NOBLE PRINCE (Clifton Forge #4) by DEVNEY PERRY

“What were you going to say?”
“It’s nothing.”
“Tell me.” He sighed
“You’ve ruined me.”
“Is that such a bad thing?”
“It’s the best thing.”

This series just keeps getting better and better, so it goes without saying that Noble Prince is our favourite so far in the Tin Gypsy series. In fact, we’d go so far as to say it’s probably our most favourite Devney Perry book to date, in part due to Police Chief Luke Rosen. Wow! This man swept us off your feet! Oh, good grief what a man! Rugged, masculine, protective, brave, sweet, caring and of course as handsome and gorgeous as hell with a swoon factor that had our hearts taking flight!

“I don’t want to lose you.”
“I don’t’ want to lose you either.”

There is a storyline thread that weaves through each book in this series and for that reason, we recommend reading in order. You’ll get a much better feel for the story together with the underlying suspense and drama that unfolds with the disbanded members of the Tin Gypsy MC. You’ll better understand their bitter run-ins with the very present Warriors MC, who are downright nasty pasties with a thirst for violence and revenge which leads its way to Clifton Forge, Montana and Scarlett Marks. Scarlett has secrets that could cause problems for the club, exactly what is she hiding?

In Noble Prince, Devney Perry has brewed a perfect blend of drama, slow-build romance, a shot of angst and some nail-biting suspense that got our hearts pumping. Along with some beautifully moving serene moments that made us melt, there was a swoon and romance factor that made our romantic hearts flutter. Luke Rosen delivered the romance and swoon and then some.

‘Luke was like a mirror. When I looked into his blue eyes, I was reflected there. I saw the way he saw me. It was a glorious image.’

We felt every part of this story. From Scarlett’s heartbreaking and horrifying past, her bravery and her guilt, her fear and her tenacity to Luke’s warring battle with himself between his badge and his heart. His need to love and protect always at the forefront of his decisions. We felt it. We felt it all!

‘Most people would look at Scarlett Marks and think she was broken. Maybe there were a few cracked and scraped pieces, but this woman was not broken. She was lost. Tired. Alone. But not broken.’

In hiding, and hoping to repair not only her relationship with her twin, Presley, from Stone Princess Book #3, Scarlett also wants to get her life on track after a series of life-altering decisions. In Luke’s strong arms, Scarlett felt protected, finding a sense of peace that had eluded her for so long, but could it last? Can Scarlett heal from her inexplicably painful past and learn to trust Luke and share her secrets? Could she ask for help?

The chemistry, the growth of the characters, the little twists and turns are thrown and the brotherhood that exists outside the club – the ever-expanding ‘family’ feel together with the beautiful smalltown Montana landscape Devney Perry delivers so vividly makes this series a winner. And THAT ending! Whilst Luke and Scarlett’s story is concluded in Noble Prince, the ending set up the next book, Fallen Jester, perfectly, and boy we can’t wait!!

Oh and on a side note: When Luke describes his dream for the future…seriously…swoon overload! 

Also, let’s take a minute to laud over these striking covers! One their own they’re stunning but side by side they look even more so!
