I am such a huge fan of Kristi Ann Hunter's writing! She is funny while conveying a story that touches your heart! This romance was so fantastic! I was sent the book as part of her launch team.
Summary:
Miss Harriet Hancock enjoys playing the role of eccentric heiress, using her wealth and influence to cleverly and anonymously better the lives of those in Newmarket. Though she keeps people at a distance to protect a years-old secret, when her friend pleads for help on a personal project, Harriet can't resist.
Stable hand Jonas Fitzroy would do anything for his twin sister, even if it means seeking out the woman whose meddling ways have made him wary and suspicious. The last thing he expects is for Miss Hancock to request his help in writing a book. Intent on revealing her underlying plan, Jonas agrees.
As they work together, an unexpected friendship forms. But when things for once don't go according to Harriet's plan, she's left wondering if good intentions might not be enough. Is there a way to mend the broken pieces of her life? And will Jonas give her another chance at his heart?

My Review:
I knew when I started this story that I was going to love it simply because of the author. What I hadn't expected was to finish it and feeling so incredibly satisfied!
I really enjoyed getting to know Jonas in book two so for book three to be for him was perfect! He and Harriet were fabulous for this story. I hadn't even thought of Harriet having a story so I'm thankful the author saw it for us readers!
I liked Harriet and how she could manipulate situations to help other people's lives to be better, even if it was in a small way. Funny enough, seeing it through Jonas' eyes it was easy to see his perspective.
At first glance these two seem like oil and water, but as we get to know them through the story is easy to see how well they work together. The tension they naturally have as they're getting to know each other put a smirk on my face.
An interesting facet to the story was the use of Scripture. Jonas is using it constantly, but not always on the right way. Not intentionally wrong, but it was a good reminder to the reader for how we read, understand, and share it.
I don't think I've ever seen this before, but the author listed all of the Scripture at the end of the book! I LOVED it!
I'm not sure what happened, but as I neared the end of the story I was pretty emotional. I think the love story was so spot on that the end really got to me! My heart gave a contented sigh as I closed the back of the book.
