    It was a quick read. Yes, you know who the main character is going to get with; however, it kept me guessing in other ways. It had enough sexual innuendo to make the story good without being raunchy.

    I liked the strong characters. I felt that it could have been longer,it was a short read. It also felt like she didn't always finish her thoughts.

    I enjoyed this novel as a seasonal read. The atmosphere was good and the story itself had some unexpected moments.

    A large part of my personal Christmas reading enjoyment comes from discovering so many Christmas Romances across the various genre that I enjoy. Discovering new-to-me authors is a gift I give to myself this time of year. So I was quite pleased to find Christmas at Devil’s Gate.

    Honour is mere weeks from her birthday when she shall gain control of her sizable inheritance. Unfortunately, until that time she is on the run from an unscrupulous and rather nasty uncle who is determined to control her vast fortunes by marrying her to his son. That is so not going to happen. At least, if Honour has anything to say about it. Being out in a very bad snow storm was not the wisest decision, but if Honour is to avoid a kidnapping and forced marriage she needs to put miles between herself and her uncle. A broken axle will change her direction, and perhaps change the course of her life as well.

    As Ralph is recuperating at his estates from a very bad war injury, he is counting the day until he can return to battle. The season means little to him, this place holds such bad memories that he’s only opened up the bare minimum of rooms for his recovery. The last thing he expected was a young miss climbing over the locked gate at the end of his drive… or the mayhem that this lovely young woman is about to bring to his life.

    I enjoyed Honor and Ralph’s story very much. Two extremely strong willed, stubborn people, each fully expecting their decisions to be immediately acted upon – not second guessed by another. Their story flows smoothly from madcap introduction, to attraction, to danger and perhaps a happy ending neither had seen for themselves before they met. I don’t write this often for I’m usually content with the story the author has given me, yet I would have enjoyed a slight epilogue on this story – but that’s my own wish. I would recommend Christmas at Devil’s Gate to any Historical or Regency Romance reader who enjoys a lively plot, strong characters and a sense of danger.

    I read this title through my Kindle Unlimited subscription.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 7, 2020
    This is a brilliantly written delightful seasonal story that will keep you entertained on dark nights. The plot is full of intrigue and suspense. The characters are portrayed with the necessary strength to overcome their obstacles. This is a great book for all those who love clean historical romances that have plenty of twists and turns.

    A delightful and lighthearted story, one you don't want to stop reading. I thoroughly enjoyed the romance. As usual it is a well written book that I have no hesitation in recommending. It would make a great Christmas present.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Unexciting.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 27, 2017
    Reasonably well writen but more like a full length novel where the author has run out of ideas than a purpose written novella. A bit boring , very predictable and an abrupt ending.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining Christmas story
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 31, 2021
    Clever and romantic story but I didn’t like one aspect of the heroine’s character when she threatens the staff to lose their jobs if they speak say something she doesn’t like. Other than that I really enjoyed it.
