Originally given 3.5 hearts at Rookie Romance.This is a very sweet novella, set against the wintry backdrop of Christmas in the country.When Arabella is told by her brother that she is to be engaged to a complete stranger, she is furious. Her fiance may be the heir to a dukedom, but she has a decidedly negative opinion about the possible character of her fiance.When her horse throws a shoe, she meets a gentlemanly horse breeder at the local inn. But he is not who he appears to be...Arabella is a likable heroine. Of course, she would be angry to be informed that she is to be married to a man she's never met. But once she's had time to calm down, she does begin to think about her predicament in a sensible manner.Oliver was sweet, even if it wasn't the best idea to not tell Arabella who he really is. He just wanted a marriage of convenience, but then he meets his beautiful fiancée and gets to know her. He wants her to get to know him as well, without any preconceived ideas about what he's like because of his title.It's a cute and enjoyable novella. It's great to read whilst the weather is colder, and the author does a good job at making the romance believable in so few pages. Great for anyone looking for a quick and sweet regency romance!*I received a review copy from the publisher, for my honest review. Thank you!
