Raves and Reviews
"The subtle development of romance between the devil-may-care earl and the proper former lady is the impetus behind this winning novel, which also boasts rich characters and a deliciously complex story."
– PW Best Romances of Summer, Publishers Weekly
“With her usual witty writing and exquisite flair for characterization, Noble offers readers the second, splendid book in her Winner Takes All series. The effortless manner in which she wrote The Lie and the Lady as a separate love story while at the same time gracefully connecting it to The Game and the Governess (2014) and cleverly hinting at what is to come in the series is nothing less than brilliant.”
– Booklist (starred review)
"Noble charms and enchants with a lively farce of a romance...There's loads of fun, but also tenderness and compassion. Noble certainly understands that combining humor, passion, a lively pace and a bit of mystery captures her fans' hearts."
– RT Book Reviews (4 stars)
"With a delightfully daring, tongue-in-cheek sense of both humor and romance, Noble continues where The Game and the Governess left off....heartwarming."
– Publishers Weekly

“clever and graceful…simply sublime” –Booklist on Compromised
– Praise for Kate Noble
“...An enchanting tale filled with poignancy and wit.”
– RT Book Reviews
“With its effortlessly elegant writing powered by a surfeit of dry wit and its swoonworthy romance between a pair of beautifully nuanced protagonists, the latest in Noble’s flawlessly written Winner Takes All series (The Lie and the Lady, 2015) is just what the reading doctor ordered.”
