I really enjoyed A Stitch in Time and it was so much fun to return to this series for the holidays. Ballgowns & Butterflies reads like a bit of an extended epilogue, it's mostly a chance to check in with the couple from book 1 and it has a few hints and set ups for book 2. As well as plenty of Christmas cheer. There's also a question main character Bronwyn has to answer of how her actions in the past impact the future and how she'll handle that.
I really enjoyed this story. It's so fun to read. It is a nice way to spend some more time in this world and get to see how Bronwyn and William are doing as well as how they spend Christmas. I really enjoyed spending a bit more time with these characters and seeing how happy they are and how they're handling things now as a couple. I liked the few hints and set-up for book 2 as well. And the bit of struggle Bronwyn has about her effect on the future now that she's living in both the past and the future. I like how she handled that and the way it al got resolved at the end. I hope we see more of them in book 2.
To summarize: This is a great story to read after Stitch in Time. It's like an extended epilogue where you get to see how Bronwyn and William are doing now. I really enjoyed spending some more time with this couple and seeing how they celebrate Christmas. It has plenty of Christmas cheer and it also addresses some time travel complications. Definitely recommend this one if you enjoyed the first book.

Another enjoyable tale for the Stitch in Time series. I didn't enjoy this one as much as the other novella, but it's enjoyable just to be back in this world!

I will admit, the title had me questioning this book... I mean, Ballgowns and Butterflies? That said, I had really enjoyed the first book and was eager for more in this fascinating time crossing world Armstrong created. I ended up really enjoying it and found myself even more eager to read book 2.
I especially loved that this book was a chance to visit Christmas in Victorian England... a neat view point for a Christmas story. I also enjoyed that we get to have a little more time with Bronwyn and William further into her pregnancy; in fact, this read like an extended epilogue of book 1 really. It was nice to see how they are resolving the joining of their two worlds and I can't wait to read on.

Eventually, I turned to this novella by Kelley Armstrong, in order to see if I'd get there the romantic fantasy vibes I have been looking for.
And yes, I did find them.
This is an utterly enchanting story that takes you out of the current hustle and bustle and takes you back to Victorian times, and old draughty castle, a lot of snow and traveling my horse sleighs.
By the end of it, I felt, I finally had had my romantic Xmas fantasy rom com in a very good and adult way.
I am looking forward to start reading the main series, it just might be up my alley.
