Book Synopsis
As the daughter of a renowned actress, Verity Travers is a privileged lady of high society —and the last woman one would suspect of working as a private investigator. But after one case nearly costs her everything, she makes the hard decision to hang up her hat and live the uninspiring life of a gentlewoman. However, when she and her dearest friend become victims of a harrowing armed robbery, Verity finds herself swept back into the clandestine world of mystery and crime as she seeks to bring the thief to justice. There’s just one complication: the persistent and dashingly handsome Bow Street Runner Nathaniel Denning, who always seems to cross her path.
Verity is confident she could accomplish her work quickly if only Nathaniel would stay out of her way. While she appreciates his keen mind and quick wit on a case, his interference is muddling her progress—and her heart. Focusing on the task at hand becomes more and more difficult as she constantly bumps into Nathaniel, who is determined to keep her out of danger.
When the two rival investigators learn they are both pursuing the same cunning criminal, they must figure out how to navigate the delicate dance of cooperation amid a backdrop of increasing peril and an irresistible passion that sets their hearts ablaze.

My Review
"So True a Love" by Joanna Barker is a captivating Regency romantic suspense novel. I was thrilled to discover that the story revolves around Verity Travers, a character I adored in the first book, "A Heart Worth Stealing." From the very first page, this book grabbed my attention and kept me on the edge of my seat. It’s packed with tension, mystery, and witty exchanges, along with plenty of action and suspense. I honestly didn't see any of the twists coming, as the mystery was so skillfully crafted that it had me guessing throughout.
Verity is a lovable character with her cleverness and independent spirit, and Nathaniel, the charming Bow Street Runner, is equally captivating. His chivalrous nature earns him the nickname "Sir Chivalry." Their romance unfolds as a rivals-to-lovers story, with sweet moments and strong chemistry perfectly woven into the mystery and crime elements of the plot. They truly make a great team and balance each other out wonderfully.
You can read this book on its own, but I highly recommend starting with "A Heart Worth Stealing", where readers fall in love with Verity's brother Jack and Ginny's story.
This book is definitely a must-read for fans of closed-door historical romance! It's an exciting page-turner that you won't want to miss.
Joanna Barker firmly believes that romance makes everything better, which is why she has fallen in love with writing Regency romances. When she’s not typing away on her next book, you’ll find her listening to podcasts, eating her secret stash of chocolate, or adding things to her Amazon cart. She thinks being an author is the second-best job in the world—right after being a mom. She is just a little crazy about her husband and three wild-but-lovable kids.
