A Christmas Promise by Mary Balogh

3.0

A Christmas Promise had a good premise with interesting main characters and a myriad of secondary characters who, to be honest, I clumped together. I enjoyed, maybe not the best word, Ellie and Randolph's exchanges, even when they were mean to each other, it wasn't gratuitous or toxic. I also liked how Randolph recognized Ellie's "hedgehog" tendencies and adapted to them. I also really enjoyed Ellie's conversation with Randolph's former potential mother-in-law: her comments were delightful. I think there was an overabundance of Christmas elements which is to be expected in a book called A Christmas Promise, and I did skip over some of them. But overall it was a good read.
