I don't know where to begin. I was so swept away with CHRISTMAS IN CAMELOT that I couldn't put the book down. I actually walked around with the book in my hand. Yet at the same time I didn't want it to end. This book will make you feel like you are in Camelot. The research was wonderful for this book and I really enjoyed every minute. And the best part was when I finished I felt satisfied -- it was a true fairytale. I hope there will be many more books from his wonderful author. Now I'm going out to buy her backlist. This is a GREAT book. Don't miss it.

Set in the infamous site of Camelot. At a young age Lady Noelle Mallory had been told by Merlin that she would someday meet her knight-in-armor and KNOW that he was destined to be her one true love. However, as with all great things, Noelle would have to fight and win him. Therefore, she refused all offers of marriage. When she was years past the normal age of being wedded, her father and brother betrothed her to Sir Gavin. Noelle was sent to Camelot to meet the well-known and brave knight before a Christmastide wedding. Yet, it was another knight that drew Noelle's attention.

Sir Nicholas the Dragon was known for his bravery and loyalty to King Arthur. He was a knave who had left many broken hearts in his wake. His childhood had been cruel. He had been forced to become a man at the tender age of ten just to survive. None before Noelle seemed to call to his heart. Never the less, she was promised to another and he must forget her.

***** W-O-W! I have always loved the tales of magical Camelot! King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, Sir Lancelot, Merlin, the Lady of the Lake * all are here!

The author, Brenda K. Jernigan, threw in an evil man (Prince Meleagant), some awesome secondary characters (to keep things lively), and the wondrous season of Christmas into the pot. The result was a spicy stew that will keep readers fascinated until the last page has been savored! Highly recommended! *****

This book was wonderful and pure magic! This book will put you in the Christmas spirit with it's wonderful love story between Lady Noelle, and Sir Nicholas.

The characters are well developed and likeable. Noelle is just the maiden for Sir Nicholas who is one of the knights of the round table. Sir Nicholas does not feel that he is worthy of love and therefore turns his back on those that would try. What he does not know is that he is Lady Noelle's destiny.

Set during the reign of King Aurthur and the mystical magic that goes with it is a perfect backdrop for a story for this Christmas love story. The story is well paced and a page turner!

If you loved the movie Camelot, you'll love this romantic tale of the court of King Arthur. Heart-warming characters and knightly swashbuckling make this a fun read!

This book was wonderful! I loved the way the author alter view every couple of paragrahs! While it may have been a tad confusing at first, in the end it helped me to gain a better understanding for the characters.

"Brenda K. Jernigan's Zebra historical, CHRISTMAS IN CAMELOT (October 2002)is a pure delight! This is a charming tale of the Dragon Knight, Sir Nicholas, the court ladies' favorite, who vows never to wed and the Lady Noelle, who protests her arranged marriage to Sir Gavin and vows only to marry for love. As Nicholas and Noelle find themselves rescuing each other, they are also forbiddenly drawn to each other. With a little help from Arthur, Guinevere and Merlin this couple is able to find true love. What fun it is to revisit beloved old characters during the pageantry and passion of the holiday season at King Arthur's court and then discover a new couple to cherish!"

The only feeling of Christmas you get from this book is that they are decorating the house for the season. That's it - not really mood-setting for the season.
Besides that, the story was slow and the writing stilted and the characters boring. The author tried to make it magical by adding characters like Merlin and King Arthur, but it just doesn't seem to work, there was very little authenticity. I wouldn't reccommend this one at all, there have to be better stories out there to celebrate the season!

This book will sweep you away into the Magical Kingdom of Camelot. I enjoyed every minute and sighed when it was over. Please write another book soon. It nice to put the magic and love back in our lives.
