Book Review: A Most Noble Heir by Susan Anne Mason




Nolan Price was a man with plans. He was careful for years to set himself up to rise above his situation and provide for the girl he loves and their families. But a deathbed confession from the mother who raised him tosses him in a completely different direction. Will he still have room in his life for the people who have always been closest to him?

Hannah Burnham had been rejected when her father passed away and her mother married again. Sent off to work as a kitchen maid in an earl’s mansion, she finds love. But when a huge change threatens to tear them apart she has decisions to make.

I really enjoyed this story. It takes place in England in the 1800s, which is a period of time I enjoy reading about. The plotline bothered me early on, because parts of it seemed to move too quickly, and I was waiting for the conflict in the romance that I’m used to seeing. It eventually surfaces, just not in the way I expected. The characters are challenged to examine their trust in God and each other, and multiple relationships begin to blossom as families learn to exist with new circumstances.

I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys romance with plot twists. It flows differently than what I’m used to, but in a very good way.
