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.

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.
Insipid, trite, and preachy
I’m the wrong demographic for this writer: had I known it was a Christian-focal romance, I would not have chosen it. If you’re not a ‘committed Christian’, I wouldn’t read this or others in the series.
Amelia was almost three-dimensional, Anthony barely two. Amelia’s inclusion of servants in her life was lovely, even if it was because she was so lonely. Her birth family didn’t deserve her.
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.
