  When I started this ebook, I thought it was an anthology with several novellas in it.  IT’s not – it’s one story that is full length, but probably would have been better as a novella.  
 It’s part of the Windham series. The first half of the book is forced proximity and mistaken identity.  Neither our hero nor heroine know that the other is titled but they spend several days before Christmas together with an abandoned baby. 
 
This story would have been a charming stand alone novel, but too much effort was put into tying characters from the rest of the series in.  And it was too long – it could have ended when the snowstorm ended, but instead we had to go through a whole lot more that just make it long.

Absolutely lovely. Sophie and Vim complement each other so well and Kit is so damn adorable. A very merry little story. ♥️

First try of this author. I'll probably try her again. This was obviously part of a series, but as I hadn't read a lot of the other books, I found myself annoyed with all the other characters popping up at random spots in the book. I'd probably have enjoyed it more if I'd read other books in the series first.

Sophie Windham has found a few days to herself before her brothers come. Then she finds herself with a abandoned baby, whose mother just up and left him. So its up to her to care for him. But there is one catch...she has no clue how to take care for a baby? What is she to do? But then she is saved by Vim Carpentier. When Vim see's a lone woman lookiug more lost than ever taking care of a child, he offers his services. What he doesn't know is that one night helping Sophie will turn into days, and he won't be able to stop himself from being captivated by her beauty and sweet spirit. Even though her brothers interrupt his plans, he knows what he wants..but how much is he willing to fight for her?Even though this story is a Christmas themed, this is the type of story that can be read any time of the year. Even though there is a part of me that wished that I had read this one a couple of months ago. However I found myself truly enjoying this story, and once I started reading and getting into the plot, I was very into it and I had a difficult time putting it down. The way Grace Burrowes weaves a story is remarkable, I loved her descriptions that made the scenes come alive in the readers mind. It was so fun to see Sophie and Vin interact with each other, and I enjoyed having a infant as part of the story, it definitely livened things up. I found Lady Sophia's Christmas Wish a entertaining read, that fully engages the reader with sharp witty humor, and a fun and sexy plot, and lets be honest who can resist a man who is able to handle himself changing a diaper or feeding a baby? A Sensational read and I would recommend it to any lover of historical romance or even just romance in general.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and couldn’t wait to see how it ended. It was slow and very deliberate in detailed in describing their bonding over a baby. Because I hadn’t read the other books in the series, I was confused at points on the characters but it didn’t keep me from understanding the story. I loved the two main characters. I gave it a 3 because it did take some stick-with-it-ness to stay in it because it just dragged. The closer to the end it got, the better it got. Not the worst book but nothing that makes me want to suggest others might want to read it.
