When stable hand Nolan Price learns from his dying mother that he is actually the son of the Earl of Stainsby, his plans for a future with kitchen maid Hannah Burnham are shattered. Once he is officially acknowledged as the earl's heir, Nolan will be forbidden to marry beneath his station.
Unwilling to give up the girl he loves, he devises a plan to elope--believing that once their marriage is sanctioned by God, Lord Stainsby will be forced to accept their union. However, as Nolan struggles to learn the ways of the aristocracy, he finds himself caught between his dreams for tomorrow and his father's demanding expectations.
Forces work to keep the couple apart at every turn, and a solution to remain together seems further and further away. With Nolan's new life pulling him irrevocably away from Hannah, it seems only a miracle will bring them back together.

Oh, gosh. So much cringe.
But in a good way. Definitely a good way. Everyone needs one of these once in a while, right? A story about a stable hand who turns out to be the heir to a vast fortune and a title, but who marries his kitchen maid fiance in secret and then gets swept away from her by his new life. There's drama–make that melodrama!–galore, and surprise relations, and more than enough stupid decisions to fill the novel.
It's painful, on one level. But also fun.
I can't even pretend to review A Most Noble Heir as fine literature, but it serves its purpose well as chick lit: it's a good length, has no offensive content, and is written well enough to keep the reader's attention. Some of the adult characters are especially cringey, and I never really stopped hating Nolan's father, but I liked Nolan and Hannah and was definitely rooting for them. I could barely comprehend the reasoning behind why there was any drama about them potentially separating, but it made for a fun read so I won't pick at it too hard.
Really, that's all I can say about A Most Noble Heir. It's an entertaining read, but you have to be in the mood for it.
