Regina is approaching her thirtieth birthday and wants nothing more
than to take some control over her life before being forced to marry a
man she does not love. She decides to lose her virginity to the
handsome Daffin Oakleaf, who she so easily connected with a few
months prior, is the perfect birthday gift. The only problem is he's a
Bow Street Runner and beneath her in social standing, so if anyone
found out it would lead to disaster. However, when someone starts to
threaten Regina's life, Daffin steps in to protect her and their previous
spark reignites. Can Regina and Daffin overcome their social classes to
find true love over the Christmas holiday?
KISS ME AT CHRISTMAS is another
installment in Valerie Bowman's Playful Brides series. Previous readers of the series will be
happy to learn that Bowman has made sure to include other characters
from previous stories, but will also be quite pleased with the heroine
and hero of KISS ME AT
CHRISTMAS. Regina is a wonderful heroine. Older than most
romance heroines, she has some maturity due to her age, and her
independent nature and loyalty to family are great traits. Her
vulnerabilities and mistakes make her a very human character, and
readers will easily be able to relate to her. Daffin has easily become one
of my favorite heroes from Bowman's novels, and intelligence,
determination, and loyalty are easy to see. I like that Bowman puts
together two characters from different social classes, and their
struggle is believable. The Christmas backdrop adds some magic to the
story, and the romance is tender and sensual. There are some great
action scenes in KISS ME AT
CHRISTMAS and a couple of plot twists will take readers by
surprise, and keep them on their toes. KISS ME AT CHRISTMAS has easily become one of my
favorite books by Bowman, and romance readers will not want to miss
this holiday romance.
