Description

When stable hand Nolan Price learns from his dying mother that he is actually the son of the Earl of Stainsby, his plans for a future with kitchen maid Hannah Burnham are shattered. Once he is officially acknowledged as the earl's heir, Nolan will be forbidden to marry beneath his station.

Unwilling to give up the girl he loves, he devises a plan to elope--believing that once their marriage is sanctioned by God, Lord Stainsby will be forced to accept their union. However, as Nolan struggles to learn the ways of the aristocracy, he finds himself caught between pleasing Hannah and living up to his father's demanding expectations.

The story’s pace is more measured than what I usually read, but within a few pages, I found the author’s rhythm and this, along with the smooth writing style, made the book easy to read. I was never certain how the events would untangle so that all three people would be rewarded with a happy future, which kept me turning pages. If you like a well-told story about people adapting and thriving under trying circumstances, paired with an engaging romance, pick up a copy of A MOST NOBLE HEIR for a most enjoyable read.

3.5 Stars

A MOST NOBLE HEIR is a sweet story about a man who is torn between the desire to finally know his father and his original plans, which includes the one he loves. Moments of faith are woven through the story as he struggles to come to terms with his future and what exactly that future will hold. The characters are easily likable and the setting makes for a perfect backdrop for this story. An overall enjoyable read!

This story took a little bit of time to grow on me. I liked the beginning, but it didn't necessarily pull me in or make me want to find out how these characters' story would unfold. The characters were all likable and the plot worked, there just was something missing. However, the story did improve and the characters grew on me. I especially adored Hannah's aunt. I enjoyed seeing such a strong clash between the upper and lower classes and how Nolan had to navigate between the two as he moves from a lowly stable hand to a titled aristocrat. Even stronger was his struggle with his faith and with finding a way to hold on to the love he desired against all that opposed it. For those who love drama and danger, there is plenty of that in the second half of the book with a climatic ending that resolves sweetly. All the loose ends were tied up nicely, maybe a little too nicely for my taste.

In the end, was it what I wished for? A story that started slow, but finished well with plenty of twists and a sweet romance, making for a satisfying and uplifting story overall.

Content: Some adult subject matter and situations, but clean.
Source: I received a complimentary copy from the publisher through Litfuse Publicity, which did not require a positive review nor affect it in any way.
