Enchanting the Heiress

Written by Kristi Ann Hunter

Narrated by Beverley A. Crick

Miss Harriet Hancock enjoys playing the role of eccentric heiress, using her wealth and influence to cleverly and anonymously better the lives of those in Newmarket. Though she keeps people at a distance to protect a years-old secret, when her friend pleads for help on a personal project, Harriet can’t resist.

Stable hand Jonas Fitzroy would do anything for his twin sister, even if it means seeking out the woman whose meddling ways have made him wary and suspicious. The last thing he expects is for Miss Hancock to request his help in writing a book. Intent on revealing her underlying plan, Jonas agrees.

As they work together, an unexpected friendship forms. But when things for once don’t go according to Harriet’s plan, she’s left wondering if good intentions might not be enough. Is there a way to mend the broken pieces of her life? And will Jonas give her another chance at his heart?

Reviews for Enchanting the Heiress

[lifeofliterature · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Having greatly enjoyed the first two novels in the Hearts on the Heath series, I was very excited to dive into this third book. I was delighted to read more about characters and focus in particular on Harriet and Jonas, who were introduced to us in the previous books. (Although you do not necessarily have to read these stories in order, I do recommend it as you get some more background information on the different individuals.) I love how Kristi Ann Hunter writes about characters that have great growth and development in her stories. I didn’t connect with Harriet and Jonas as immediately as I did the previous two couples, but I really liked reading about them changing for the better in the book. Their banter was fun too! There is a little mystery to the novel as both have secrets that are revealed during the story. I liked the spiritual theme of seeking God’s plan for your life. I have really enjoyed this Regency fiction and look forward to what the author writes next!I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. Opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Harriet and Jonas are a wonderful couple that come from different backgrounds. Will they be able to get past these differences as they become friends and maybe even more. Both of these characters have secrets and must decide if they can trust each other and get past these secrets. This made me laugh and sometimes cry. I did not want to put the book down. I received a copy of this book from the author for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.

This read took a bit for me to get into it, but I kept going and glad I did!I loved the banter that went on between the two main characters, Harriett wants to help everyone, she feels that is her gift! Now Jonas, he wants to be left alone, he likes standing by the walls out of the way. We are along for the interaction between these two, and I found myself laughing out loud!Can these two unlikely people forge any kind of a relationship? You will wonder as you turn the pages, but you have to keep turning for answers!I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.

I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley.I remember liking the cover of this novel, but I'm not going to be able to finish it. Maybe it would make more sense if I had read the first two instalments, but I think the set up is meant to be that Miss Hancock is to take her companion Sophia with her to London, but pretend to the household that they are going to the continent. Then news will leak out that they are still in England and Aaron, a groom, will somehow thereby be galvanized into proposing to Sophia. I gave up at the point where Lord Stildon, Sophia's brother Jonas, and various other grooms meet up in the stable to discuss Aaron's love life, before Aaron and Joans set off for London in a carriage.I just can't...

“People didn’t have to abandon themselves in order to make a meaningful life, though. They just had to open who they were to the world.”Harriet and Jonas. Their story is enchanting from the start. Their misunderstandings are intriguing, their conversations and banter are absolutely delightful, and their friendship that evolves into romance is delicious. Harriet, with her grand schemes that are over-the-top, and Jonas, with his self-deprecation and wonderings about his purpose, are such complete opposites yet balance each other out well. Jonas’ gift with words is lovely to behold and his letters are breath-taking. The lengths to which Harriet goes to deceive her father felt a bit unreal but was quite necessary, as this is how Harriet and Jonas become friends. I really enjoyed the cameo appearances of other characters from the author’s previous series. I received the book from the publisher/author and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.
