Sobre la trilogía «Un romance en Londres» se ha dicho...«Me encantan las novelas románticas de corte histórico, son mis favoritas, pero si además están ambientadas en la Regencia inglesa, puedo decir sin equivocarme que no me van a defraudar. Este es el caso de Rivales de día, amantes de noche de Nieves Hidalgo. [...] Personalmente no puedo pedir más, porque disfrutar de la trama ha hecho que descubra unos protagonistas con mucha química y que me entren ganas de descubrir el siguiente volumen de la saga.»Blog Promesas de amor «En un ambiente y un siglo para nada feminista, Nieves crea un personaje que a mí me parece un muy buen reflejo del feminismo; alguien que lucha por sus ideales propios defendiendo lo que cree sin dejar que su condición de mujer la limite. Y sin dejarse tampoco atosigar ni dominar por el hombre del que termina enamorándose.»Blog justonemorescaredwriter.blogspot.com
