A review by hookedbythatbook
Mr. Notorious and the Nefarious November by Shana Galen

4.0

Munro Notley must put his best foot forward in this entertaining second chance romance. 

As always, I enjoyed the author’s writing style, with plenty of witty banter and well-developed characters (even for a novella). I really liked Munro. His feelings for Beatrice were very clear from the start, as were his reasons for leaving. And this time, Beatrice threw him just enough crumbs to keep him from running again. He was funny and honest and very determined to win Beatrice back. 

Beatrice was a little less likable. Her “tests” for Munro felt slightly vindictive at times and she was definitely expecting him to fail. Part of me felt that Munro deserved better. Beatrice’s motivation was to see if she could trust him again after her dismal marriage experience, but Munro was also burned by the whole situation.

All that being said, this was a delightful story with plenty of deliciously charged moments between Munro and Beatrice. I can highly recommend this if you like steamy historical romance. It’s hard to believe we’re almost at the end of this charming series.

Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
