review 1: There are three books in this Christmas trilogy and last year I recommended ‘A Christmas Scandal’ which is book two, and today I’m recommending book three [tomorrow I’ll do book one, ‘Marry Christmas’].For someone that’s always reading any series in order, I’ve no idea why I read this trilogy out-of-order. It really isn’t necessary for them to be read in order… however, maybe I should have. Because they would have flowed better time wise.In any case, I’m here to let you know that this is a well written, plotted and executed sweet, sensual and very charming tale.What I liked best about it is the dialogue and the fast pace of the story as well as strong characterization of hero and the heroine.I adored Lady Amelia Wellesley who might seem flighty and na... moreïve, but this woman was one strong female. For her to leave her native England and pursue the love of her life [an American Cowboy who proposed to her only because he wanted to bed her] all on her own takes guts.Boone Kittredge is this small town’s doctor and her fiancé’s brother. He’s also a total opposite of Carson, and Amelia is having a hard time coming to terms with the man she remembers from England, with the man that he is now, here in America.Boone is a Beta hero all the way, and I just loved him to pieces. Once we get to know his background, we love him even more. This man has survived much abuse from his father, and it was something that made him into a somber and strong person. As well as someone who has always been there to pick up the pieces of his older brother leaves behind.I also loved the secondary characters in this tale and was heartbroken at the life and hardships they lived through.This is a story for every age and any time, not just Christmas.Melanie for b2bBook provided by the publisher through NetGalley
review 2: I was excited to get my hands on this book yet terribly disappointed that it was such a let down! My main complaint was with the heroine, Amelia. I thought she was immature and one dimensional. The man she ran after, Carson, was a no-good cad. Boone, the man who loved her, however, was achingly vulnerable, innocent, and thoroughly appealing. He saved the day, or rather, the story. Boone was open to change. In fact, he longed for it and was eager for his chance to begin a new life in another country. I liked that about him. Regardless of his lack of experience, he had a maturity that balanced the sometimes over sweet lightheartedness of Amelia. I believed in Boone's love for Amelia, but not hers for him. It's too bad because this could have easily been a wildly romantic tale. 3.2 stars. less
