On her deathbed, Nolan Price's mother reveals that his father is the Earl of Stainsby, whom she had secretly married. Now a stablehand, Nolan realizes that once he is officially recognized and accepted into the nobility, he will be unable to marry beneath his station, threatening his future with Hannah Burnham, a kitchen maid. As Nolan grapples with the ways of the aristocratic world, he sees his future moving further away from its original trajectory, and marriage to Hannah seems but a faded dream at best.
VERDICT An immersive narrative and sympathetic characters are highlights of this heartwarming novel from Mason (Love's Faithful Promise) about the importance of family, the power of love, and the faith to pursue your heart's desire. For readers seeking a well-written Victorian romance in the vein of Laura Frantz or Jocelyn Green.
