The Christmas Wager by Jamie Fessenden
5.0
I am not usually a lover of historicals (besides Outlander, the book that got my back in to reading after a 20 year "break) I LOVED The Christmas Wager! It was wonderful. I could feel the tension between Andrew and Thomas, the tension of going back home where Thomas was not wanted, the drearyness of a non-festive Christmas season in a sad, lonely house.
I loved the adventures Andrew, Thomas, Hew and Duncan took with Susan. It was wonderful "seeing Hew leap up the tree to grab the mistltoe and explore the forest for Christmas trees.
The entire story was lovely and I would love to read at least a short to see how the men live (hopefully happy and safe) in old England where men like them were i constant danger of jail or death. I kept wishing they lived in the here and now so they would be safer but of course it is just a book! <~~ had to remind myself of that a time or two!
