ARC REVIEW Lord of Secrets by Erica Ridley


Lord of SecretsRogues to Riches #5, This one runs parallel with some of the previous books, it can be read as a standalone but I think it would be more enjoyable if you have read the others, especially the ones with the rest of the Grenville Family. Even with the 200+ pages this is a quick read the romance is a little on the slow burner side. Half of what happens are occurrences and scenes from the other books but from Heath and Nora's POV. The other half is Heath trying to find the caricaturist and falling in love with Nora while Nora tries to find a way to tell Heath her secret without him hating her and breaking her heart.

Heath Grenville is a problem solver, he makes scandals go away his newest client has asked him to find the artist doing the caricatures and get him to stop. Elenora Whitfield is a distant cousin to Lady Roundtree, in order to help her aging grandparents and brother save the sheep farm she grew up on she takes a post as a companion to Lady Roundtree. Heath is immediately taken with Nora's beauty, no woman has ever caught his eye the way she has, but as a lady's companion she is completely unsuitable to be his wife, logically he knows this and he tries to move on but his thoughts keep going back to her. For Nora Heath is everything she ever dreamed about and never ever hoped to have, their shared love of art is just one thing she loves about him. The more time they spend with each other and as Heath watches his sisters fall in love the more Heath realizes he should follow his heart. 

Overall, this was a nice read. Nora and Heath are well matched and it was pretty much an easy romance. I especially love how they handle the situation at the end when Heath finds out the truth, very mature.
