3.0 out of 5 stars
A very pleasant surprise,
By
This review is from: The Christmas Kiss (Zebra Historical Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
I really didn't expect much from this book--which may have worked in its favor--but it was quite enjoyable. Amelia is a spoiled socialite who makes a rash decision to marry. Her husband dies on their wedding night, and Amelia discovers that he's not rich but in debt. As the book progresses, Amelia undergoes a change in character, becoming a wiser woman with depth. In the process, she falls in love with ne'er-do-well drifter Michael, who's living at the boarding house she inherited from her short-lived marriage. Michael, however, is much more than he seems.Although there are times the writing style annoys me, Amelia is a beautifully written heroine and Michael is pretty drool-worthy. The other boarders are an interesting group, though some are given more depth and attention than others. Except for wishing it had a true epilogue, the only thing that really irks me about the book is Amelia's stupidity, meaning that she often does things she should know better than to do. It's rather like watching a movie and shouting at the character to not open the door or some such. Still there are some lovely scenes and moments of real romance. All in all, probably a 3 & 1/2 star book.

I think Michael and Amelia made a cute couple, I really enjoyed this book.Happy Reading Lisa
