title: Nicholas: Lord of Secrets (The Lonely Lords)
author:  Grace Burrowes 
description: "Ms. Burrowes' continually presses the bar and goes above and beyond the normal to give her readers phenomenal love stories that keep us manic for more." - <strong><em> Romantic Crush Junkies EZine</em></strong><br /><br />"[Burrowes'] eloquent writing style keeps the story flowing well and kept me interested right to the end." - <strong><em> Night Owl Reviews</em></strong><br /><br />"I commend Grace Burrowes for not sticking to a conventional historical romance trope. She took a classic damsel in distress story and gave her a hero who needed a bit of saving himself. The characters were compelling, and I never lost interest in their story" - <strong><em> 3 Chicks After Dark</em></strong><br /><br />"Grace Burrowes creates characters, that are emotionally damaged in some way but still manage to be the most forgiving and caring and courageous individuals you could possibly imagine... I always find myself wanting to step into the pages of the book, so I can simply hug the dickens out of these characters and I'm betting you will to." - <strong><em> Novels Alive</em></strong><br /><br />"Another beautifully written story. The characters are wonderful, and the story definitely holds your interest... Highly recommended. " - <strong><em> Romantic Historical Lovers</em></strong><br /><br />"Exquisite... breathtaking and heartwarming. " - <strong><em> Long and Short Reviews</em></strong><br /><br />"NICHOLAS makes a great addition to the Lonely Lords series, and I enjoyed this book just as much as DARIUS. Ms. Burrowes has earned a place on my must read list." - <strong><em> Book Lover and Procrastinator</em></strong><br /><br />"Yet another wonderful book from Ms. Burrowes and I just have to keep devouring these books as quickly as they come out" - <strong><em> Reviews by Molly</em></strong><br /><br />"There were moments in this book that had me laughing and weeping and continuously turning the pages." - <strong><em> The Royal Reviews</em></strong><br /><br />"Grace Burrowes pens a very realistic historical romance. She has the ability to bring the scene alive as if we have been set down in the time period" - <strong><em> LaDeetda Reviews</em></strong>
