About this ebook

He needs to walk again. But he may need her more…

Lord Warrick lost more than the use of his legs on the battlefield, injuries crushing his expectation of an heir along with his spirits. But it’s hard to keep a bawdy man down, so Warrick continues to entertain with outlandish remarks, denying his pain. But when he starts up a flirt with a most unusual female, he cannot get the Latin-speaking governess out of his mind…

Responsible for the most exuberant young lady around, Aphrodite Primrose has her hands more than full—so why do they keep aching to comfort the haughty yet haunted peer who crosses her path time and again at her employer’s house party? Past threats to her virtue taught her some lords cannot be trusted, but this one…seems different. And it’s more than his inability to walk.

Impossible hopes dare to beckon when they exchange a kiss under the mistletoe but common sense brings them crashing down. For there exists no possible way this unrepentant fortune hunter, responsible for more than just himself, can marry anyone but an heiress. Time passes, filled with both tragedies and triumphs, until their paths cross again.

This time? Warrick’s determined to catch her, whether he can chase her or not.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

A 120,000 word extended novel, A Moonlit Christmas Kiss is a sweet (with hints of spice) Regency-styled historical romance with lots of fun and sexy banter but minimal actual intimacy on the page.

A Moonlit Christmas Kiss takes place over a two-year period, with Part I occurring during the house party that begins in A Snowlit Christmas Kiss.

All Regency Christmas Kisses books are HEA standalones.

Last book of the series brings us the love story of Aphrodite and Warrick. Warrick is wheelchair bound from the war, has inherited a debt ridden earldom and has a family that needs supported. Except he met Aphrodite a governess and is totally taken in by her. A few years later they meet again and the situation is still the same, the attraction is still the same and the wounds are still the same. This book eloquently works through how this couple make a choice to be together rather than apart despite their hurdles. Written in typical LL style (unique and often irreverent), there's lots of funny dialogue, and emotional parries. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

4 1/2*STARS* This is a long book that extends over a period of approximately two years. Aphrodite, governess, and a wounded warrior now the Earl of Warrick, meet at a house party and a spark is lite. He may be confined to a Merlin's chair, but he is scandalous in his "witty" comments. His attraction to her causes him frustration and pain, for his has nothing to offer a lady, but his title. With a death and responsibilities, Warrick realizes he must take up the reins to save his family. It's only when fate steps in, that he and Aphrodite may have a chance for a life together. May be this could have been a little shorter. Just a little? Passionate kisses and a little descriptive sex. I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book from Booksirens.

I can understand the MMC's frustration with his situation and his need to marry an heiress. Meanwhile, we see the growing attraction between our main characters: a noble gentleman and a governess. It makes me wonder how these two could find their happily ever after, given the gap in their social status. I loved the MMC's charming personality and the FMC's sharp wit. Their banter was delightful, and I appreciated the happiness they ultimately found together.
