A Christmas Proposal

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book, which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

She lost everything in the Great War – her brothers, her fiancé, her way of life. Will this new war bring back long-buried feelings?

Beatrice is settling into life in the countryside, along with Victoria and Nell, as a teacher evacuee. Her world is turned upside down again when she meets David, the new doctor at the military hospital, whose kindness and gentleness warm her frozen heart.

Her remaining defences crumble entirely when the family of one of her pupils is killed in an airstrike, and she can no longer deny her motherly affection for the child.

But is Beatrice willing to risk the loss and heartache that comes with love in wartime? When David volunteers for military service and history threatens to repeat itself, Beatrice must dig deep to find the courage to live the life she’s dreamed of…

A gripping, festive Second World War saga for fans of Daisy Styles, Katie Flynn and Elaine Everest.

REVIEW

Reading A Christmas Proposal is just like watching a movie. The author’s descriptive writing drew me in immediately to the atmosphere and historical time. Historical fiction is such a wonderful genre, especially when there are happy endings. With the Christmas season soon upon us, a heart-warming book is just what we need to settle down and get in the Christmas spirit. I always try to read Christmas stories before the holidays. Life is too busy, and slowing down to read a marvelous book is just the thing. Historical research is obvious as the author invites us into the time of World War II. Of course, during war there are many losses and so much grief. Can Beatrice take a great risk and fall in love again? Beautiful saga!
