Fans of historical fiction will want to grab the delightful anthology, A Christmas to Remember by Lisa Kleypas, Lorraine Heath, Megan Frampton and Vivienne Lorret. I devoured these stories set at Christmas and had a good time with them all.
Don’t laugh but I read this during the 2017 #HoHoHoRAT, and it was the first post I scheduled for 2018 on the blog.
- I Will by Lisa Kleypas- This was a fun romp featuring an almost on the shelf heroine and a devilish rogue who hatches a scheme to fool his dying father but pretending to mend his ways and date a bluestocking. Andrew, Lord Drake
blackmailsenters an arrangement with his friend’s sister, Miss Caroline Hargreaves. The tale that unfolds softens us to Andrew as we see Caroline bloom. A fun tale that kept me reading and offered tender moments, delightful banter and a few knots. - Deck the Halls With Love by Lorraine Heath- I was a tad concerned at first since the heroine appeared to be engaged, but Heath soon had me at ease. This was a short, sweet, feel-good romance set at Christmas that left me smiling. Both the hero and heroine were likable, and I rather liked the outcome.
- No Groom at the Inn by Megan Frampton- A scientific Duke believes he has the formula for finding a spouse, that is until he meets Ivy. Humor, inventions, frogs, and swoons made this a delightful story. I loved all the holiday details and talk of social ladders.
A Christmas to Remember is a great way to enjoy favorite authors or perhaps try a few new ones this holiday season. Grab a cup of cocoa and enjoy.
Christmas to Remember by Lisa Kleypas, Lorraine Heath, Megan Frampton and Vivienne Lorret is the perfect anthology to read by the fire this holiday season. #romance #historical #holiday Share on X

This has a bunch of well-known to me authors. I don’t read much historical romance but this might be a nice change from the contemporary ones I’ve been reading. Thanks for letting us know it’s a solid option. Anne – Books of My Heart

I love slipping into historical every now and again.
Sophia Rose
Oh that is funny that you read it last year. You and Anna do so great about posting ahead.
I like all those authors so it will be a when not if that I get to this one. Those sound cute. I’ve had those wary moments that turn to relief when a situation like the engagement isn’t as it seems. 🙂

LOL, it was more that my schedule was filled and I thought it would be silly to share a Christmas anthology in February?

Oh nice, with 3 great authors too!
Kimberly
Agreed.
