Noble Brit: A Billionaire Noble Story, Book 9 (In the Shadows)

Seeing as I’m a fan of romantic suspense, the synopsis sounded right up my alley. Bodyguard is synonymous with action and intrigue for me and just wow, Michelle has delivered in spades! And I have to add that she did an excellent job with the British lingo. Nobel Brit can be read as a standalone; however, there were moments in the book when I wanted to know more about the Blake family, especially Sebastian. That being said, I really enjoyed this novel.

Dennet Barasa is a true Brit. Loyal and undeterred, the safety of Mina Blake is his first and foremost concern. He took on the assignment with Black Security for various reasons and he went about it with expertise. Throw gorgeousness into the mix and what we have is a swoon-worthy guy who’s trying to overcome a past happening, yet still consumed with guilt. What I truly liked about Den was his unforgiving stance, and him holding back his feelings until just the right moment showed me that he’d found someone he could share his feelings with. But injustice isn’t in his book regardless of who had been or who could be on the receiving end. His vengeful steadfastness is woven into the story really very well, considering that the story revolves around Mina.

Mina. I wasn’t too sure about this lass to start off with but while reading on, I realised how capable she was of being her own woman. Now then, I really don’t like letting on but in this case, I’d like to give you my honest opinion regarding age differences. Yes, it plays a part in this story. Yes, it’s relatable and lifelike but I really didn’t think it was a problem. Den ruminated about it, Mina didn’t even blink an eye. There were many more pressing issues to resolve without worrying about numbers because that’s just what they are. Mina’s in danger, and he’s got to find out why.

I loved the banter between Den, Mina and her family and although there were a couple of big-little surprises before the book finished, one of them tied up a loose end perfectly. I’d never put two and two together in respect to the title which also got a smile out of me! Great character development, a solid plot with some action-packed scenes makes for a good read. I’ll certainly be adding other books from this series to my TBR list. Bravo Michelle!

This is the 9th book in the series, though it can standalone. I enjoyed catching up with the host of characters, but I fell in love with Mina and Den. Mina is struggling. Den protects her. But, their chemistry is instantaneous. Through unexpected issues, they turn into much more than professional acquaintances. This was a quick read that left me wanting more!

Noble Brit is book 9 of the In the Shadows series and is PTs best novel to date!! The book centers around characters that you were introduced to in the previous novels Den and Mina and the growing relationship they build. The interaction between the two of them from the very beginning to the end builds to this intense connection based on healing and moving forward with happiness.

Den as a character is very mysterious. He keeps his life private and doesn’t get attached to anything to protect himself, that is until Mina comes into life when he’s assigned her. She becomes a beacon in his closed off life and saves him from past demons that he harbors until the end.

Mina as a whole is a character who grows into the woman she is. Yes she’s a mother to Jodi but she’s more than that, she’s her own woman and she learns this in her journey to finding her love with Den. It’s amazing to watch a spoiled heiress at first become the sexy woman she’s capable of being!

What I loved the most about their explosive story is how they helped each other heal from past traumatic experiences and became the foundation for each other to build themselves again. It was a spectacularly beautiful novel with all the suspense and romance you need to keep you in a book trance. I would so completely recommend this book!!!
