For Hudson, the newly titled Viscount Stildon, moving to England from India where he was born and raised was already an arduous enough endeavor. When he learns the fate of the racing empire he inherited along with his title depends upon him getting in the good graces of another stable owner, he's even more at a loss.
The stable at the neighboring estate has been Miss Bianca Snowley's refuge for years, and when a strange man appears to be stealing the horses, she jumps to their protection without a second thought. Upon learning Hudson is actually the new owner, she can't help but be intrigued by the area's newest eligible bachelor.
Any thought of romance is quickly set aside, however, when Hudson proposes they work together to secure suitable spouses for each other. As their friendship grows, Hudson and Bianca begin to reconsider what they truly want in life. But will societal expectations and the weight of their responsibilities keep them from pursuing their true desires?

Vying For the Viscount (#01 in Hearts On The Heath Series)$27.99
Kristi Ann Hunter is one of my favourite authors and this first book in her second series did not disappoint. I love how it is a whole new series yet she has placed characters that you have already come to know from her previous series in it, adding to the delight. Bianca, Hudson and Aaron provide lots of entertaining dialogue and incidents. It is an esay read but a hard book to put down. It is set in Newmarket and stes the scene for the whole series well.

Great start to a new series
This book, as always with this author, was a lot of fun. I love all the humor and wit mixed in with the more serious themes. Bianca and Hudson were both such strong characters, which made for an interesting relationship between them. The characters really pull you in. Great start to a new series. Can't wait for the next book!

Different from her other books
This review was hard to write. At first, the book seemed sedate for Kristi Ann. It wasn't as gripping at her other books, but by the end, I felt like I was parting from a dear friend. It felt more realistic. I liked how there were more scenes about God and a personal relationship with Him. It left me excited to read the next book and heart enriched.

Quirky and Amusing
Miss Bianca Snowley is twenty-four years old and single in Regency England, a society that likes to marry off their females as soon as they leave the schoolroom. She's mad about riding, and disinterested in fashion or whatever else is supposed to appeal to genteel young ladies. But her step-mother's hints have finally sunk in, and Bianca realises she's going to have to find a husband herself or settle for the unappealing Mr Mead. \\n\\nTwenty-eight year old Hudson, the new Viscount Stildon, is newly arrived in England from India, where he was born and raised. He's inherited his grandfather's title and stables, and is keen to build his reputation as a horseman. But he has no idea how to progress in English society-he can't even waltz. Fortunately, Miss Snowley is available to help coach him, in return for a promised ride on his prize stallion. \\n\\nThe thing that caught my attention straight away were the character voices. They're quirky and unusual, and very readable. Both characters are true characters, in the English sense of the word. They are both intelligent, witty, horse-mad, and completely unable to see what's obvious to the reader and everyone else around them. \\n\\nVying for the Viscount is a fast, fun read. But it also has some spiritual depth, as both Hudson and Bianca realise they will need to modify the way they live their lives if they are to achieve true happiness. \\n\\nThanks to Bethany House and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.
