Good start to a promising series!
Bianca is an older daughter with a difficult stepmother and a generous and kind father. She wants to marry for love and is also madly in love with horses, especially the ones at the estate next door. When she meets Hudson she unwittingly mistakes him for a horse thief and attacks him with her boot!
Hudson (the Viscount) has been in India his entire life, hiding from his dangerous uncle....simultaneously being educated and trained as a proper Englishman to eventually assume his role as the Viscount. With his parents deceased and his Grandfather recently passed, he arrives in England very naive about everything....but horses.
When Bianca and Hudson realize they both must marry well to live their best lives, they agree to assist each other in finding the best mate. But will they soon discover that what they've been looking for all along has been right in front of them??
Kristi Ann Hunter is one of my favorite authors that focuses on this time period. She always impresses me with painting a clear picture of the time while (IMO) providing a modern language feel that doesn't seem contrived. I am hoping there are more books to come!
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
