To Enchant a Lady’s Heart by Robin Lee Hatcher is a novella that is a lovely introduction to the author’s The British are Coming series, the first book of which releases in the fall of 2023. The story takes place in England during the Victorian Era. Eliza Southwick’s father is insisting that a husband be found for Eliza, and he doesn’t care about her feelings in the matter. It is only important that a good deal be made. Lord Whitcombe is insistent that his son Sebastian settle down and get married and take care of their estate.
A grand party is planned at Hooke Manor, the Whitcombe estate, and Eliza and her father are invited early. However, Lord Whitcombe and Sebastian are not there when they arrive, and Eliza is greeted by Adam, the illegitimate son of Lord Whitcombe.
The reader could see that Adam and Eliza had feelings for each other, but how would they end up together when their father’s wanted to draw up a marriage contract between Eliza and Sebastian, the Viscount of Hooke Manor? There was no way Lord Southwick would allow his daughter to marry an illegitimate son of Lord Whitcombe, and Adam knew his place and didn’t want to ruin Eliza’s life.
I enjoyed getting to know Eliza, Sebastian, Adam, and Amada (Lord Whitcombe’s daughter). The story drew me in as I wanted to know if and how Eliza and Adam would end up together. I enjoyed the chaste, friendly interactions between Eliza and Adam as they got to know one another. I thought it was awesome that they both had a love for horses. And I loved that they both allowed God to guide their paths.
I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read Sebastian’s story, To Marry an English Lord.
I received this book for free from the author as a part of the early reader team and was not required to write a favorable review. These are my own, honest thoughts.
