Vying for the Viscount by Kristi Hunter

There is nothing better in this world than a good Regency story which of course includes Lords & Ladies,  horses, balls & assemblies, family drama, match-making mamas, sparring language, some mystery, and of course a satisfying romance. Kristi Hunter’s new book Vying for the Viscount is all that a Regency story should be plus it is filled with Ms. Hunter’s wonderful wit and explores the faith journey of the main characters Bianca and Hudson. 

I can not tell you the last time I enjoyed such a wonderful Regency story. I was transported to Regency England where I loved learning about horse racing, and fell in love with the main characters Bianca and Hudson.  Both are love-able, interesting, and awkward enough to endear them to you forever.  Bianca’s family will keep you guessing throughout the story on whether you should love or hate them.  Truly a great read that Regency lovers do not want to miss. I highly recommend Vying for the Viscount.

A Dazzle of Diamonds by Liz Johnson

A Dazzle of Diamonds
(Georgia Coast Romance – book 3)

Penelope Hunter loves her job as the events manager at one of Savannah’s premier historic venues–until her ex-fiancé walks into her office with his new bride-to-be. To make matters worse, a scheming social matriarch is intent on seeing Penelope fired, especially if she insists on being seen with Tucker Westbrook.

Since returning from serving two tours in the Middle East, Tucker has built a thriving security company. His work is nearly as stabilizing as his friendship with Penelope, who has been by his side since childhood. But when the lone candidate for county sheriff goads him, Tucker loses his cool and ends up on the ballot–and on the receiving end of a smear campaign claiming the Westbrooks were traitors to the South.

To clear his name, Tucker and Penelope must join forces to find the truth behind a 150-year-old lost treasure. But the more time they spend together, the closer she comes to losing her job–and falling helplessly in love.

A Dazzle of Diamonds is the third book in the Georgia Coast Romance series.  The story follows best friends Penelope Hunter and Tucker Westbrook  as they navigate their friendship, romance, faith, a mystery, an old diary, and discover that their past does not control their future.  It is a wonderful story that had me smiling and sighing. The secondary characters such as Aunt Shirley  were delightful as well and added to the story.  Being set in the beautiful town of Savannah added to the southern charm of the story.  

A Dazzle of Diamond by Liz Johnson exceeded my expectations. It is a wonderful read with southern charm and a sweet romance between friends. Liz Johnson expertly weaves in Biblical truths about who we are in Christ.  I highly recommend A Dazzle of Diamonds.
