Review of If He's Noble by Hannah Howell - 3 Stars

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review**

Lady Primrose Wootten is searching for her brother when Sir Bened Vaughan sees her tangled in the woods looking for her horse. Her father had just died and she needed to let her brother know and avoid their aunt. When it becomes clear that their aunt wants more than to just take over. Bened refuses to leave Primrose. While there is more to him than normal men, she slowly makes him want much more.

I had mixed feelings about this book. There were a number of things I went back and forth on. For example, I didn’t really “feel” the two main character’s instant attractions, but I did like their overall characters, particularly Bened’s. Yet, part of him irritated me as he was determined Primrose kept hiding more from him, but there really wasn’t any more she was hiding from him. I also didn’t like his reason for leaving in the end, when I felt her character left his feelings unfounded. With Bened’s character, he really didn’t have any insecurities pointed out throughout the book. I know these reasons sound cryptic, but I’m trying to not give away plot points and still give an honest review. I liked the slight paranormal aspect to the story. I also liked meeting several of Bened’s family members.

Overall, it was a decent book. Even with the things I didn’t like, the plot was good enough that I wanted to finish the book. I would still recommend it to anyone that likes this genre and any of Hannah Howell’s fan-base.
