OrangeReviewStarKelly's delightful collection presents four distinct Regency romance stories set during the Christmas season. All feature smart, strong heroines who still need to be rescued by the right man. In "The Christmas Ornament," old neighbors Lord Waverly and Sir Waldo conspire to bring their single, intellectual children together. In "Make a Joyful Noise," two young widows with children find they may be able to save each other. Returning from sea, Capt. Michael Lynch is in for a surprising holiday in "An Object of Charity," while the final tale trades England for Spain and centers on a woman hunting for Christopher Columbus's original documents along with a Spanish soldier trying to guide her to safety.
VERDICT Charming, witty, and full of tender romance, this is a must read for fans of Regency romances.
