Another fun， entertaining and suspenseful book from Nancy Campbell Allen。 I love that Eva， the main female character， was a strong independent woman。 She had a good back bone and a lot of sass。 I enjoyed the fact that the author knew or had researched a lot about early photography and incorporated it in the story as Eva’s employment。 Nathan was also an interesting character， the fact that he followed his passion for detective work， instead of relying on their family business was interesting。 The Another fun， entertaining and suspenseful book from Nancy Campbell Allen。 I love that Eva， the main female character， was a strong independent woman。 She had a good back bone and a lot of sass。 I enjoyed the fact that the author knew or had researched a lot about early photography and incorporated it in the story as Eva’s employment。 Nathan was also an interesting character， the fact that he followed his passion for detective work， instead of relying on their family business was interesting。 The story has a lot of twists and turns， a suspenseful plot and some great swoony romance。 What else could you want。 I highly recommend it。 。。。more

This book was awesome！ I loved Eva and Nathan。 I also loved little Sammy。 There was romance， there was mystery， there was humor。 It was hard to put this down as I was enjoying it so much。 This is the second in the series and I can’t wait for the other cousins story。 Highly recommend！

Thank you to the publisher for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review。 I did not read the first book in this series; however， I don't think that it's necessary to have read it before this one。Set in the 1800's， Eva Caldwell is a well known photographer who often documents crime scenes。 She is attracted to Detective Winston。One day Nathan shows up to ask a favor of Eva - would he photograph his mother's upcoming dinner party？ Along the way， a criminal tries to upend their lives。Thi Thank you to the publisher for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review。 I did not read the first book in this series; however， I don't think that it's necessary to have read it before this one。Set in the 1800's， Eva Caldwell is a well known photographer who often documents crime scenes。 She is attracted to Detective Winston。One day Nathan shows up to ask a favor of Eva - would he photograph his mother's upcoming dinner party？ Along the way， a criminal tries to upend their lives。This was a cute story。 I read it pretty quickly！ 。。。more

I’m here for murder mysteries that have me swoony over romance than blood。 I think Nancy Campbell Allen has the perfect touch of murder mystery meets romance and she delivers on both genres perfectly。 I loved that we get both POVs of our main characters。 And I’m here for fake relationships， but especially when we can get away with a fake relationship during historical England。 This is a Victorian romance that has elements of detective， fake dating， guy falls first， whodunit， conniving characters I’m here for murder mysteries that have me swoony over romance than blood。 I think Nancy Campbell Allen has the perfect touch of murder mystery meets romance and she delivers on both genres perfectly。 I loved that we get both POVs of our main characters。 And I’m here for fake relationships， but especially when we can get away with a fake relationship during historical England。 This is a Victorian romance that has elements of detective， fake dating， guy falls first， whodunit， conniving characters， sweet stolen moments （hello kisses）， and two working class heroes。 Oh how I loved this book。 It just released and if audiobook is your thing， Justine Eyre is the narrator。*this is book 2， but it stands alone perfectly。 I don’t think you need to read the first to understand what is happening in this story。 However！ I equally loved the first， so go check that one out too。 。。。more

I enjoyed the first book in Nancy Campbell Allen’s Matchmaker series and was happy to dig into book two， To Capture His Heart。 This book follows Eva， one of the cousins from book one。 The story gave me some Murdock Mysteries vibes， with a bit more romance。 I loved the trust Eva and Nathan have from the beginning of the story and how they work together。 I also enjoyed learning a bit more about photography during the Victorian time period。 Add in a cute kid， a dash of intrigue， and a house party， I enjoyed the first book in Nancy Campbell Allen’s Matchmaker series and was happy to dig into book two， To Capture His Heart。 This book follows Eva， one of the cousins from book one。 The story gave me some Murdock Mysteries vibes， with a bit more romance。 I loved the trust Eva and Nathan have from the beginning of the story and how they work together。 I also enjoyed learning a bit more about photography during the Victorian time period。 Add in a cute kid， a dash of intrigue， and a house party， and you have a cozy mystery perfect for this time of year。 *Thank you to Nancy Campbell Allen， Shadow Mountain， and Netgalley for an e-arc of this book。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

