It had been many years since I had read historical romances. But then I was sent a review book by an author named Kate Noble and that book introduced me back into this genre that I’m enjoying so much now.
With the wonderful tales of yesterday written in a more contemporary manner, it’s easy to see why the historical romances of today exploding in the bookworld.
I have read many books by Kate Noble now including all three in this Winner Takes All regency romance series and I’m excited to bring you third in the series, The Dare and the Doctor. Here are my thoughts.

A Winner Takes All Novel (#3)
National bestselling author Kate Noble’s THE DARE AND THE DOCTOR lures readers back to the dazzling, irresistible Winner Takes All Regency Romance series.
Synopsis:
Margaret Babcock has always been content with her quiet life in the country. But every now and then, she feels the urge to spread her wings. Her late mother used to whisper, “What’s the worst that could happen?” at the start of an adventure, and now Margaret’s continuing the tradition.
So when Dr. Rhys Gray, her longtime correspondent on matters botanical, invites her to speak to the London Horticultural Society about her new rose hybrid, she accepts. She’s excited about her first visit to London, but even more so about getting to see her friend Dr. Gray. When she arrives, Rhys is eager to show her the wonders of the city, and the two spend many happy hours together just as friends, of course! But would friends miss each other quite as fiercely when they’re apart; or feel such a spark when they’re together? Margaret finds that friendship with Rhys is much more complicated than she’d imagined…especially when it turns out her friend has forgotten that he may be promised to another woman.
The Dare and The Doctor by Kate Noble: Review
It’s easy to get hooked into these fun romance novels. The Dare and the Doctor is a continuation from The Lie and The Lady. We meet many of the same characters in each of the books of the series, but each can be read as a standalone too.
What I love about the writing of Kate Noble is that her style and flow of the story shines through. She always creates and casts strong women along with a strong man that beautifully offsets her and then crafts a tender love story with the lovely ending we crave.
Kate Noble makes it easy to fall in love with this style of writing. I know that it has changed the way I look at historical romances today. This book is yet another reason why I can fly through the pages and get transported back in time with a delightful story full of the hidden and reserved passion of the day. An amazing read!
