BOOK REVIEW- A LADY OF ESTEEM-Miss Amelia Stalwood may live in London at her absent guardian's townhouse, but she's never actually met any nobility, and instead of aristocrats, her closest friends are servants. Quite by happenstance, she's introduced to the Hawthorne family and their close family friend, Anthony, the reformed Marquis of Raebourne . They welcome her into their world, but just as she's beginning to gain some confidence and even suspect she may have caught Anthony's eye, she's blindsided by an unexpected twist in her situation accompanied by nasty rumors. Will she lose her reputation when the world that has only just accepted her turns its back on her, or will she rest in the support of the friends who've become like family and the man who's shared his faith and captured her heart?
A Lady of Esteem is an e-only novella that gives an exciting introduction to Kristi Ann Hunter's new Regency romance series about the aristocratic Hawthorne family! Includes an extended excerpt of Kristi's debut full-length novel, A Noble Masquerade AMAZON
What a charming story. Amelia was such a kind, loving person. You just couldn't help but root for her. She had such a unique "family" of servants. It made the story different from some other stories that I have read, I liked it a lot. There were also plenty of interesting people, who were secondary characters in the story. Not so many as to make it confusing but enough to add to the story.
Its also interesting that I forgot this book is a Novella. I didn't remember until I began this review. I think that is a credit to the author.
This is a clean reading story, but that doesn't leave romance and friendship between Amelia and Anthony out of it. There is some humorous happenings between them. Even their first meeting is unusual.
The bonus excerpt of "A Noble Masquerade", also sounds interesting.
