ABOUT THE BOOK

Set during the Industrial Revolution and the Great Exhibition of 1851, An Honest Heart is a “sitting-room romance” with the feel of a Regency-era novel but the fashions and technological advances of the mid-Victorian age.

Featuring dual romance stories, the main plot involves seamstress Caddy Bainbridge and the choice she must make between two men: one from the aristocracy, the other from the working class. Award-nominated author Kaye Dacus pinpoints the theme of honesty—both men in this love triangle have deep secrets to hide, and Caddy’s choice will be based on which of them can be honest with her.

Courtship . . . cunning . . . candor. Who possesses an honest heart?

MY THOUGHTS
Keeping secrets...doesn't go well for me, and both men in Honest Heart seem as thought they may be doomed as far as their chances with Caddy go. 

If it were me, I'd go for the working class, but then again, I was rather turned off by the circumstances of 'Mr. Aristocrat' and his reason for pursuing Caddy.

There were several interesting twists and turns that kept the book moving right along, oh...and Caddy's mom...all I can say is, what a woman!

If you like historical romance, you're in for a good read!
