New York Times bestselling author Carla Neggers returns with the second book in the Swift River Valley series, That Night on Thistle Lane, following Secrets of the Lost Summer.
More than just make-believe
Librarian Phoebe O’Dunn deals in stories, but her passion for history has taught her that happy endings are rare. Her life in Knights Bridge, Massachusetts, is safe and uneventful…until she discovers the hidden room.
Among its secrets is a cache of vintage clothing, including a spectacular gown—perfect for a gala masquerade in Boston. In the guise of a princess, Phoebe is captivated by a handsome swashbuckler who’s also adopted a more daring persona. Noah Kendrick’s wealth has made him wary, especially of women: everybody wants something.
When Noah and Phoebe meet again in Knights Bridge, at first neither recognizes the other. And neither one is sure they can trust the magic of the night they shared—until an unexpected threat prompts them to unmask their truest selves.
After all, it takes more than just the right costume to live out your personal fairy tale. It takes heart…and the courage to be more than you ever dreamed.

Summary
Overall That Night on Thistle Lane by Carla Neggars is part of the Swift River Valley series. Most of Carla’s books that I have read were a mystery. This one is
more romance and family with a small amount of mystery. This book can be read alone although Dylan and Olivia from book one play a minor role in this story too. I adored
Noah and Phoebe’s characters. Noah was a nerdy billionaire who fences and does karate. Phoebe was the town librarian which is partly why I wanted to read the book. I love a librarian as a lead character. Most of the romance is looks and kisses; no hot and steamy scenes. The masquerade ball was fun. The mystery is surrounding the man
that is following Noah around.
