I thoroughly enjoyed this great romance from Ms Pinder
The characters were so great and the chemistry between the two main characters was scorching hot.
There are many twists and turns and lots of danger and intrigue.
The story is well written and very enjoyable.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
This author makes reading so interesting.
She writes different genres and they are all good.
This short story was a charming read.
The characters and the plot were engaging.
The main characters in Forbidden Noble are Clara and Astorre, who meet at a wedding of mutual friends. Clara carries a lot of emotional baggage left over from her childhood. Her natural parents died and she was reared in a loveless home and blamed unjustly for the deaths of her adoptive parents. Astorre, the son of a duke who murdered his mother and then committed suicide, believes he carries the same murdering gene within himself.
Victoria Pinder delivers another mesmerizing tale filled with secrets and intrigue. There is family drama and attempted murder and, of course, the happily ever after. This is a 5 star clean romance that will leave you with a smile.
An emotional roller coaster featuring Clara and Astorre who are both wounded souls. They do not think they are capable of love. The romance is a clean one but there’s lots of drama and twists. Well written and engaging. This is part of the Princes of Avce series but can be read as a standalone. It was a slow burn romance. A good read.
I liked this story of an unlikely friendship between an orphan and a noble who feels he is not goid enough to marry. When Clara befriends Astorre and they spend a couple of weeks travelling, her kindness makes him change his mind about giving up his birthright and getting married to keep it. Their relationship was very interesting and I liked how these opposites realized they had more in common than they thought and maybe love will break the chains around their hearts. I received a complimentary copy and I am voluntarily reviewing.
What a unique & interesting story.
The heroine was working odd jobs to pay her way. The hero was determined to dump the significant riches he had enjoyed but the clock was ticking, he had to be married when he turned 30 a few days away. They meet at his & her best friends wedding & become friends. He introduces her to Europe but it’s purely platonic. Given her background she tries to dissuade him from giving up his fortune & heritage. He succumbs & they marry for restoration of his destiny & fortune. She however is seriously in love with him & he will not confess his true feelings as he’s fixated with the horrific past. The detailed story unravels projecting all the feels. It was a seriously compelling page turner that had me wanting to get violent with the reluctant hero who couldn’t see the wood for the trees, sjoe, he had my toes curling though & she was exactly what he needed, just took him a while to realise what everyone around him already knew. I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.
Another great read by Victoria Pinder who once again brings strong characters and an entertaining story. She pulls you in with all the drama and intrigue as well as the suspense and romance. She does a great job developing and moving the story fluidly and once again delivers a winner! Loved an recommend this book.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
Delightful tale of two people with low self-esteem who find each other. Wonderful tear-jerker moments. Even includes a minor villain.
I received a copy of this book as a gift. This is my honest review.
Astorre Manfreddi, Duke of Modena, must marry by the age of 30 or lose his estates and wealth according to the law of Avce is on tour with Clara Fortunata, a twice orphaned American. They met in Paris attending the wedding of their best friends, Stephano and Rossie. Clara is writing a book about Astorre while he learns from her how to live frugally before he loses his estates because he fears marriage as his father murdered his mother and committed suicide. Clara was begrudgingly raised by her grandmother, her adoptive parents’ mother. She has worked very hard at odd jobs because she thinks she is an unfortunate Fortunata and brings failure to whomever she works for. Lots of twists and surprises help these two get more truth about their situation and come to a happy ending. Another winner by Pinder! I volunteered this review from an ARC.
This was Book 11 of the “Princes of Avce” series and this sweet and clean romance was so well written with characters that were so wonderfully created that I ended up reading this book in one sitting!
I really loved this book. AWESOME
Cassidy has done it again with Astorre and Clara and it only takes a morning for the whole story. I read an ARC and this voluntary review is my own opinion.
