Pursuing Miss Hall by Karen Thornell
After Margaret Hall misses her first season due to severe illness, her mother decides to hold a house party to introduce her to several eligible bachelors, notably the Viscount Hatfield.
Her childhood friend Nathaniel Blake is also invited, but Lady Hall does not consider him of sufficient standing to be included amongst the potential suitors for Meg’s hand.
Which is a pity, because Nathan is the one who makes Meg laugh and he has been in love with her for years…
I really enjoyed this well-written Regency romance with its friends-to-lovers plot. Thornell shared a guest list for the house party at the start which highlighted the potential suitors for Meg’s hand. I thought this was a clever way of helping the reader keep tabs on the different characters.
Although this was a novella, I felt the characters were beautifully crafted and I had a whole story with enough time to reach a happy ever after without feeling rushed.
