It's the Christmas season! And what a delight it is to read a book that has all of the Christmas traditions and a good romance in it.
This book is a follow up of Kleypas' Wallflower series, in which we met 4 London Season wallflowers: Annabelle, Evie, and the sisters Lillian and Daisy Bowman.
Now it's time for Lillian & Daisy's big brother to fall in love.
Rafe Bowman is a rude American who has been at loggerheads with his dad since forever. Now comes the promise of redemption and acceptance - as well as a big chunck of the family business - if Rafe marries an English lady.
The lady in question is Lady Natalie Blandford, who is well mannered, attractive, and knows how to manage men. However, Rafe can't help but feel attracted to her comely companion, Hannah Appleton, who is the ultimate wallflower.
They all gather together in Lillian's country home in Hampshire, where we find once again the rest of the wallflowers, and we see love spark between Rafe and Hannah between a huge and impossible to decorate Christmas tree, carols, Dickens, and even sleigh rides in the snow.
The romance was great, the wallflowers remained true to their personalities, and I closed the book with a warm feeling and the lyrics of that Mariah Carey song in my head: All I want for Christmas baby... is you.
