Reviews for Lord Hunter's Cinderella Heiress

[wyvernfriend · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I found this quite a powerful read, even if the end felt a little rushed.Helen Tilney finds out she's engaged to Lord Hunter suddenly and she has to try to disengage herself, ensure her posessive, poisonous family have no input in her life and maybe find love with her first love. However Helen and Hunter's relationship starts to become more caught up with each other and their horses to be easy to undo. Nell is a great character and just doesn't take no as an answer well but she also suffers from a lot of stress aftereffects, as does Lord Hunter, but it's almost neglected for the end.

I loved this book. What a joy to find such well defined characters and such sparkling dialogue. Of course the hero was utterly swoon worthy but I was delighted to see the core of strength in our heroine which made their hea an equal partnership with each worthy of the other. The author showed such skill in developing the love story and building the sexual tension while keeping the whole believable in terms of the mores of a Regency romance. Thank you, Ms Temple for bringing such pleasure.
