Test of Gold
(Hearts of Gold, Book 1)
By Renee Yancy
Raised in the shadow of a mother who defied convention, but won’t allow her own daughter the right to make the same choices, heiress Evangeline Lindenmayer has been groomed since childhood to marry into the British aristocracy.
When Lindy challenges her mother’s long-laid plans by falling in love with a poor seminary student, the explosion is bigger than the Brooklyn Bridge fireworks on Independence Day.
A tender romance. A controlling mother. And a young woman determined to take control of her own future.
Test of Gold by Renee Yancy is a Cinderella story in reverse. Evangeline isn't looking for a handsome prince - she is looking for a way to escape the destiny that her mother has so carefully planned for her. And to make matters worse, instead of a duke, which would be the ultimate triumph for her mother. Lindy falls in love with a man who is most unsuitable!
This novel is not a typical romance. The heroine is not swept off her feet. Instead, she has to find the courage to break free from her mother's influence and hold.
Lindy's mother is a vile creature - worse even than Cinderella's step-mother. The lengths she is willing to go to to get what she wants is truly awful. And how Lindy comes out the other side is a testimony to her strength and her determination.
I thought this was a fantastic novel from beginning to end, and although it is not a typical romance, it is one of those stories that, once read, is impossible to forget.
I am so glad you enjoyed Test of Gold.
