Amber Marie Sterlington, the Rage of the Season in Regency-era London, has her pick of men, and she knows what she wants most in a husband: a title and a fortune. Why would she ever marry for something as fickle as love? And why would she ever look twice at Thomas Richards, a third son of a country lord?
But when Amber's social standing is threatened, the character of her future husband becomes far more important than his position. After a public humiliation, she finds herself exiled to Yorkshire. Alone except for her maid, Amber is faced with a future she never expected in a circumstance far below what she has known all her life. Humbled and lonely, Amber begins to wonder if isolation is for the best. Who could ever love her now?

From that day forward, she read everything she could get her hands on and accredits her writing “education” to the many novels she has “studied” since then.

My review: A Heart Revealed by Josi S. Kilpack
4 STARS
This a Regency- era romance. The character of Amber is all the rage of London ton. but she is spoiled and not so nice. She has something happen to her that makes her a outcast. She slowly changes and my opinion kept changing with her changes.
This is full of drama, hardships, and is hard to put down. You want Amber and Thomas to find out the secrets of each other. I wanted to yell at other characters.
I can understand how Amber just wanted to hide away from everybody. The longer she did the harder it would be to reach out.
I really liked Suzanne's character. She really was a special person. She suffered lots of loss because she could see she was needed.
Thomas fell in love with Amber. He made some good life choices. I really liked how he played with his niece. He was a hard worker.
This is a clean read.
The first part of the book is London. The season of the Ton. The rest of the book is more of the England countryside.
I was given this ebook to read by Net Galley and Shadow Mountain Publishing. In return I agreed to give a honest review of A Heart Revealed and be part of it's blog tour.
