A Bride of Honor
By Ruth Axtell Morren
Review by Roseanna White


Damien has long since given up the desire for a wife to help him in his ministry—until he looks out over his congregation one morning and sees a beautiful young lady. He soon learns that she’s a society debutant, Miss Lindsay Phillips. A sweet, earnest young woman well out of his league. He’s pleased when she seeks his advice in becoming closer with the Lord, but he must stop his imagination from making more of her attention. Still, when he learns of how unhappy she is in an engagement arranged by her father, Damien prays that somehow the Lord will use him to help her.

Lindsay has always been an obedient daughter, but when her father informs her that she will marry a man she finds vile, rebellion overtakes her. She must get free of his plan, but the only person she can think of to help her is Reverend Damien Hathaway. He is everything she could ever hope for in a man . . . but will her rash decision to turn to him destroy his life and ministry?

A Bride of Honor is a thoroughly engaging story that will sweep readers away to Regency England and spellbind them with the heart-wrenching romance of selfless love and seeking faith. I fell in love with the characters right away—Lindsay, who is so sweet I wanted to wrap my arms around her, and Damien, a man of upright heart and spotless honor. Through every twist and bump of their relationship, I found myself pleading that the obstacles be removed so they could receive the happiness they so deserve.

A Bride of Honor will capture your imagination and not let it go again. Romance, history, and faith combine in a novel that will leave you aflutter. The writing is superb, the plot gripping, and the characters will win your heart from the first page. Yet again Ruth Axtell Morren has crafted a book that Regency lovers will not want to miss!
