Bailey on task after a shattered heart renders him broken and destroyed becomes
her daily routine. But when the same vicious man from her past sets his

Together, they are forced to face their biggest fears, revealing secrets that
could ruin them both.

My Review:
This is the second book I read by Cecelia Dominic. The
first book I read was ‘Eros Element’, and this book it it’s prequel. Since I
really enjoyed ‘Eros Element’, I was super excited to be a part of the ‘Noble
Secrets’ blog tour and couldn’t wait to start reading.

In ‘Noble Secrets’ we read the story of Pauline and
Christopher. Pauline is a ‘normal’ woman with a dangerous past, and Christopher
is the Duke of Waltham. Soon after meeting each other there begins to grow
something between the two opposites. But there are a lot of reasons why a
relationship between these two would never work. For one he is a duke and must
marry someone with status, and she is a
woman who grew up in a brothel. But somethings are just meant to be. Unfortunately
there’s danger waiting just around the corner.

The romance between Pauline and Christopher is very nice
to read about. It’s slow, intense and definitely makes you want to keep on
reading. From the very beginning Pauline’s character fascinated me and I loved
getting to know her better in this story. And although this story isn’t very
long, I did feel like I got to read a full story. There was enough going on to
keep me hooked to each and every page.

Yes, I definitely liked this story. It was nicely written
and intriguing, and the romance had this Romeo and Juliet kind of feel to it,
which I really enjoyed. The thing this book also does, is make the reader
interested in Edward’s story, the main character in ‘Eros Element’.

I say, Cecilia Dominic, did a great job writing this
prequel!

About the Author:
Cecilia Dominic wrote her first story when she was twoyears old and has always had a much more interesting life inside her head than
outside of it. She became a clinical psychologist because she’s fascinated by
people and their stories, but she couldn’t stop writing fiction. The first
draft of her dissertation, while not fiction, was still criticized by her major
professor for being written in too entertaining a style. She made it through
graduate school and got her PhD, started her own practice, and by day, she
helps people cure their insomnia without using medication. By night, she blogs
about wine and writes fiction she hopes will keep her readers turning the pages
all night. Yes, she recognizes the conflict of interest between her two
careers, so she writes and blogs under a pen name. She lives in Atlanta, Georgia with one
husband and two cats, which, she’s been told, is a good number of each. She
also enjoys putting her psychological expertise to good use helping other
authors through her Characters on the Couch blog post series.

This sounds like a great book, I'm putting this one in my TBR pile. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I loved your review.
Thank you Cindy. This is definitely a book you need to check out 😉
Thank you so much for the review! I'd wanted to explore Pauline and Christopher's story further after I wrote Eros Element, and I had a lot of fun writing Noble Secrets. I'm a bit of an achievement junkie, so I very much appreciate the "great job" and am so glad you liked it!
You're very welcome Cecilia. You really did a great job with this book. And I meant every word! 😉
I'm so glad you enjoyed this one too! I like the mystery aspect of it a lot and it's nice to see how things started with Christopher and Pauline. Thanks so much for hosting a tour stop and sharing your thoughts!
You're very welcome Candace. It was definitely fun to read Christopher and Pauline's story!
This sounds interesting. I am loving the setting and of course steampunk elements!
This book definitely has some interesting and unique elements I loved reading. You definitely should check it out 😉
