When a governess meets the spy whom makes her realize what she has been missing all this years ...

I confess it took me quite a time to adapt myself to the author’s writing style, less modern than what I usually read.
This story even with its spy side, is closer to the classic tales, and it was its charm that captivated me.
Harriet has reshaped her life in a mere Miss when she left everything behind to avoid an unwanted marriage. Still, now as an invisible companion, she longs for more.
Charles thought he had everything in hands when his sister’s impromptu arrival derails everything. Why himself caught between two fires, his mission and protecting his sister.
Their tale is a slow burn romance, they first have to get to know one another and their trust is often tested, and when they think they understood the other, something comes disrupting all.
It is no steamy read, only kisses were exchanged but the plot was about trusting and accepting the other to finally let go of past constraints which is finally accomplished by the end of the book.
Plus the background storyline hold a lot of attention, as the vilain pulls aplenty of strings to bring the hero to his knees, and he will need many helps, even unsuspected to get out of this.

It was an intriguing foray in the spy’s world, but what I loved the most what the Christmas game created by Harriet and the family’s love the characters shared for those they cared for.

Here is my true and unbiased opinion.

The Christmas Husband Hunt is an entertaining Regency romance. The plot is well written with a touch of intrigue to catch the reader’s interest. My thanks to the publisher for my advance ebook. This is my unbiased review.

'The Christmas Husband Hunt' had everything I love in a Regency story. There was romance, intrigue, great characters (especially the villains) and humor. The unfolding relationship between Harriet and Charles was heartwarming, especially in light of their past encounter. I'd highly recommend this latest in Kate Moore's Husband Hunter Romance series.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
