This takes place at the same time as the other book, so the events at the end of that book come into this one too. This was a difficult but really sweet and hopeful story. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved Hadrian - Vicar or Not - He was Kind, Thoughtful and Persistent *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 18, 2014* I have mixed feelings about Grace Burrowes' books in general and I agree that some of her stories are very similar - Lonely, Hopeful, Honorable - whatever - many of these lords wind up on a country estate in close proximity to a woman they are attracted to although most do not immediately name or recognize their feelings as "love." Hadrian, at least had known Avis 12 years previously, when he was only 18 years old and before he became a Vicar. Called home by his Viscount brother, Harold, to stand in Harold's place while Harold travels to other lands where his relationship with his gentleman friend, Finch, might be more understood - Hadrian, at first is a little resentful of the fact his brother is leaving, isn't sure of how he feels about his wayward relationship with Finch but loves Harold enough to wish him well and takes up residence at the family seat.Of course, there's the longtime friend, Avis, who Hadrian has a past with and in fact, in his youth wanted to marry her but things went awry, he eventually married another woman, Rue, who passed away during the years he served as a vicar. He has left the ministry to come and tend to the home properties, he is lonely, he needs love and he wants something from Avis he has never had from any other woman - he wants her love and he wants her as his own.The romance in this book was sweet from Hadrian toward his gal. Avis, understandably has some major issues but one of her biggest issues is that she takes a long time to accept help from the right people. Having read her brothers' books, I find it difficult to believe they left her alone so much. I know it is somewhat explained in their books but still, it seems quite strange since they were both so responsible - in particular, Benjamin Hazlit.I would have given this book 5 stars easily because I really enjoy the casual, slow, drawn out descriptions of the simple pleasures of life during the typical days in her characters' lives that Ms. Burrowes has such a flair for when she writes her stories. The specific descriptions of food, the banter between men that occasionally seems almost "girlie" but is actually presented as characteristics in men who are comfortable in their own skin - not afraid to show affection, hugs and friendship. The reason I'm giving 4 stars as opposed to 5 stars is that I'm not particularly fond of the storyline about the woman who desperately needs her man, is willing to have him physically and engage his heart, then continues to resist making a long term commitment, telling herself it's for his own good - somewhat overdone in this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Lord of Hope: Strong command of the English language *by A***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 7, 2014* In LoH Ms. Burrowes shines with her English language skills. This is not your run-of-the-mill Regency story in the sense that the dialogue is very mature and well-developed. (For example, instead of writing Avis did not have brotherly feelings towards someone, Ms. Burrowes writes she has "neither brotherly nor avuncular" feelings.I do enjoy a story with "fifty-cent words" to challenge my own language, skills; however, the writing in LoH was both a blessing and a curse: everything is so c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y and s-l-o-w-l-y plodded out to the reader. (See above. The fact that Avis did not have "avuncular feelings" was irrelevant, just one of quite a few examples of "padded" writing in LoH.) Although it is clear from the beginning of the story that Hadrian and Avis have a past, the story is well over a third done before Ms. Burrowes fully explains that history. This sort of a delayed explanation can work for certain plots but for LoH. Before the disclosure, I was left wondering time and again why Avis would have such strong feelings for Hadrian.Additionally, it didn't ring true that someone who was as closely watched as Avis (by the ever-stern Lily/companion, neighbors, churchgoers, etc.) and who was hyper-sensitive about her reputation to boot would repeatedly wander off with Hadrian in plain view of others. To return home on his arm, disheveled and in some cases wet-haired, made no sense when the author repeatedly (I cannot emphasize "repeatedly" enough) described Avis as someone who wanted to "disappear" due to her past.This story really could have been a novella (a very good novella at that) with tighter editing. Yes, we need a history of what led Hadrian and Avis to that point in time, but key points don't have to be re-written literally dozens of times. This was a wonderful tale of redemptive love; I don't need pirates, explosions or kidnapping to enjoy a story but a country setting with protagonists working through 12 years of events had me skipping ahead quite a bit (and I really didn't miss anything). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1652657-hadrian-lord-of-hope-lonely-lords-paperback-june-10-2014](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1652657-hadrian-lord-of-hope-lonely-lords-paperback-june-10-2014) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-08*
