One response to “A Christmas Kiss by Jen Geigle Johnson

    I liked the main characters of this book. Eva is so funny in her way of dealing with her heartbreak from an unfaithful fiancé. And she almost pulls it off except that her attire just doesn’t quite cooperate. I enjoyed their whole interchange at the first ball. It showed their true colors. She is quick to protect herself and he kind of enjoys the whole charade. And finds humor in the situation even after she turned him down in front of others. And he is also happy to help her out of awkward and embarrassing situations. Their conversation is blunt and there is no real pretense between them. It was refreshing.
    The conflict of the story mostly comes from within themselves. Hers, a learned lack of trust, and his, not having prepared himself to find success as a second son. But as a couple, they are delightful.
    I also loved how his family accepted her into theirs so immediately. I would love to have seen the faces of the ton when they married. They had snickered so much. It would be nice to show them that love prevails in a happily ever after.

    No sex, language or violence
