Loading... A Christmas Promiseby Mary Balogh
None. Romance As usual, Ms. Balogh managed to get my emotional buy-in - there were actual tears. Twice. I didn't like Eleanor all the time - she jumped to conclusions and wouldn't TALK to Randolph. Fortunately, Randolph was prepared to compromise - in fact, he was the one who initiated detente almost the whole time. But, other than my occasional annoyance with Ellie, I really enjoyed the book. It's nice to see it back in print! Love this Christmas Love Story, just finished it again, I think I will read it every year. Leaves me with a warm fuzzy feeling and looking forward to Christmas with all my family. Excellent story with well-developed characters. Lots of narrative but still interesting; you really understood the thoughts and feelings of both the hero and heroine. A keeper.
I agree that this is a beautifully written book. Many of Balogh’s earlier and very good novels are light on dialogue but very heavy on introspection and internal monologues. In this book, where the hero and heroine are thrown together and develop an unwilling attraction, this lets us see their feelings develop and uses their sharp words toward each other sparingly.
