And I have to say, I wasn't disappointed. This is an enjoyable read, even if you haven't read anything by her before. It's well-written with well thought out characters and a good story. It's even more interesting, at least for me, when you realize that it involves a real location and at least one real person. (And yes, I do realize that she was fictionalized a bit in this book.)I found both Claire and Sutton to be enjoyable characters, and did enjoy the way their romance progressed. Much like many novels involving romance, it's pretty easy to tell they're going to be the two involved in the book early on, so I'm not giving much away there. But despite knowing that, I will say the path their romance took wasn't completely obvious the whole way through - there are a few points where it doesn't do the "expected", though I don't want to give anything away so I won't be much more specific than that.The story itself also didn't take a path that I was afraid it was going to at one point - I was a bit afraid that the story would focus too much on Claire's past with her father's art gallery and the forging, but that actually was a secondary story, which was nice. (Otherwise, it ran the risk of being pretty typical - girl hides past, boy finds out on his own, boy gets ridiculously mad, girl gets ridiculously defensive, boy and girl act like children rather than discussing. But I should have realized that was unlikely with this author, having read some of her other books.) It really made the story about Belmont, Adelicia Acklen, and Claire and Sutton's involvement with all of the above much more the center. And given that this is listed as a "Belmont Mansion Novel" I see that as a good thing.The primary reason I didn't give this five stars instead of four is just because there were a few instances where characters weren't really revisited much, or weren't dealt with more. Admittedly, they weren't vital to the main story, but early on an impression was given that they would be a bit more than they were. Eva (one of the servants Claire meets early on) and Mrs. Routh (who is unfortunately a bit underdeveloped, but one of the only characters to come across that way to me) both come to mind. So that's really only a half star loss to me, and it's possible they weren't covered a whole lot because they'll come along again in the future. After all, this is the first book in a trilogy, all involving Belmont Mansion somehow.Overall, a 4.5 star book, and one I would definitely recommend it to fans of historical fiction, inspirational fiction, Tamera Alexander, or all of the above! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Tamera Alexander novel to date. *by K***H on Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2015* Tamera Alexander is quickly becoming a new favorite author for me. I love her books: they are historical Christian fiction with clean, sweet love stories. I can easily lose myself in one of her stories, and each one I read seems to be better than the last.A Lasting Impression is the first Belmont Mansion novel. The Belmont Mansion series features Adelicia Acklen, one of the wealthiest women in the United States in the 1860s. Tamera Alexander visited Belmont Mansion and knew that she was going to write about the home and its inhabitants. Alexander was able to use some of Adelicia Acklen's correspondence to get a feel for what kind of woman she was, as she was developing her character. Fiction novels based on real people and places are always so interesting to me. I love the feeling that I'm learning about history as I read.As in her other novels, Alexander's writing style has such a great flow to it in A Lasting Impression. I was drawn in from the very first page, and for such a long book, there really were no slow parts. I like the way Alexander moves the story through time so effortlessly. Oftentimes, skipping weeks feels like a jump ahead, and it makes the story feel choppy. Not so with this novel. The plot moved seamlessly forward at a pace that made it hard for me to put the book down.Claire made a journey to faith in A Lasting Impression, and that part of the story was especially poignant. Alexander wrote it beautifully, and one conversation in particular between Claire and Adelicia really stayed with me.Claire is an artist, and the emphasis on art made the story feel even richer. I loved following Claire's creative process, even though she struggled at times. Her struggles made her work more authentic for me. And Adelicia's art collection was staggeringly beautiful---and that's just reading about it, not even seeing it!The character development was very well-done, with a lot of growth in the characters throughout the course of the novel. I loved that. Alexander's imagery, as well, was outstanding.I really loved A Lasting Impression. I can't get enough of Tamera Alexander's books! If you are a fan of historical, Christian, or clean romance, I would highly recommend this series! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Doesn't Dissapoint *by W***2 on Reviewed in Canada on July 12, 2012* After reading several samples of various books, I chose to read this one, and I'm happy I did. Tamera once again doesn't fail to deliver. This was a great read, and I found myself up far to late reading reading reading. I could barely put the book down. *May contain spoilers* Claire, who is an artist, but got her start as a forger, embarks on a journey to become the woman God wants her to be. After a robbery at her fathers art gallery, she is forced to flee. After some unfortuante circumstances, Claire finds herself in the employee of possibly the richest woman in Nashville, but ever frightened that her past is going to come back to haunt her, leaving her jobless, pennyless and not able to find work again in Nashville. A great read, that will have you laughing, crying and sitting on the edge of your seat. Very descriptive, which brings the setting as well as the characters to life. --- ## 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.com.ar/products/1486183-a-lasting-impression-a-belmont-mansion-novel](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/1486183-a-lasting-impression-a-belmont-mansion-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
