My Review:
A Noble Masquerade is the first book I have read by Kristi Ann Hunter, but it will not be my last. Her books remind me of Karen Whitemeyer and Jen Turano's books, which I also love.

The Valet's Secret is the first book I have read by Josi S. Kilpack. I was drawn to this book by the cover and that it was a Regency Romance, something I discovered that I enjoy.

My Review:
This is the second book in the Regency Wallflowers series. I thought I had read the first book, but I have not. It did not hinder my enjoyment of this book, nor, to my knowledge, did I miss anything by not starting with the first book.

My review:
To Marry an Earl is a debut novel by Karen Thornell (published in 2021). For so long, I have said I don't like historical fiction, but I am finding that I enjoy Regency novels and historical fiction with hints of humor. To Marry an Earl falls into both of those categories.

My Review:
I love the cover of this book and its attention to detail. I enjoyed the mystery element as well. The story had a slow build and picked up quite a bit toward the middle.
