Nicholas survived a terrible, loveless childhood and as an adult left a trail of broken hearts in his wake, never wanting to open himself up to love and its possibilities. But he is captivated by Lady Noelle and despite the fact that she's bethrothed to one of his fellow knights, he can't stay away from her as he knows he should. The secondary plotline of Noelle's brother and the murderous knight who lays waste to her family castle seem destined to become the focus of a sequel to this book as they are not fully explored here.
While this seems like it should be a Christmas book based on the title, there's little to make it Christmas related. Noelle is to marry Gavin at Christmas if she finds him acceptable. And the women all decorate the hall, including with the requisite mistletoe. But in general, there are no Christmas traditions included or woven into the plot and the story could have as easily taken place any time of the year. Also, the narrative is very general and normal until Nicholas almost dies, at which point, Merlin, who had been absent from the story until now, is brought in and must use magic to bring Nicholas back from the dead in order to allow Noelle and her chosen knight to have their happily ever after. This is rather disruptive to the flow of the storyline and unnecessary to prove that Noelle is willing to chase after love. Over all, the story itself is all right if a bit choppy. However, not much about it really stands out. An average romance that will still appeal to Camelot romantics. ( )
