Mr. Hunt, I Presume, by Valerie Bowman is book number 10.5 in her Playful Brides series. This novella is the first book of Bowman’s that I have read.
Miss Erienne Stone, a daughter of a baron is rejected by her childhood love and goes into service as a governess instead of marrying without love.
General Collin Hunt gave up the love of his life 14 years ago, believing that he would never be good enough for her or her family. He has devoted his life to his military career and made an impressive name for himself.
When Collin’s matchmaking sister-in-law/ Duchess, comes across Erienne’s name on a letter of interest while searching for a new governess, she cannot help but try to give these two one more chance at their happy-ever-after.
This was a fun read and for a novella I was very impressed; this story have the feel of a novel. The past was fast moving, but didn’t skip on details. I especially enjoyed the parts with Collin’s brother the Duke and his wife. In some novellas there is little time or energy spent on the side characters due to the limited space, but Valerie gave the side couple their due as well.
I highly recommend this book. I am looking forward to the next in the series (and going back to find his brother, Here Hunt and Lucys story as well!)
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Xpresso Book Tours through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
