title: The Regency Christmas IX (Signet Regency Romance)
author: Sandra Heath
description: Romance anthologies allow readers to sample writers new to them, or writers they've lost track of, and this holiday batch is particularly lively and varied. <i>A Regency Christmas</i> is a sugarplum treat for fans of the classic Regency. In Edith Layton's delightfully witty "An Amiable Miser," a spinsterish bookstore clerk discovers her own present in the shape of the nobleman who helps her search for the owner of a treasure left in a book. Barbara Metzger uses an abandoned young girl to bring together an impoverished nobleman and an unconventional gentlewoman in her charmingly sweet "A Home for Hannah." A competition based on a popular Christmas carol has some unexpected romantic results in Amanda McCabe's polished "A Partridge in a Pear Tree." An elf prompts a formerly engaged couple stranded together in a snowstorm to rethink their relationship in Sandra Heath's magical "The Solid Silver Chess Set." And a lady suffering a reversal of fortune is dreading the holidays until she meets a man who shows her the true meaning of Christmas and romance in Carla Kelly 's poignant, superbly written "No Room at the Inn." <i>John Charles</i><br /><i>Copyright  American Library Association.
