After losing her husband two years previously, Julia, Lady Leighton Kingswood, has finally accepted an invitation from her late husband’s sister. In Under a Christmas Sky she is on her way to a Christmas party when her carriage is involved in an accident. She is then left for dead by her maid and driver.
Driving to a Christmas party to meet with Princess Charlotte and present her with an important manuscript, Willem Wakefield is not impressed with the English weather. The East Indies, even after the volcano eruption, is looking good right now. Then his driver finds a crashed carriage.
While working to move the obstacles from his carriage’s path Willem hears Julia’s faint cry from within the remains. Willem discovers his “Lady Frost” and soon his priorities are all focused on her. Keeping her warm, safe and most of all, with him.
Romantic And Enjoyable
Meeting over a carriage accident is certainly a romantic way to do it. In the middle of a storm certainly adds a level of intimacy. I liked how the author arranged these elements, it didn’t seem at all contrived as you find in some stories.
The characters themselves were enjoyable. Julia is still a little lost after losing her husband and Willem is mending his heart as well. They work really well together as a couple.
One part I found interesting was that you don’t really ever know if the accident was just that. Did the driver and maid contrive the event to make off with Julia’s things? Or had they honestly believed that she was dead and just tried to take advantage of the situation?
Either way, the author has managed to put together a wonderful story, where you can find love again and get another chance at happiness. Something we all hope is true.
