★★★★★ “A good suspense, tragic loss, quite a bit of danger and a clean romance makes up for this book. I was completely invested within the first chapter and even though I hadn’t read the previous books in this series, I had no issues keeping up. This is a shorter read and one of my favorite characters is the Dowager Duchess. I can see a romance brewing in the background, and would not be surprised if it’s the next book in the series.” ~ Uncaged Book Reviews

★★★★★ “My favorite troupe: siblings’ best friend. This was a wonderful story of overcoming fear and falling in love again against all odds. With danger still lurking around Katie Latham, she is fearful to go outside until her family convinces her to get back into society. When she meets Lord Sebastian Soren, everything changes for both of them. Love at first sight, except there is still danger following Katie. Can Sebastian help Katie remember what happened on that tragic day when her fiancé was struck down or will she be fearful forever?” ~ Theresa25

★★★★★ “The action in this book appears to follow right where "A Widow's Perfect Rogue" leaves off. I haven't read the first book yet, but I was still able to enjoy this story. Katie had mourned her fiancé for a year and she blamed herself for his death. She was living like a recluse because she was afraid to leave the house. Her family encouraged her to take fencing lessons from Sebastian to build back her confidence so that she could reenter society. Sebastian also began to investigate the murder. The villain of this story was rather sinister and there was some on-page violence. Thankfully, Sebastian and Katie got through it together and had their happy ending. This story had interesting characters and lots of action. A future enemies-to-lovers romance was definitely brewing, so I'm eager to see what develops in the next book.” ~ MetraHarvard

★★★★★ “This is such a beautiful, poignant story of Katie's journey through life. Beautiful, sweet, loving Katie losses her fiance one night in a horrible event. This will have you in tears within the first chapter. All of her joy, confidence and thirst for life are suddenly gone. With much encouragement, Katie takes up fencing and is taught by the amazing Sebastian. The story will keep you fully engaged, tied to each page and holding your breath to the very end. Beautifully, beautifully done.” ~ Jo

★★★★★ “A very romantic entertaining book from start to finish! I loved the different way the book opened. This is a fast-paced exciting book with two lovely main characters. Captain Sebastian Soren and Miss Katie Latham have a chemistry that is off the charts. There's a lot of danger for Katie and Sebastian steps up to teach her self-defense. During her lessons, they both realize that they have feelings for each other. The story evolves into an exciting race to catch the villains and get their HEA. It's a well-written love story with a few surprising twists and a great epilogue to tie it all together. I can't wait to read the first book of the series. I loved this book and you will too. I highly recommend it.” ~ TG
