Alexandra Rankin Hunt leaves for Knights Bridge,
Massachusetts and the wedding of her cousin, Dylan
McCaffrey. She designed, sewed and mailed the wedding
dress
for his bride, Olivia Frost, as well as the bridesmaids'
dresses. Now she's ready to attend the wedding, make a few
alterations to the bridesmaid dresses and forget Ian
Mabry.
Alex, an up-and-coming fashion designer in London,
recently
moved to Cotswold, met Ian and thought she fell in love,
only to discover that he just wants a trophy for his side.
Or that's the reason she decides to break all ties with
him.
Upon arriving in Knights Bridge at Carriage Hill Farm,
Alex
finds Ian already there. Could things be any worse? She's
trying to forget him, but that's going to be hard to do
with him staying in the same house. Can she get through
this wedding and keep her heart in tack from this sexy
English rake?
Carla Neggers brings us a delightful Christmas novella
from
her Swift Valley River series. Not having read any
of the
books in this series, I was at a bit of a loss with
relationships, but Ms. Neggers does a good job of making
the connections as you go along. I'm sure the other
stories
in this series are just as charming. Alex and Ian are
strong main characters with several supporting characters
that bring a strong sense of family values and comradery
to
the story. It's a story about a love lost years ago and
the
lives that were changed because of it.
CHRISTMAS AT
CARRIAGE HILL is a heart-warming tale about love and
misunderstanding. This novella is a great, quick
evening read by the fire. There are some delicious-
sounding
recipes, mentioned throughout the story, that are included
between chapters.
