4 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Three very cute Regency stories. I really loved the variety that we got in each story, even if they all tie into the title theme. Novella 1: The Two Bells of Christmas by Joanna Barker ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I loved this first novella best. I thought the MC's were very likable and even though their love story was quick, it progressed in a believable way. I love when the men fall in love with "unconventional" women or the ones their mothers don't particularly care for. I found myself trying to figure out when Roland figured out the ruse. I also found the play on words in the title very cute. Novella 2: Promise Me Again by Annette Lyon ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The second story was my least favorite, and I think it just had scenes that seemed too long for a novella. I also felt that the story focused way too much on the villain. However, the love story is believable in that our couple has been falling in love for years before the tale starts, and the action was compelling. Novella 3: A Christmas Journey by Jennifer Moore ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This third story feels a little bit insta-love BUT I really liked Lucy. Although she was headstrong and naive, she is also very determined. I liked Lucy's compassion and selflessness throughout the journey and how she is able to reach out to each person in their little group and make it a special holiday. Overall, If you are a Regency Fan, and like novellas, I think you will enjoy this collection. *Special thanks to Joanna Barker and her team for providing me with a paperback copy* Follow Me!
