A Noble Scheme

About the Book A Noble Scheme

In the opulent and perilous world of high society’s most elite–and most dangerous–families, two investigators must set aside their broken hearts to uncover the truth.

Gemma Parks is known to the London elite as G. M. Parker, a columnist renowned for her commentary on the cream of society. Behind the scenes, she uses her talents to aid the Imposters in their investigations by gathering intel at events and providing alibis for the firm’s members through her columns. Yet her clandestine work would be more exhilarating if it weren’t for the constant presence of the gentleman who broke her heart.

Graham Wharton has never had eyes for anyone but Gemma, and she left his heart in tatters when she walked away from him. When the Imposters take on a new job to recover a kidnapped boy mistaken for his aristocratic cousin, Graham is determined to use the time with Gemma to not only restore the missing boy but also to win back the only woman he’s ever loved. As they trace the clues laid out before them, Graham and Gemma must devise a noble scheme to save the boy’s life and heal their hearts.

My Thoughts on A Noble Scheme

A Noble Scheme is the wonderful second book in a fun series that you’re not going to want to miss! I couldn’t wait to start it!  Book one is A Beautiful Disguise.  If you’ve read book one then you know how I felt.  I was waiting for book two and really not patiently at all.  I had to know why Gemma didn’t want anything to do with Graham and why they had such tension between them!  And let me tell you, it wasn’t what I thought or even anything I could imagine!

I can’t give away details but woah guys.  You need to read this book.  And can I just say that I cried while reading it.  Yes, I was pregnant the first time I read the book.  And why yes that does indicate I’ve read the book twice already!  The first time on Kindle and the second time as a paperback!  But I was postpartum the second time reading it, already knew what was going to happen, and still cried.  So maybe just have some Kleenexes nearby okay?

We do see the main characters from book one in this one as well.  It was so good to catch back up with them and see what their lives had become like.  Oh and of course The Imposters is still going strong!  Gotta love their investigations!

What can I tell you about this story?

Oh, it’s so good!  Carve out one day and read the whole thing in one setting.  And then carve out another block of time to read it again because it’s amazing and you’re going to read it twice.  But make sure you read the first book first so you know the characters and the back story of book one.  You could read this as a stand-alone but why would you want to do that?!

Gemma has some hostility towards Graham.  We don’t know why.  But we get the impression that they have had a relationship in the past and it soured but we have no idea why.  We also have no idea why she refuses to give even a little bit.  She can’t let him have a small bit and even their interactions for The Imposters aren’t exactly civil.  

The Plot

Two boys.  The best of friends.  They’re cousins.  They look alike.  But one’s father wants to forget that the other part of the family exists.  So when it’s his nephew and not his son that goes missing he has no intention of paying the ransom.  The kidnapped boy’s father comes to The Imposters for help though he can’t pay.  He loves his son and wants him back whatever the cost.  

And that’s how The Imposters get involved in the case.  And how Graham and Gemma find themselves working together to solve the case.  But can they unravel who is behind the kidnapping and save the boy (or rather is it boys-shh don’t tell I told you) before it’s too late?  

This fast-paced book will have you biting your nails and crying plus raging against evil but also sighing over the good.  It’s wonderful.  It’s amazing.  And I’m ready for the next book!
