Synopsis

During a rare white Christmas at Brambledean Court, the widow Elizabeth, Lady Overfield, defies convention by falling in love with a younger man in the latest novel in the Westcott series. After her husband's passing, Elizabeth Overfield decides that she must enter into another suitable marriage. That, however, is the last thing on her mind when she meets Colin Handrich, Lord Hodges, at the Westcott Christmas house party. She simply enjoys his company as they listen to carolers on Christmas Eve, walk home from church together on Christmas morning, and engage in a spirited snowball fight in the afternoon. Both are surprised when their sled topples them into a snowbank and they end up sharing an unexpected kiss. They know there is no question of any relationship between them, for she is nine years older than he. They return to London the following Season, both committed to finding other, more suitable matches. Still they agree to share one waltz at each ball they attend. This innocuous agreement proves to be one that will topple their worlds, as each dance steadily ensnares them in a romance that forces the two to question what they are willing to sacrifice for love. . . .

Goodreads review by Jan on December 03, 2018

Well, another one in this series I liked but didn't love. It started out so promisingly (as have all of them). But, I forgot that Colin, the H, is Wren's brother (from Someone To Wed). And that means that Colin's mother is the horrible and horrifying Lady Hodges. *shudders* I HATE the character of L......more

Goodreads review by Dab on June 06, 2024

Elizabeth is one of the most lovable characters in this series and I’m glad she got Colin because he is so adorable I want to hug him. Generally I don’t like the age gap trope. I’m still not a fan if it’s a reverse age gap, but at least it was less than ten years here and they were not at the age wh......more

Goodreads review by Jacob on January 06, 2019

This is fifth in the series and the characters from them all are intertwined remorselessly. Indeed, Elizabeth featured prominently in the first. That said, at this point, the whole Westcott brood is so large that I don't remember half of these people, anymore, so you're about even whether you've rea......more

Ce se întâmplă atunci când un bărbat se îndrăgostește de o femeie cu nouă ani mai mare decât el? Se căsătoresc! Asta după ce trec prin multe întâmplări neașteptate, luptă cu propriile lor sentimente sau cu părerea celorlalți. Colin este un tânăr impresionant, cu un suflet de aur. Fără să își dea sea......more

Goodreads review by Chris on September 13, 2018

Lovely story. Fun. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I’m pretty sure this is the first book I’ve read by this author. The synopsis sounded intriguing and I knew it was the type of story I usually enjoy when I dive into a historical romance. One thing about this story is it is a part of a series. There are a lot of......more
