This is the fourth and last book in the Noble series.
A man wakes up and sees the face of an angel staring down at him and is convinced he died and went to heaven. Hardly - declares the lady as she informs him he's been in a coma for six days and then proceeds to scold him for something he can't remember! In fact, he not only can't remember what he did, he can't remember who he is. He, Lady Felicity Talbot informs him, is William Powell, Viscount Lethbridge, her brother's dearest friend. She omits the part about how he was wounded fighting a dual over her silly cousin and his opponent hovers at death's door. She also omits the fact that she's been in love with him since she was ten. Felicity is determined to keep William at her cottage in the Kentish countryside until he is fully recovered and until the fate of his opponent is known. Felicity is a strong-willed, independent woman and Will is instantly attracted to both her beauty and her spirit. However, the lady seems to only want to be friends and she's keeping secrets from him. When Felicity and her house guest are threatened, Will decides to get involved whether Felicity wants him to or not. He's determined to protect the woman he loves and win her hand in marriage, even if it means never recovering his memory. Will is the brother of Francie, heroine of A Noble Pursuit. Six years later, he remains unwed while his sisters are happy wives and mothers. It's easy to fall in love with Will and the romance is very charming. At first this seems like a run-of-the-mill Florence Nightingale effect plot but there's much more to it than that. The danger and action are also quite unique as far as Regency novels go. This is one of the better traditional Regencies but high sticklers beware - the author seems to have deliberately ignored some of the rules of proper behavior but the story more than makes up for it.

Not well written at all I genuinely feel like even I could do better and that is saying a lot.

I've had this book forever. Someday I will read the entire Powell family's romances in order. This is not the time.
Sara Blayne writes better than average historical romances. Her characters are charming. The evil are always punished. Everything turns out to be a lighthearted scrape. In sum: a perfect beach read or book for when the reader doesn't want to think.

Liked the characters of the hero and heroine but the story had way too much POV and not enough interaction.

This is the final story in the "Noble" series. William Powell and Lady Felicity are perfect together. She brings a bit of chaos to his structured life, and he embraces the adventure.
