Winning the Gentleman by Kristi Ann Hunter

 

Winning the Gentleman by Kristi Ann Hunter is the second book in her Hearts on the Heath series, but is also a stand alone novel.  The story introduces our chatty heroine, Sophia Fitzroy, who is a circus performer turned horse jockey from Ireland, and Aaron Whitworth, our very complicated quiet hero who runs a horse stable.  Their interaction together is priceless. I smiled, reflected on God’s goodness,  and my heart was touched as I read their story.  

The secondary characters brought depth to the novel in their interaction with the main characters.  I recognized many from other novels by Hunter.   After I finished reading I could not help but wonder when I will see them again, and if they will be in the third book in this series.  

This story brought me joy!  Kristi Hunter magically weaves romance, humor, friendship and horsemanship into an amazing Regency story while gently reminding us that our God is a God who loves to redeem things.  This is a theme that I always need to remember. 

 I can highly recommend Winning the Gentleman by Kristi Ann Hunter.  

I was given the book through the publisher and not required to write a positive review.

From very young she dreamed of sharing her own stories with others and praises God daily that she gets to live that dream today. 

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.
