Vikki’s Musings
Thanks go to the author for sending me a complimentary copy of A Gift for Christmas by Julia Cassandra. I have voluntarily agreed to read and review this novel. My opinions are my own, and no one has influenced them.
A Gift for Christmas is a lovely Christmas tale with endearing characters, and a heartwarming plot with plenty of emotion. This novel deals with several issues that were not viewed in a favorable light during the Regency period. Ms. Cassandra handles these issues with a great deal of sensitivity. Her novel also has an excellent sense of the Regency period.
Cora Jameson is the heroine, and I quickly became enmeshed with her character. Her determination to give her daughter the best life possible is admirable. When she meets the hero, she is overcome with several emotions, and my heart went out to her.
Simon Bristley, Lord Craven is the hero, and I enjoyed his character a great deal. He comes across as an honorable man, and he’s suffered from memory loss, PTSD and a variety of other maladies pertaining to his war experiences. My heart ached for him when he discovers the betrayal of his father.
The romance between Simon and Cora is lovely, and filled with a great deal of emotion. Both characters are confused and hurt because they don’t have all the facts. The chemistry between them is strong and the passion only grows stronger as the story progresses. I truly wanted them to find their way to each other.
If you enjoy Christmas romances with characters that will touch your heart, especially Cora’s daughter, then you will love A Gift for Christmas as much as I did. Ms. Cassandra has a great deal of talent, and I look forward to reading more of her books in the future. Happy reading!
