    A Lady's Honor by Laurie Alice Eakes, 2014

    A Cliffs of Cornwall Novel

    On the cliffs of 19th-century Cornwall, a spirited, impetuous young woman is torn between the honor of her family and the longing of her heart.

    My Review:

    ~* wayfarers ~ just passing through *~

    The speed of the horses in the dark of night did not shelter them from the torrent of the blowing rain soaking in and splattering against them. There would be safety ahead, with a far distance from the hoofbeats and rumble of carriage wheels of the repulsive Romsford and his men. Elizabeth Trelawny, or "Elys," as her "brother Drake's voice" calmed her, rode alongside unhampered.

    If only her family allowed her to do anything for herself, she might know how to make wiser choices.

    --A Lady's Honor, 16

    I really like Elizabeth already... I like adventure and fun! Quickly scrambling behind a stack of barrels, sending vermin scurrying, clinging spiderwebs, and odors of spirits; I am hoping she doesn't sneeze. In the darkness of the inn, with flour dust flying, an escape is made out the back door and she is moving swiftly on horseback through the night; not alone, but accompanied by a man who first set eyes upon her ~ are you ready for this! ~ at the LIBRARY. Now then, wouldn't you say he has undeterminable value!

    Everything is not as it seems; friend or foe? Heart's deceit or longing?

    If you are ready for adventure and wondering who is the culprit, you will love this story along the Cornish coast path and caves at tide time.

    What a delightful story ~ here is a snippet of beautiful writings

    "Treasures in life that are worth more than dowries and property and the amount of money deposited in The Funds." He squeezed her hand. "Perhaps you should read those journals. In reading about their lives, perhaps you can work out what was missing. I think you already knew at one time in your life. But no time for reading now. Your grandmama wishes for you to join her in the garden parlor."

    --Ibid., 144

    May she realize The~Absolute~Treasure

    She slipped through a side door and into the garden. The fog lay so thickly over the ground she doubted anyone could see her from the house. Water dripped from tree branches and trellises in a rhythmic plop, plop, plop. Her kid slippers made no sound on the gravel path. When she opened the garden door to the cliff, even the sea sounded distant, its roar muted beneath the blanket of water. But she tasted salt spray on her lips and the tang of the water in her nostrils. The cold dampness awakened something deep inside her, a stirring need to run and shout and dive into the flattened waves.

    --Ibid., 155-156

    I am eager to read the following book, A Stranger's Secret, as A Cliffs of Cornwall Novel continues...

    Laurie Alice Eakes in her new book, A Ladys Honor Book One in the Cliffs Of Cornwall series published by Zondervan brings us into the life of Elizabeth Trelawny.

    From the back cover: On the cliffs of 19th-century Cornwall, a spirited, impetuous young woman is torn between the honor of her family and the longing of her heart.

    England, 1811

    A tarnished reputation. A distant home. A forced engagement to a dangerous man. When Elizabeth Trelawny flees London, she has more than one reason to run. And when her carriage, pursued by her would-be fianc, is caught in a storm, she quickly accepts the help of a dark stranger. Anything to get back to Cornwall.

    But Rowan Curnow is not exactly a stranger. Hes not quite a gentleman either. Class disparity once kept him from courting Elizabeth . . . even if it didnt keep him from kissing her.

    The couple elude their pursuers and reach Bastion Point, Elizabeths future inheritance and the one place she calls home. But in the very act of spiriting her to safety, Rowan has jeopardized Elizabeths inheritanceif her grandfather ever learns she spent the night, however innocently, in the company of a man.

    When smugglers unite the pair in a reckless, flirtatious alliancean alliance that both challenges the social norms Elizabeth has been raised to revere and rattles Rowans fledgling faith in God. Elizabeth must choose between the obedience of a child and the desires of a woman: cling to the safety of her home or follow the man she loves.

    What are you going to do when you are in London and being set up for an arranged marriage to a much older man? You take off and run for your family home in Cornwall. However when all does not go according to plan Elizabeth meets up with Rowan who helps her but also may have caused her to lose her inheritance. A Ladys Honor is a wonderful romance filled with mystery, intrigue, and scandal. These pages are filled with wonderful characters that live and breathe. A Ladys Honor is full of reputation, finding yourself, finding your place in the world and romance. This is an interesting story filled with lots of excitement and romance as well as history. I liked it a lot.

    Gothic meets Regency and sends me into a frenzied reader's tailspin. Eakes is one of my favourite authors. She knows how to take her readers on an exquisitely tense journey. I lost myself in the pages of A Lady's Honor. Thank goodness I was on holidays and could read straight through because, believe me, there's no good place to leave off until the very end and even then I was put out because it was over. :-)

    Hello -- Cornwall in 1811. Cliffs. Moors. Smugglers. Villainous cads. Dashing heroes. And a heroine struggling to find a balance between following duty and spreading her wings. A tight plot propels Elizabeth into one harrowing ordeal after another and Rowan is swept right along with her. He's made a pledge to keep her safe. She wants nothing to do with him...most of the time. He's rude. Arrogant. Totally unsuitable. Even if he's handsome and charming and tender at all the wrong times. Be still my heart. There's nothing left to say except -- awesome!

    Cornwall, England 1811

    I was drawn from the very beginning of the book. It starts out with Miss Elizabeth Trelawny fleeing from Lord Romsford. During the pursuit, she meets with her brother(or a least assumes it is him) who is saving her from a forced marriage to the dangerous Lord Romsford. Elizabeth finally returns safely to her beloved home, Bastian Point, with her grandparents.

    Some readers may be put off by the heroine's untruths and prideful ways but I loved to see how she began to accept God's love for her over time. Even her grandparents, who are believers, made mistakes in dealing with other family members and they realized it in the book. They tell her that if she finds this treasure Elizabeth will inherit Bastian Point.

    The mystery, suspense and twist and turns made this book very interesting and darker then your typical Regency books. Well written and with an engaging cast. There is also a nice description of the Cornwall coast.

    Strong inspirational message and I loved how the author weaved in the books bible verse found in Matthew 6:21 into the story. Clean Christian Regency. Eager for the next book in the series!

    Elizabeth (Elys) Trelawny is running from a marriage she doesn't want to a very dangerous and evil man in 1811. He's already had 2 wives murdered and she doesn't want to be the 3rd. Still her parents try to force the marriage because Romsfeld is a man of class and wealth.

    So Elizabeth literally runs. She runs for her life with Romsfeld on her trail. Then who she thinks is her brother sweeps her away to safety only to discover it's a stranger....but one she's seen before.

    She is drawn to Rowan Curnow but he is considered beneath her as he is only a secretary to Austell Penvenan. Austell decides he wants Elizabeth and her money for himself.

    Rowan has vowed to protect Elizabeth, and her two cousins...the plea of his friend before he was brutally murdered. Elizabeth is struggling with her faith, her love of Rowan (a man she feels she can't marry because of her family status and their expectations). Does Rowan love her for who she is and not her money? Can Jesus truly love her for who she is when she's never know unconditional love on earth?

    A wonderful story that is full of love, excitement, mystery, greed, and finding God's love.

    I received this book for free from the publisher through Book Look Bloggers for review. All opinions are my own. I was not required to give a positive review, I just liked the book!
