ABOUT THE BOOK:
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 once their marriage is sanctioned by God that 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 his dreams for tomorrow and his father's demanding expectations.
Forces work to keep the couple apart at every turn, and a solution to remain together seems farther and farther away. With Nolan's new life pulling him irrevocably away from Hannah, it seems only a miracle will bring them back together.

MY REVIEW:
This is one of those books where you love each and every character - even the ones that aren't so lovable - because the author has made them so real and so human and you can relate to something in each of them.
I really like the main character of Nolan because he is a man of principle. I love how he loves and that he understands Hannah so much. Hannah is the girl he loves and I just adore her. She has not been loved well in her life so for Nolan to set her high in his life, is just lovely to see.
We see Nolan go from a stable boy to being made aware that he is actually the heir of the Earl of Stainsby. Both of these men are headstrong and feel they know what is right and wrong. It's an interesting dynamic when these two get together.
My favorite character in the book is the Duchess, Iris. Her common sense, her love, her lightness in a dark situation, made this story even more enjoyable. She is such a fun character and I wanted to get to know her even more.
This is a wonderful story full of wonderful characters. I really enjoyed it and I think you will, too. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
