My Thoughts:
The Noble Guardian
by Michelle Griep is a wonderful look into the world of the Bow Street Runners
in London during the Regency era. I really hadn't heard of this historical
element until I started reading Griep's novels. The Noble Guardian is a fast-pace novel with plenty of moments of
heroics and a growing fascination with what might happen for the heroine versus
what she believes will be her future when she meets her future husband. There
was enough tension to keep this suspense-loving reader interested, but enough
romance and down moments to round out the characters. The romance was
predictable, but I enjoyed watching Samuel and
Abigail find their true love and their happily-ever-after. Overall, The Noble Guardian by Michelle Griep is
a unique, yet thrilling conclusion to the Bow Street Runners. The characters
have a fascinating journey to complete, physically and emotionally. Fans of
Sarah E. Ladd and Dawn Crandall might want to pick up this series.
I received a complimentary copy of The Noble Guardian by Michelle Griep from Barbour Publishing, but
the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating:
4 out of 5 stars

I hear voices. Loud. Incessant. And very real. Which
basically gives me two options: choke back massive amounts of Prozac or write
fiction. I've been writing since I discovered blank wall space and Crayolas. I
seek to glorify God in all that I write--except for that graffiti phase I went
through as teenager. (Taken from Amazon.)
