Publisher's Summary

Hampton Hall's new owner has the villagers of St. Hampton Heath all aflutter - all except Lavinia Ellison. The reverend's daughter cares for those who are poor and sick, and the seventh Earl of Hawkesbury definitely does not meet that criteria. His refusal to take his responsibilities seriously, or even darken the door of the church, leave her convinced he is as arrogant and reckless as his brother - his brother who stole the most important person in Lavinia's world.

Nicholas Stamford is shadowed by guilt: his own, his brother's, the legacy of war. A perfunctory visit to this dreary part of Gloucestershire wasn't supposed to engage his heart, or his mind. Challenged by Miss Ellison's fascinating blend of Bluestocking opinions, hoydenish behavior, and angelic voice, he finds the impossible becoming possible - he begins to care. But Lavinia's aloof manner, society's opposition and his ancestral obligations prove most frustrating, until scandal forces them to get along.

Can Lavinia and Nicholas look beyond painful pasts and present prejudice to see their future? And what will happen when Lavinia learns a family secret that alters everything she's ever known?

Seemed a bit looming... but ok story.

This story is the first in a trilogy of Grace. The overall story was interesting. However, it seemed to drag on even though it was under 10 hours - average for an audiobook. It became apparent half way through that it is a Christian based romance. That did not distract me, but there were a lot of Bible verses throughout the tale, not just referenced, but printed. A few might have worked well, I just felt that it was a bit overdone. If you like this type of story, I would recommend it even though I had to fast forward a few times to advance the story a bit.

The narration was fine. Varied voices and accents assured the reader could identify the speaker, especially for the more main characters.
