the truth of just what is going on. Romance and mysteries make this a must read!
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.
About the Book:
Danger and passion collide when a plucky young woman becomes embroiled in a Bow Street investigation alongside a handsome officer.
London, 1803
As the daughter of a renowned actress, Verity Travers is a privileged lady of high society —and the last woman one would suspect of working as a private investigator. But after one case nearly costs her everything, she makes the hard decision to hang up her hat and live the uninspiring life of a gentlewoman. However, when she and her dearest friend become victims of a harrowing 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. While she appreciates his keen mind and quick wit on a case, his interference is muddling her progress—and her heart. Focusing on the task at hand becomes more and more difficult as she constantly bumps into Nathaniel, who is determined to keep her out of danger.
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.
