My Thoughts
This was a sweet historical romance with a few twists and turns to keep you entertained. Tracie Paterson wonderfully weaved the etiquette and innovations of the time without overpowering the story. Harrison and Austin are such polar opposites, one an excellent choice for who Jessica is, and one for who she is trying to become, It was hard not to skip to the back and find out who wins her heart in the end. A Matter of Heart was a clean novel, and even if you don't read many historical novels you will find this book entertaining.
I was given this book free from Bethany House Publishers for my honest review.
