The Pursuit of Lady Harriett by Rachael Anderson

5.0

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!
