Publisher Description
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.
Customer Reviews
Enjoyable Characters
The characters are amusing and real, her portrayal of society at large quite accurate. Our value has to be found in the Savior and these characters demonstrate that well.
A Lady of Esteem
This novella is wonderful. I loved the story, the characters and the HEA but most of all, I loved that it exemplified the love of God and how He truly works in His children’s lives. And we are all His children.
Favorite Author
Regency is my favorite genre. Kristi Ann is my favorite modern author. (Marion Chesney my favorite deceased one.) I really appreciate the Christian message that she wraps into superbly compelling stories.
There is a great fraud, being perpetrated by women, Regency authors that sex with a difficult man will lead to love. It is terrible.
It is literally a Godsend to have an author like Kristi Ann. This is definitely a calling or mission.
My favorite books of hers are the Hawthorne series, Winning the Gentleman, and Vying for the Viscount.
I really would like to read a story about Aaron’s half brother in which the author further explore healing for both brothers.
My favorite stories are the ones that have characters from prior books involved in the plot and growing in depth.
Please also share tips on your writing process. We need more good authors out there.
Thank you!
