Fans of Downton Abbey, upstairs-downstairs, and rags-to-riches romance… brace yourselves, this story is about to knock your stockings off!! Nolan Price is a determined and hard-working (inescapably handsome) young man of faith, integrity, and loyalty. He’s also completely and entirely blindsided when his world is turned upside down by his mother’s final confession (who wouldn’t be?!). Hannah Burnham is a humble kitchen maid and devoted sister. Struggles with insecurities and unmet expectations in her relationship with Nolan lend Hannah an endearingly authentic personality. Delightful romance, intriguing mystery, complicated familial ties, and genuine faith earn this book a place among my all-time favorites! I highly recommend this story and would love to see a sequel featuring one of the sisters! I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and was under no obligation to post a review. The opinions expressed are my own.

I loved this book. One of my favorite types of stories is the story of forbidden love that conquers boundaries. This story begins with a love between two servants, but that all changes one fateful day. When Noble learns of who his biological father is, his life will never be the same. He’s always been curious about who the man is and why he’s not around. Now that he knows, he can’t help but wonder, would his life have been better if he remained ignorant? Now that it’s out in the open he’ll never know. His love for Hannah is true and as real as it comes. Being an Earls son comes with certain rules and regulations. Will true love prevail? I could hardly wait to find out. Mason kept me turning page after page waiting to see what would happen next. I loved the humor mixed in with the drama, and wasn’t ready for it to end. I grew to love each character and wasn’t ready to say goodbye. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Historical Romance. I received a copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers and was in no way forced to post a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

This is a wonderful historical romance! There are many delightful characters in this book. There are even some that it was very hard to like or connect with. All of them were extremely well developed. By the end of the book I had even found some redeeming qualities in those that I didn’t like. The story itself was fantastic. I was caught up in the drama of it and at times had to MAKE myself put the book down to deal with real life stuff. The way that the lives of the different characters entwined was fascinating. The descriptions of how the nobility relate to their servants was great. It was nice to see the comparison of how two different members of the aristocracy treat those beneath them was great.
