I have a habit of reading an extremely lengthy tome (think: Game of Thrones) and then switching gears to reading something light yet satisfying in between...sort of a literary palate cleanser. A Noble Deception was this go-rounds palate cleanser and it did not disappoint! I've read many, many, MANY romance novels in my day so I can accurately inform you that the heroine is typically buxom, beautiful, and lacking in strength of character (ie: "save me, my strong, valiant hero!"). Moira, the heroine of this novel, is none of those irritating traits! It was incredibly refreshing that she was strong, spirited, and secure in her own beliefs instead of being a vapid trophy. The plot is one that has, of course, been ventured in before but I really liked that the hero was not falling for Moira because of her sudden "hidden" beauty. It was because her personality, intelligence, and the way she treated him made her beautiful to HIM. Very cute story! The end leaves just enough back story to reach into the next installment too! I'm excited for it!
