A Christmas Promise by Mary Balogh
4.0
4 stars
I thoroughly enjoyed this Christmas novella. Its an arranged marriage between two strangers from different classes. Randolph Pierce is the impoverish new Earl of Falloden and Eleanor Transome, is a wealthy coal merchant's daughter. They are both blackmailed by Ellie's father into marriage. They don't understand one another and their marriage gets off on the wrong foot. But a Christmas promise to the dying Mr Transome offers some hope and family may solve everything.
I adored this story. Ellie and Randolph both have misconceptions of each other and at first do very little to get over them. Randolph starts to soften first and eventually Ellie catches up. It was sweet.
