Vying for the Viscount by Kristi Ann Hunter

 Hudson was born of English nobility, but was raised in India.  When first his father, then his grandfather die, he makes his way back to England to claim his inheritance and his title, Viscount Stildon. When he arrives in England, he finds it strange and not very welcoming. The first time he goes to his own stables, he is beaten off by a crazed young woman wielding a boot.  The woman turns out to be a neighbor, Bianca Snowley, and, despite the unusual introduction, they become fast friends.  It is their friendship that prompts Hudson to ask Bianca to help him win the hand of Lady Rebecca, who is sweet, beautiful, and whose father owned a valuable stud horse Hudson was interested in breading his mare to.  But Bianca has other ideas about Hudson's perfect match.

This was as light and fluffy as my introduction makes it sound.  It was a welcome relief to me after reading the previous two books, both of which were kind of heavy.  I don't think it is Ms Hunter's best, but is is entertaining enough, with the light Christian touch one would expect from this author.  (2020, 348 p)
