Enchanting the Heiress - by Kristi Ann Hunter (Hardcover)

The most recent addition to Kristi Ann Hunter's regency world features a taciturn hero and a secretive albeit cordial heroine. As third in the series, I wouldn't necessarily read it as a standalone; the previous books feature cameos of both characters and give the reader a better sense of their histories and character. I'm not convinced the title is the best to encompass the general feeling of the novel. It led me to believe Jonas to be more of a charming or enticing hero to Harriet, but I would say the reverse is more accurate. Harriet says and does things semi-anonymously to positively change the lives of those around her. The end always justifies her means whether it's subtle manipulation or white lies. There are a few scenes that I enjoyed so much that I wanted more of. They showed off a more fun and banter-y side for both MCs. Give me all the adventure! Overall, this newest book continues my love for Kristi's writing style and her version of regency fiction. I want more of this world and will be happy to read any upcoming releases. Thank you to the author for the gifted copy. All thoughts in this review are my own.

I could not wait to get my hands on this book. I have enjoyed every novel I have read by Hunter, and knew this one wasn’t going to be an exception. I first met the main characters in Winning the Gentleman. I loved every moment I spent with them, and couldn’t wait to get to see them again. Jonas is super unique, and I was dying to get to know him on a deeper level. His love for his sister is evident in everything he does, but when will he put himself first? There isn’t a harder worker than he is, but working all the time gives him no free time to explore what his real passions might be. I love that his sister Sophia sees that he needs more than just the satisfaction of a hard days work, and decides to do something about it. Harriet has been known to get things done. Her meddling helped Sophia land the man of her dreams, and Sophia knows she’s the woman to help. Little does she know Jonas isn’t Harriet’s biggest fan, and doesn’t trust a word she says. I loved watching Jonas and Harriets’ interactions, neither knowing what to expect from the other. Kristi Ann Hunter kept my interest the whole time and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Romance. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers and was in no way forced to post a positive review.