This was adorable - the couple was obviously in love with each other and not shy about it。 Once they got through that first confession， they started saying "I love you" in the middle of conversations and I would just melt。 Absolutely adorable kiss scenes but no sex scenes。 I also really liked the mystery aspect of the book - it kept me engaged the entire time with it's nuances。 This was adorable - the couple was obviously in love with each other and not shy about it。 Once they got through that first confession， they started saying "I love you" in the middle of conversations and I would just melt。 Absolutely adorable kiss scenes but no sex scenes。 I also really liked the mystery aspect of the book - it kept me engaged the entire time with it's nuances。 。。。more

Title: To Capture His Heart Author: Nancy Campbell Allen Genre: RomanceRating: 4 out of 5I liked that this wasn’t just a romance novel: there was the mystery of what was happening with the criminal from Nathan’s past。 I absolutely adored Nathan’s four sisters and the family’s relationships， so that added another level of fun。 Eva is unconventional， but not blatantly so， and Nathan is open-minded enough to appreciate her fully。 This was a fun read。（Galley courtesy of Shadow Mountain Publishing in Title: To Capture His Heart Author: Nancy Campbell Allen Genre: RomanceRating: 4 out of 5I liked that this wasn’t just a romance novel: there was the mystery of what was happening with the criminal from Nathan’s past。 I absolutely adored Nathan’s four sisters and the family’s relationships， so that added another level of fun。 Eva is unconventional， but not blatantly so， and Nathan is open-minded enough to appreciate her fully。 This was a fun read。（Galley courtesy of Shadow Mountain Publishing in exchange for an honest review。） 。。。more

Eva has been betrayed before and has no intention of opening her heart again。 Unfortunately， her heart may have other ideas！ When Detective Nathan Winston accidentally gets her invited to his mother's house party as a potential love interest， she goes along with it， despite the danger to her heart。 But more than her heart is at stake: a criminal mastermind who escaped from Nathan earlier is on the warpath following the death of his sister in prison。 Can they escape Toole's plans and avoid a fata Eva has been betrayed before and has no intention of opening her heart again。 Unfortunately， her heart may have other ideas！ When Detective Nathan Winston accidentally gets her invited to his mother's house party as a potential love interest， she goes along with it， despite the danger to her heart。 But more than her heart is at stake: a criminal mastermind who escaped from Nathan earlier is on the warpath following the death of his sister in prison。 Can they escape Toole's plans and avoid a fatal conclusion to the house party？ And which will win: Eva's head， or her heart？An enjoyable sweet romance with a side （or backdrop？） of mystery。 With an entertaining host， a mysterious villain， a detective who's desperate to keep those he cares about safe， an independent young photographer who's yet to work out what she wants， and an amusing cast of fellow house-guests， not to mention young Sammy， this is a delightful character-driven story， and the mystery that hovers in the background from the start adds a great touch。 If you're looking for a mystery that focuses on the mystery， this isn't it， but if you like a hint of mystery in your romance， this definitely delivers。 I enjoyed watching Nathan and Eva coming to terms with their supposedly fake relationship and working out what they want it to be， and the mystery made for a great background。 A good story - 4。5 stars。Note that I received a complimentary copy of the book from NetGalley。 I was not required to write a positive review and this is my considered opinion of the book。 。。。more

I enjoyed Book 2 of this series just as much as the first。 I 💗 the slow burn and sweetness of this romance。 Eva and Nathan （Detective Winston） are great partners in solving this mystery and as a couple。 😍 Can’t wait for the third。

I did not like this book， which is disappointing because the reviews I read made it sound so interesting。There was way too much exposition and “telling” instead of “showing。” The author would give details about filler movements， but then make tiny jumps during action scenes that left me confused。 And the characters were weirdly omniscient。The romantic tension dissolved by chapter 10。The mystery was vague。

To Capture His Heart is another great addition to the Proper Romance Series from Shadow Mountain。 Allen has created a great group of characters， and it was fun to have the focus on Eva this time。 She and Nathan "pretending" to like each other made for an entertaining story， and the mystery kept me on my toes。 All of the characters were well-developed， and I couldn't help but be interested in what happened to them。 It was a very fast read， and one I can see myself reading again。 To Capture His Heart is another great addition to the Proper Romance Series from Shadow Mountain。 Allen has created a great group of characters， and it was fun to have the focus on Eva this time。 She and Nathan "pretending" to like each other made for an entertaining story， and the mystery kept me on my toes。 All of the characters were well-developed， and I couldn't help but be interested in what happened to them。 It was a very fast read， and one I can see myself reading again。 。。。more
