My Fair Lover is the first book I have read by Nicole Jordan but it won’t be the last. I have been in a historical romance mood lately and this book came to my attention at just the right time. Even though this is the 5th book in the Legendary Lovers series, I didn’t feel like I was missing anything by not having read the first four.

Lady Katherine Wilde is well known among the rich and titled of London. She is rich and beautiful but holding out for the one thing she isn’t sure she will ever find...true love. Katherine is also still single. When she took a chance on Brandon Deverill six years ago and he spurned her, she realized that she wouldn’t compromise on her wish for true love. Now, Brandon is back in London and Katherine has made a deal with him that will make them both realize how right they are for each other.

When Brandon left England, he was headed into battle and knew he couldn’t compromise Katherine and just leave. Now that Brandon is back to claim his title, he needs help to be more of an English nobleman and less of a privateer. This includes his need for a wife. When Brandon comes face to face with Katherine, he knows she is the one he wants…he just has to convince her of the same thing.

The relationship and banter between these two characters was good and the overarching story was about more than just the romance. Part of the deal was that in exchange for Katherine helping Brandon be more of a gentleman, Brandon was going to help Katherine hunt down the ship her parents died on so she could see if she could recover some family treasure. It is during the trip where we see the relationship between these two characters change / progress and they also come to realize just how much they care about each other.

There were a number of other characters who helped to move the story along. While in France they had to work closely with someone who Brandon knows from his privateer days and of course, they don’t have a good relationship which makes for some interesting turns within the story. Katherine’s family members involved in helping Brandon win her over were a great add as well.

Overall I enjoyed the story that Jordan wrote and I will definitely be checking out other books by her. If you are looking for a quick historical romance that will have you wondering how things will go, check this one out.
