"Capturing the Viscount's Heart by Abby Ayles is an endearing story from true love from childhood on. Although it is unlikely that a Earl and a tradesman, however prosperous, would remain lifelong friends, let alone consider marriage between their offspring, that is the crux of this story. When Helena Leeson is 14, her childhood affection for her friend, Elias, begins to turn into a more mature love. He leaves for school and is gone for four years. She spends those four years maturing and learning and when he returns home, he is astounded to find his childhood friend has become a beautiful woman. Helena's father is the proprietor of a jewelry house but always looking to better himself he invests a great deal of money in an Italian banking enterprise, also acting as their agent in acquiring other investors. Without warning the investment turns sour and a great many people have lost a good deal of money. This, of course, includes Helena's father. Her father's friend, the Earl of Wismoth and his son Elias are there to help their friend in their time of need, including investing in and saving the business, leaving their friend at its helm. All is going well until Mr. Leeson is abruptly arrested for embezzlement and thrown into Newgate. Elias and his father, the Earl, are in Italy so they don't arrive home immediately. When they do they plunge headlong into investigating, knowing that Leeson is innocent. Leeson is so angry and miserable in prison that he forbids any interaction between the two families. Can this situation be resolved?
Capturing the Viscount's Heart is intricately plotted an interesting to read. There are many characters and settings to the story and some people behave oddly, but that is what makes the story, isn't it? Helena is a proper Regency heroine, able to think for herself but remain true to those around her. Elias is a gentleman, careful of the feelings of others and polite at all costs. They manage to work toward a solution, with some detours, and mostly individually, trying to obey Leeson's edict. Helena's mother spends a great deal of time ill in bed, which is mostly how Regency mothers deal with adversity. The word stress is used often in this story, which is not appropriate, as it was not used at the time. But all in all Capturing the Viscount's Heart is an intriguing and well-written book with good characters and a relatively realistic plot. I recommend it.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review."

I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. - Capturing the Viscount's Heart A Clean & Sweet Regency Historical Romance Novel is a Regency romance by Abby Ayles. I have read quite a few of her books as an ARC reviewer and I believe her writing skills are slowly improving.
The story is quite interesting. Helena Leeson and Elias Repington, the Viscount of Chatleton, have been friends since childhood. Their parents have been friends for even longer. They have spent much quality time together. Helena and Elias have always had a special fondness for each other. They grow up, meet again after Elias returns from school and their love slowly blossoms.
Then, Helena's father makes a disastrous financial investment, which hurts his family as well as other people he had convinced to invest. With the help of the Elias's father, he recovers. Then, Helena's father is accused of embezzlement and thrown into Newgate Prison. Elias believes Helena's father is innocent but is unable to prove it. Elias and Helena slowly grow apart. A long journey to the truth ensues.
I did very much like the story. And I felt the author did a much better job in this book finally delving more properly into the Regency period. It did feel a little flat and slow to me in the beginning third of the book but did start to pick up a bit around chapters 17 and 18. I liked the characters fairly well - however I did wonder quite often why Elias, after all the time they had known each other, did not inform the Leeson family as to his pursuit of the truth in a timely manner. A letter or two even at the beginning of the troubles would have helped. That was a bit of a thin plot device.
That being said, there are still many, many technical and editing issues. Still too many sentence structure errors and sentences ending improperly with prepositions. The writing would flow quite nicely for a bit, then get tangled up in problems.
I feel her characters too often speak 'too dramatically' much too often. It makes the narrative read a bit like a Perils of Pauline silent movie. A simple 'said' or 'laughed' or 'smiled' would work much better in many places.
OR the characters spoke the exact same way too often, and in ways that did not make sense to me. The author used "mused" quite a bit and each time it felt out of place.
And frankly, "smirk" and "smirked" was use too often AGAIN and felt inappropriate. There are MANY other descriptive words in the English language that would flow much better in the dialogue.
Other than the continuation of technical and grammatical issues, this is an entertaining book.
