Title: Give yourself a Christmas treat
Product review: This is, quite simply, an excellent romance -- or should I say, romances? I imagine it is difficult enough creating a pair of well-drawn, fully realized characters and developing their romance in a satisfying way, but Donna Simpson achieves this with not one, not two, but three couples. Each character is distinct, and each romance is compelling.The main couple -- politician Sir David Chappell & lady's companion Beatrice Copland -- are a refreshingly mature pair in their forties who think that their chance for happiness has passed. The assorted young people include a wild Canadian hoyden, a demure yet determined daughter of an earl, a reckless young lord who hopes to marry an heiress, and a vicar who dares not hope he can marry above his station. They are all brought together for Christmas by an elderly lady with matchmaking schemes, but love finds its own way in the end.One of the best Regencies I've read this year. A real Christmas treat.
