The Restitution League Book 1

SYNOPSIS:

Thieves make the best rogues. And the worst heartbreakers.

Philomena Sweet may be London’s finest safecracker, but not even she could protect her heart from confirmed rake, Spencer Crane. The dashing jewel thief absconded with it years ago. And now he’s back, fleeing danger from their past. Danger he won’t survive without her help. 

Spencer Crane can fight his own battles. He’s been doing it his entire life. He has no intention of asking uppity Meena Sweet for assistance, but when a phantom from their past targets them both, he’ll do anything to save her.  Except hand over his heart. The last time he did that, she crushed it.

While they dodge criminals, carriages, and the occasional flying cabbage, who will protect these two notorious thieves from each other?

—Meet the Restitution League—

They’re thieves. They’re rogues. They’re well-armed for adventure. The crew of the Restitution League fights injustice while wrestling with love and desire and the occasional throwing knife. One blazing romance at a time…

SYNOPSIS:

She’s written a mega-bestseller. But when her hero springs off the page, will it end with happily-ever-after?

Regency Romance author Catherine Paige pours her heartbreak into her passionate pages. Recovering from a brutal breakup and with her next book’s deadline looming, she writes her ex into her narrative and hopefully out of her mind. But instead of being “the end,” his fictionalized alter-ego takes a magical leap out of her manuscript and into the real world.

Daniel Lockhart has spent his whole life looking for an easy jackpot. So when he’s pulled into a strange new future, he’s determined to stack the deck in his favor and charm his way to the top. And even a pretty lady who claims she can help him will not convince him to change his scoundrel ways.

Frustrated that the man before her is still a work-in-progress, Catherine endeavors to guide him to the grand finale she penned. But as Daniel veers wildly off script, they both realize they’ve got to read between the lines to heal their own stories.

Can Catherine and Daniel turn their tales of woe into a truly fulfilling, happy ending?

The Novelist’s Rake is the second standalone story in the mesmerizing A Novel Time Tale magical fantasy series. If you like witty dialogue, colorful characters, and fiction come to life, then you’ll adore Ava Douglan’s rollicking romance.

MY THOUGHTS:

She’s written a mega-bestseller. But when her hero springs off the page, will it end with happily-ever-after?

Regency Romance author Catherine Paige pours her heartbreak into her best selling book. Now she’s at a book signing at a small out of the way shop. It is thought by most to be magical, so when she arrives home and finds that she forgot to leave a signed copy of her book for the bookshop owners, she vows to mail it to them the next day. Then strange things begin to happen. She finds the book contains an antique bookmark and a blind date ends up being the Hero of her book.

Daniel shows up on her doorstep when she is expecting a blind date with a man whose name starts with a “D” that her friend Mia set her up with.
Things become progressively confusing from there on.

This book has it’s delightfully humorous moments. Although Daniel has apparently jumped right out of the pages of Catherine’s novel and her own imagination he seems to be very real.

This book deserves a sequel. This new to me author didn’t fail to entertain me. At the end the author offers an extended epilogue and I went right to the site and claimed it.

I gave this imaginative book 4.25 of 5.0 stars for story line and characterization. Daniel certainly acts the part of a man out of his own time.
I received a complimentary copy of this title from Hidden Gems. This in no way affected my opinion of this book which I reviewed voluntarily.
