For the first time in her sheltered life, Larissa Ascot's wishes for a merry Christmas seem to be in peril. Her father is off to the Colonies on business, but is far overdue to be home. Thus Larissa is left to handle the rumors of her family's bankruptcy, panicked creditors pounding on her door, and eviction. On top of all that, she must now contend with her enigmatic would-be "benefactor," Vincent Everett, the Baron of Windsmoor.

The charming and handsome rogue has offered to shelter Larissa, her little brother, and their few remaining servants in his home, and Larissa has no choice but to accept his proposal - unless she and her younger brother Thomas wish to wake up chin-deep in snow on Christmas morning.

The baron would be the first to admit that it is more than the Yuletide spirit of good will that has inspired his generosity. From the moment he first set eyes on the enchanting Miss Ascot, he was bewitched. And now that she has taken up residence in his home as well as in his heart, he aches with wanting her - a most unfortunate state of affairs, since the proud beauty obviously despises him....And since Vincent had previously sworn to seek a righteous vengeance on Larissa's family.

But Christmas is a time for miracles, after all, when love, at the seasonal peak of its power, can triumph over adversity. The more the lovely lady resists Vincent's considerable attractions, the hotter her desire for him grows. And in these magical days, something truly wondrous could occur - as the spirit of forgiveness reaches down to touch two rivals and shower Vincent and Larissa with precious gifts of tenderness and ecstasy unbound.

Get in the mood for Christmas!
A cookbook featuring recipes for cookies, breads, cakes and pies for the holidays. With every turn of the page you see a single recipe on the left and the corresponding beautiful full page color photo on the right. Book is from the German based Aldi's grocery store chain. Every page pops with color and delectable looking goodies.The cookbook is a skinny 8x11" hardback book with 85 of its 93 pages devoted to recipes and their photos. The recipes feature product brands that Aldi's carries, like Sweet Harvest brown sugar or Clancy's twist pretzels. Nothing that couldn't be substituted with a regional or national brand. They even show a little picture of their products used in that recipe, flour, honey, eggs, whatever. It was published in the USA and for the American market. No confusing metrics here. The recipes themselves are written in easy to follow steps and all look tasty. A smattering of the recipe titles are: Baker's Corner Coconut, Cherry and White Chocolate Bars (bar cookie); Peanut Delight (brand) Peanut Butter Bread with Creamy Ginger Spread; Cranberry Lime Squares (bar cookie); Sweet Harvest Icicle Ornaments (a sugar cookie type dough that is twisted, baked and decorated to resemble an icicle and pictured hung with ribbons on a wire Christmas tree for a fun presentation); Celebration Pumpkin Cake with cream cheese frosting and caramel drizzled over pecan halves. There is a double-page calendar (albeit December 2005) of tips for organizing the month and creating a memorable holiday. For an inexpensive book sold in the Aldi's stores, it packs a punch.

Sometimes things happen to put us in the right direction for our destiny. If it's meant to be yours and all that.

He wanted revenge however he found something more important. He found his heart. He fought against it and lost. Rissa had captured his heart and she open his eyes to a magical emotional world.

A world that created wonderful memories, engaging family adventures, rooms full of laughter and so much love.

This is a wonderful Christmas story. It was a fun read. A true happily ever after. I absolutely recommend it.

Johanna Lindsey is usually one of my favorite authors. This book is not up to her usual standards. I really dislike hearing a characters "thoughts" instead of dialogue. The characters were not well done and I found it hard to finish the book.

I have read all but 3-4 books of Johanna Lindsey; she is an amazing author for historical romance. I guarantee her stories are worth the money every time. I fell in love with the characters and wished the story would not have ended. I know then that it is an amazing book. Read it and you WONT be disappointed. One of her better books!

2.0 out of 5 stars THIS STORY MADE MY SKIN CRAWL
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2024

I am a huge fan of Ms Lindsey's books. I have quite a few of her older ones on my keeper shelf. I did not finish this one. I got to more than half way and then I had to quit. It made me very uncomfortable to have the "hero" have a plan to seduce and throw away a young girl.

I know part of the problem is me. I just did not like the idea of a man so happy to lie and cheat and be such a yuck.

He may have made a wonderful change of heart later in the story, but I could not bear to wait that long.

1.0 out of 5 stars ***Worst Book ofJohanna Lindsay***
Reviewed in Germany on May 13, 2002

J.Lindsay is one of my fovorite writers but with this book she created her worst! The storyline is shallow and dull. No adventures and now real heroes/heroines. It's a very short story as well. Don't judge it by its width for it's seperated in several chapters. Each chapter starts with a whole page with nothing written on it besides the Chapter itself. It's a very dissatisfying novel. Do not expect a usual Lindsay Novel!!!
