A review by melodicfate
A Christmas Promise by Mary Balogh

3.0

The emotions surrounding the death of Ellie's father and her grief really got to me. However, these characters could be very unlikable, Eleanor in particular. She never wanted to actually listen to what Randolph said, but preferred to make things about a million times harder for anyone by jumping to conclusions. I liked that Randolph really did want to be a good husband to her, though he was a jerk in the beginning. Mary Balogh did a great job with the Christmas celebrations and the family dynamics though. I'll be reading more of her for sure, but this was not my favorite.
