Anna Harrington’s Regency tales are always well written, well plotted and well-paced. I enjoyed this story of second chances very much.
Ten long years ago Arabel and Garrick were very much in love and they were going to elope. Then, on the night of the elopement, Arabel tells Garrick that she cannot go because of a family situation that has just developed. Garrick is heartbroken and just doesn’t understand why she always chooses her family over him. Then, when she thinks he has left her, she can’t forgive him.
I won’t tell you a lot about the story itself because the synopsis tells you that – and since it is a novella, if I tell you too much, you won’t enjoy the book. There are huge misunderstandings in this story and you wonder how they can get past them. Given what happened to him, I would have thought Garrick would be the one unable to forgive, but it was Arabel who kept clinging to her hurt and anger. Frankly, she got on my last nerve but finally came around so they got their HEA.

“I requested and received this e-book at no cost to me and volunteered to read it; my review is my honest opinion and given without any influence by the author or publisher.”
I thoroughly Anna Harrington’s books and this one doesn’t disappoint. Arabel Rowland, a laird’s daughter, is deeply in love with Garrick McGinnis, a penniless stable boy. They plan to elope, but a family crisis keeps Arabel from going with Garrick. Both are heartbroken, each thinking the other didn’t love him/her enough to devote their lives to each other. Fast forward ten years and they are once again thrown together by a shared Rowland inheritance. Can they bury the past and embrace the future together?
Ms. Harrington is a talented author who knows who to tease out the back story for both Arabel and Garrick, what had happened on that fateful night ten years ago. This book is well-written and the pacing is good. It kept my interest until the end. Fans of Scottish/Regency romances will definitely enjoy this one.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
A Match Made in Heather is an emotional second chance at love for Arabel and Garrick. The wealthy laird’s daughter and the son of a blacksmith were never intender to fall in love but they did. Their plans to elope come to a crashing halt when Arabel decides she must stay to help her family. Harsh words are said and hearts are broken. Fast forward and years later the two are drawn together once again. Can these two overcome the pain and heartbreak of the past to finally get a HEA? Read this charming and entertaining book to find out. Packed with angst, drama, betrayal and passion this is an immensely enjoyable read. I’m voluntarily posting a review after reading an ARC copy of this book.
Second chances to see love bloom in this tale about Garrick and Arabel. Enjoyed the setting and story line as these two find their way.
Ebook from netgalley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own.
I just adored this story. Your heart breaks with the love that is torn from them and then all you can do after is cheer for them to find their happy ever after! Very well written for a novella story. This had enough detail, action and lovable characters to make it a page turner. The romance between Garrick and Arabel was full of chemistry and sparks! The snark in Garrick fit his position and part well – it made the story come alive. I loved the setting and story line of a beautiful crumbling castle and the tension that put on both of them. Perfect weekend read!! I received an advanced reader copy from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
Second Chances can happen and in this heartwarming novella, the past catches up with the future. Arabel Rowland the Laird’s daughter is in love with Garrick McGuinness, the son of a blacksmith. They plan to elope but Arabel feels she cannot leave her family because her brother is in trouble. Ten years later they are thrown together again and each has inherited one half of Castle Highburn, the estate of Arabel’s uncle. Garrick had once saved her uncle’s life and this was his way of repaying him. As you can imagine after not seeing each other for all those years and Garrick now holding the title of Earl of Townsend it was almost an explosive situation. At least in emotions of which neither had forgotten their love for each other. But there had been a lot of resentment on Garrick’s part that Arabel had chosen her family over him and he wanted revenge. This story gripped me from the beginning and showed how misunderstandings, betrayal and strong love can change the course of a life. But there is always hope and this is a story not to be missed. Well done Anna Harrington! If I were not a fan before ( which I was!), I would be now!!
The appeal of Anna Harrington is the fire that catches the minute her stories begin. A Match Made in Heather is no exception to the rule. At first introduction, Garrick and Arabel set off sparks. Yet social class and heartbreaking twists put an end to their happily ever after. Will fate bestow them a second chance or will pride be their greatest fall? A Match Made in Heather is a page turner. Unpredictably delicious with a little wicked temptation on the side.
