My 2nd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of A Christmas Promise

Melissa Addey ❤️ loved this book because...

Some Regency romances can tend towards repetitive tropes and a very 'safe' historical setting, but even in a charming, cosy, Christmassy Regency romance Mary Balogh manages to bring in real issues from history and work with them to bring you a deeper understanding of the time, all while melting your heart!
