When I started reading Pearl’s Promise, I was delighted to learn more about the character Pearl Acton. She’d been in Ruby’s Redemption, Book One, in the Gems of Grace Series. It was nice to reconnect with this young woman. Pearl had been in love with Henry Stratton, the minister at her church. I’d felt sorry for her that a marriage between her and Henry hadn’t happened. Her sweet and gracious nature caught my attention so when in Book 2, her parents demand she marry for money, I sympathize greatly with her. Pearl doesn’t want to marry some man with money but wants to marry for love.
Unfortunately, her father has lost his fortune, so he arranges for Pearl to go to live with his cousins, the Maxwells. Her father wants her to marry wealthy Mr. Clarence. Pearl sees how Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell are in love and not at all like her parents’ loveless marriage. She’s afraid her arranged marriage will not be happy when she doesn’t love Mr. Clarence and he isn’t a man she wants to marry. She feels that there isn’t a choice when her father is counting on her to marry for money.
When wealthy Nicholas Dalton’s father sends him to London for the season, he’s unhappy to leave a very ill tenant. The elder Mr. Dalton is a cruel man with no feelings for his tenants. Nicolas is just the opposite with a big heart and wants to improve the conditions for the tenants. Nicholas is speechless when he sees the beautiful Pearl for the first time. His shyness continues and Nicholas has difficulty in approaching Pearl when he’s in London.
Pearl’s Promise has many things included to make you feel you’re in the regency period with the afternoon teas, a social season packed with balls and dances. Pearl’s Promise is a faith-filled story with the teachings of Christ developed very well in this romance.
