review 1: These were warm, touching and humorous stories and really capture the Christmas spirit. I think I previously read "The Three Kings" in another Christmas anthology and enjoyed it, but somehow missed the other three Carla Kelly stories, "The Christmas Ornament", "Make a Joyful Noise" and "An Object of Charity". All of these stories are set in the Regency period, but take place far from the familiar romance novel settings of crowded London ballrooms full of beautifully dressed lords and ladies; they have a more intimate, family-oriented feel (never mawkish or sentimental), with what one reviewer cleverly dubbed "beta male" heroes who think with the head on their shoulders, not their "little head", and sweet-natured, kind and loving heroines. The focus is on romance, but also ... moreon forgiveness, redemption, and the Christmas spirit, and really left me with a warm, fuzzy feeling! Delightful and highly recommended.
review 2: This is a really fun collection! I loved reading everyone of these stories. They are all clean and full of romance. Each of these stories takes place around Christmas time in Europe. I loved how they are all very individual, from the intellectual Christmas of James and Olivia to the sea-faring romance of Michael and Sally and then to Sarah and Luis in Spain. I also really liked that in some of these you see things through the eyes of the men and in some you see things through the eyes of the women. Carla Kelly really is an amazing Regency Romance author, you will feel as though you have been transported to England or Spain in the 1800's as you read all of these stories. These cute stories will definitely put you in a Christmas mood, so put on some music, put your feet up and enjoy them all! less
