(Not many books have the hero and heroine bonding at a funeral warehouse.) The characters are revealed in small ways – I didn’t realize until the heroine pointed it out that the hero thinks her as “Merry” in his passages, while she’s “Mary” in hers. The hero has just lost his servant Temple, who was closer to him than his parents, and his moments of grief are very moving. This was a charming and surprisingly dark book. But is he willing to take a chance and step outside his loneliness to find an unconventional love?
Lord Balfour is known for being cold and especially for hating Christmas, but when he meets his charming neighbors, Mary Rivers and her elderly Gran, he begins to discover the Christmas spirit. The Holly and the Ivy by Elisabeth Fairchild An odd time of year to read a Christmas book, but it jumped out at me when I was scanning my TBR shelves.
