This set of books was really fantastic! I've read all three of the novels as they came out. They're all good. I really enjoy her writing style. There's plenty of romance and the stories are always so interesting with fascinating characters. I recommend all three!
This book was fantastic, like the others. The main characters were interesting, there was lots of interesting dialogue between them, and they suited each other fantastically. It was very fun to read, never boring, always kept me wondering what would happen to them next.

*I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*

I've been meaning to read a Historical Romance for a very long time and knew that this was going to be a good one from the moment I read its synopsis and decided to join the Blog Tour for it! I haven't read the rest of the books in the series but, I'd really like to considering the fact that, this one was so interesting and well written. And I'd definitely like to keep on reading and discovering more lovely books of this particular genre!

The plot itself, as well as the characters were quite entertaining and I found myself enjoying their easy banter and great chemistry. Even though the story didn't blow my mind, it definitely sucked me in and made me enjoy it more than I'd hoped. Harriett and Christopher were very likable and I immensely enjoyed the romance going on between them. Throughout the story, we got to see their relationship develop at a very steady and natural pace, which was truth be told, very refreshing. It wasn't inst-love, which is quite common in books these days. On the contrary, they just fell in love with each other slowly and maybe without even realizing it.

Harriett was also a wonderful heroine since she knew what she wanted and fought for it. She also never shied away from a challenge and knew how to face with courage and determination. Christopher was the perfect match for Harriett, since he let her express herself but at the same time, was by her side for whatever she needed. His playfulness definitely won me over and made me like him even more as Harriett's love interest!

Overall, The Pursuit of Lady Harriett is definitely a book worth reading, especially if you're looking for an enjoyable and refreshing Historical Romance! It's a very well written book, with playful characters and a very entertaining story line! It'll make you laugh, swoon and want more! As for me, definitely picking up the rest of the books in the series as soon as possible! Hope you guys found this review helpful and hopefully, it'll make it easier for you to decide whether you want to give this book a chance or not!

I have loved every book in the Tanglewood series but I think this is my favorite! I was interested right at the beginning and couldn't put it down! I finished it in one day (decently short) but I told Chris and Harry together :)

I was unsure about this book at first. One of my favorite things about the regency era is the charm and the manners... so to have a hero that was seemingly without those had me a little worried. Similarly, while I completely resonated with Harriett's feelings over the way that Lieutenant Jamison treated her, I’d rather wish she was one of those heroines that enjoyed a good joke and took things in stride… But she was not, and at first he was not the charming hero I love. But boy was I wrong about being unsure over this book! The characters were so well written, the plot line interesting, and the research impeccable. I loved watching Harriett and Christopher come to understand and know each other. I really enjoyed reading about a couple that were not without their flaws and had real human emotions and actions but were able to set those aside and come to know each other and roughing out each other’s sharper edges. It was a beautiful love story, and I will definitely be reading more from this author!

The second half of the book got slightly better but the first half was torture neither character was very likeable. The supposed witty banter was a boring cliche.

Another wonderful story from Rachael Anderson set around Tanglewood! I loved all the fun bantering between the two main characters - a very enjoyable read!

Christopher is a pretty arrogant guy at first and does not know how to properly court a lady. I've loved Harriett from the other books and glad to see her own story come about. The two made me laugh when they were together.

Rachael Anderson is a strong and reliable writer. If her name is on it I will generally give it a shot. This was a lovely little adventure. It's an enemies-to-lovers-ish story with some fun and genuine moments. Christopher makes for an unlikely but strong hero while Harriett was a bit weaker but still interesting. I liked the overall story and it had a sweet conclusion.
I like my Regency to be true to the period and for the most part this one delivers. I did take issue with the use of first names and the quickly shortened nicknames that went with it. I understand what the author was trying to do with it but it turned me off. In that time and place using names to be "friendly" just wasn't a thing and it served to pull me out of the story. If this was the only thing I might have given it a pass but there were a couple more non-period activities. Despite this I kept reading and enjoyed it for the most part.
