    This is the third time I’ve read this over the years. It’s simple, lighthearted and funny. Loved it from the onset.

    So often titles seem to have very little to do with the stories, but "A Surprise Christmas Proposal" does fit this novel. Sophia is a delightful character and the dialogue is witty and fun. Gabrial is a great grouch, but the thawing of that cold heart, while fun, seemed to happen very quickly. The book really needed another chapter between the last two to make the ending a little more believable. A good read regardless.

    From the back cover:

    HER CHRISTMAS GIFT CAME IN A SMALL VELVET BOX...

    "Isn't it strange how things turn out? A week ago I was virtually jobless, almost homeless, and had totally sworn off men -- a sad way to be before Christmas, don't you think? Now I'm not only working for the most gorgeous man alive, but I'm living in his house!"

    Meet sassy, smiley Sophie Harrington. Read in her own words how a much-needed job brings her up close and personal with rugged bachelor Gabriel York. Although Sophie is hardly a waif or stray, Gabriel ends up taking her in as a temporary lodger in his exclusive London home. How long before he realizes Sophie isn't just for Christmas--but for life...?

    ::::::::::::::: SUPER sweet book. Gabriel is a bit of a grouch, and it's very heartwarming to watch Sophie draw him out. This book is written in the first person, which is a bit unusual for the genre. Nevertheless, Fielding makes it work, and the effect is lighthearted and fun. This book comes highly recommended (as do almost all of Fielding's books)! :::::::::::::::

    If you think you can stop at one chapter, you are in for a shock. A surprise Christmas Proposal is a heartwarming, passionate book perfect for a cold winter night. And the characters come to life so well that I got attached. Especially to Gabriel!
