I think this was one of those books that was praised so much by the time I read it it wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. Don't get me wrong, it was good... but, not what I was hoping for. There were two problems I had with the book. One was that there were moments I found unneccessary that just caused the book to drag. I read this in October so I can't recall any specific instances. The best example I can give were the parts following Norah. I didn't find myself connected to them at all, and I think that also relates to the second problem I had with the book... So much of the book was about Norah's downward spiral after "losing" one of her children. I don't know why, but I had such a huge problem that she couldn't get over it. Before you attack me and say stuff like: "Well that's because you're not a mom, you don't know the bond that is created!" Let me say that, yes, that is why. I haven't birthed anything. I've lost people close to me and it hurts and is hard to get over... but you do keep on going and eventually life goes on and you can maintain the balance you had before hand. You would think that yes, losing a child you gave birth to is hard, but it wouldn't be as hard as one that you raised as well, you know? And you would also think that the consolation of still having that son would be something that would help you start to recover quicker. I could completely understand why Dr. Henry was upset after that day. Guilty conscience. But Norah's continuous moping for the years to come... I don't get it. It was why I enjoyed the parts following Caroline and Phoebe. Also because their story felt like it was continuing and growing while the story of the Henry family just sort of sat there... in the doldrums. You could easily look at that and say it was Edward's choice, and I accept that. I can even see it and understand it. The comparison of the two family's is full of such stark contradiction, that you can see the consequences one action can have and different people. How the same action can be a blessing and a curse. With that said, I'm going to say that you really need to form your own opinion about this book, which you should do with every book I review. You also need to understand that this is my opinion and I'm entitled to it. Obviously there have been a lot of other people who enjoyed this book, so take my review with a grain of salt. Good day!

Before Jaimey Grant’s Honor, I had never read a modern Regency romance and, save for a few classic authors such as Jane Austen, I’ve never been a big romance novel reader at all. So I was beyond pleasantly surprised by just how much I loved this beautiful story and to find I absolutely could not put it down until I read the last word. The novel opens with Lady Verena Westbridge fleeing her home so as to escape being forced into marriage. At first it seems that, perhaps, she is simply a strong-willed woman who disdains the customs of her day, but as her story unfolds, it becomes clear that her desire not to marry has a much more tragic foundation than only that of wishing to avoid a relationship with the loutish noble her father has chosen for her. Hiding her true identity and working as a housemaid, she is rescued from the unwanted attentions of one of the homeowner’s guests by Lord Connor Northwicke, who befriends Verena despite her efforts to dissuade him. When the truth of her station is discovered, however, Verena is forced to accept Connor’s offer of marriage to save her from her father’s terrible choice of husbands. It is only then, as she struggles with her new role of wife, that an understanding of her fears of marriage are brought to light, Connor’s patient attempt to earn her trust allowing her to slowly reveal the abuses she’s endured in her past. The depth and sensitivity with which the author portrays the horrific pain and humiliation Verena has suffered and the realistic depiction of her heartrending journey toward healing are exceptional, as is her portrait of both Connor’s gentle patience and terrible frustration as he tries to help Verena overcome her fears. This story offers the best and truest type of romance, for me, as Connor’s desire for Verena is born of real love, not simply physical attraction. Despite his natural human passions, his respect for Verena as a person and his longing to be with the woman he loves for everything he sees in her, gives Connor the strength of will to help her heal so she might know love in its fullness as well. Although the romance is not steamy in the sense of being graphic, there is definitely no lack of passion in this story, and both Connor’s frustrated desires and Verena’s conflicted feelings are extremely palpable and very moving. A beautifully-written and well-crafted story, I highly recommend this novel to any reader looking for an amazing historical romance which shows why there is no true love without honor for the beloved. I eagerly look forward to reading more works by this talented author. (I won this book in a blog contest, but was under no obligation to write a review.)
