See all formats and editions

She's full of life but struggles to find love.

His painful childhood memories have closed his heart forever.

Can she help him realize that life is worth the risk?

Miss Harriet Harcourt is bold, energetic, and spirited. She has a family who loves and accepts her for who she is. Unfortunately, the gentlemen in London find her lively personality to be too much. Harriet wants love, but it's proving more difficult to catch than she thought.

To her delight, she finally meets a charming gentleman who seems enamored with her right away—until he goes silent and never seeks her out again. Harriet returns home after the Season, disheartened, only to unexpectedly run into that very same man.

Jonas Drake, Viscount Kentwood, lost his mother during childbirth and his father when he was just a boy. He vowed long ago that he would never put himself in a position to suffer that kind of pain again. That means no wife and children. Instead, he fills his time with revelry and temporary flirtations to distract himself from his pain.

After receiving an urgent letter from his beloved aunt, his only remaining relative, Jonas rushes to her home in the country. She convinces him to stay for a few months, hoping that he'll change his mind about settling down. He wants to do nothing of the sort, until he accepts an unusual proposal from a bright young lady he though he would never see again.

Will Harriet be able to help heal this roguish viscount?

Will Jonas rediscover the joys of life and love?

Inside this sweet Regency romance you’ll find many heartwarming and heart-wrenching moments, lots of love, a delicious dose of angst, and a happily ever after. This stand-alone novel concludes Penny Fairbanks’ series The Harcourts. While the books can be read in any order, it is best enjoyed as follows:

Anna's Decision

Dalton's Challenge

Caroline's Discovery

Patrick's Arrangement

Harriet's Proposal

Some people are born with joyous hearts. That was the case with Harriet Harcourt. Her effervescent love of life had scared off as many potential suitors as her beauty and sweet nature had attracted. When she meets a man who seems to take her unfiltered approach to life in stride, she is immediately intrigued. Having a natural desire to expect the best in everyone, she is overwhelmed by his kindness and seeming acceptance of all her unique qualities. Will his fear of marriage and family stop their courtship in its tracks?!
A wonderful novel by a charming writer.

He’s living a fake life; she’s indomitably and genuinely cheerful. He’s scared of what the future may bring; she lives for the joy in the moment. How can these two opposites be so perfect for each other? Sweet and sunny Harriet is possibly one of my all-time favorite heroines, and the Harcourt family is simply delightful. I love, love, love how the siblings and parents support and love each other throughout this series. It’s so refreshing. I also found it refreshing that, even when Harriet doesn’t fit into the social mold, she is not made to feel inadequate or that she needs to change. The social code of the Regency Period was a strict and exact one, but there had to be exceptions—individuals who were able to break out of that mold and still find happiness without drastic social consequences. This explores that possibility. Book 4 in the Harcourt series was an emotionally-charged page-turner. I couldn’t put it down; that is, until the last three chapters which, unfortunately, seemed to drag on with superfluous events. Otherwise, this would have been a 5-star read for me. I wholeheartedly recommend it!🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

Harriet's Proposal by Penny Fairbanks

Story Notes

Penny Fairbanks brings readers the lovely conclusion to her Harcourts series that turns its focus on the youngest of the siblings - the effervescent Harriet.

The Harcourt family has been one that I have truly enjoyed getting to know. A genuinely happy family that faces all problems with both wisdom and faith, they have walked through many situations together. This last book is one of my favorites given it is Harriet's story. For the first four books, we saw Harriet as a precocious child who lives to make her family smile and laugh. Her joy for life is what makes her the family favorite but does not lend itself to making her conceited. But she is a little down this Season given that it has been two years since her Coming Out and no offers of marriage have appeared. She knows it is because many view her expressive personality to be overwhelming but she still hopes to fall in love. Enter one Jonas Drake, Viscount Kentwood, who shows Harriet attention at a dinner and other situations for another two weeks before disappearing from her life entirely. Feeling the sting of rejection, Harriet returns home to their country home, only to come upon Jonas in the company of his aunt, their neighbor. Should she confront Kentwood or just let things be.....her decision will determine the future of their relationship. Jonas has determined to never fall in love. He has lost too many people in his life and he will not lose a wife to childbirth or sickness. Thus he spends his time flirting with one lady then another, never giving his heart to anyone. But the reappearance of Harriet in his life causes him to pause and consider his position. And when she requests to help him become a better man in payment for the hurt he cause her, Jonas agrees with reservation. Spending time with Harriet is not the drudgery he though it might be, however, and soon Jonas finds himself longing for a way around his fears so he can keep her around forever. But unless he lets go of his fear, there is no hope of a deeper relationship for them. I loved that Penny styled this story with Harriet's personality. This is a quality unique to Penny's writing, that she writes the story with the MC's personality as the driving style of fleshing everything out. This book had a delightful bubbliness to it that was very much in line with Harriet's view of life and yet that didn't make it a fluff piece at all. There were still moments of darkness and loss that balanced out the story nicely and gave it some good depth. I loved the relationship that Harriet has with her mother and father. It was one of a cherished child and reminded me strongly of my relationship with my parents. I also loved the way she drew Jonas out of his shell with her contagious joy and direct questions. She didn't shy away from the tough ones and challenged him to be better than he had been previously. Their inevitable moment of coming together was beautifully written and perfectly swoony. I will certainly be recommending this story and the series to others in the very great hope that they will enjoy it as I did.

I received this temporary complimentary E-book from the author via BookFunnel in order to provide a fair and honest review. I will receive no fiscal compensation for this review and the opinions expressed herein are entirely my own.
