Vying for the Viscount
(Hearts on the Heath #1)
by
When a strange man
appears to be stealing horses at the neighboring estate, Bianca Snowley
jumps to their rescue. And when she discovers he's the new owner, she
can't help but be intrigued--but romance is unfeasible when he proposes
they help secure spouses for each other. Will they see everything
they've wanted has been there all along before it's too late?
My Review: 6/10
As much as I love this author (one of my favs), this one just wasn't my cup of tea. I didn't connect with the two main characters or their romance. While a lot of the "friendship" between them crossed the lines of propriety, the whole setting-each-other-up-while-really-pining-for-each-other thing has been done and overdone before, and I have trouble buying it. To be fair, Hudson seemed completely unaware of his feelings, but I also had trouble believing this.
And as much as I love cameos by former main characters, I am growing tired of these ones. It's not a quick mention or cheeky reference, but full assist to the main plot. We're 11 books in now. They don't all need to be interconnected and friends.
Ms. Hunter is still one of my favorite authors, however, and nothing can deter me from anxiously awaiting her next novel.
