Description

She's never been so humiliated--and she plans to never let him forget it.Helena Spencer will never forgive the Earl of Chapman for snubbing her so publicly. It wasn’t her idea that they get married, after all. She was practically a bystander to the whole debacle, yet she alone bore the brunt of society’s judgment. Snubbed by an earl? She’d likely never recover. But then she finds herself at the same holiday house party with Lord Chapman. What a way to ruin Christmas. After his father’s sudden death, Lord Chapman had little choice but to step into a life he hardly felt ready for. He quickly learned that everyone had opinions about how an earl’s life should look, even the aging relative who tried to marry him off to a woman he’d never even met. Now he had to spend Christmas at a house party with his mother and sisters? What a wretched way to spend the festive season. With their shared history, Helena and Lord Chapman are unlikely friends. But when circumstances continue to throw them together, Helena presses the earl to help repair the damage he inflicted on her reputation by aiding her attempt to snag a husband from among the gentlemen at the party. The only trouble? Lord Chapman is falling for Helena’s charms himself. Would that she allow the gentleman that wins her heart to be him. The Joy of Christmas Present is the second in A Dickens of a Christmas series. It is a clean and wholesome Regency Christmas romance (think: a clean Bridgerton); a story of perseverance, Christmas capers, and joy. Each book in this series is a stand-alone and can be read apart or enjoyed in proper order. Book 1: The Hope of Christmas Past Book 2: The Joy of Christmas Present Book 3: The Peace of Christmas Yet to Come previously published under the author name L. G. Rollins. Read more

    • Cart before the horse!
Overcome with grief at the sudden loss of his father just weeks before, the overwhelming amount of work needing to be done has had Fredrick working night and day. It's quite normal to be caught off guard when his uncle announces that he's done him a great favor by finding him a wife. And to make things even more shocking, a young lady he has never met who's recently lost her father and is left quite alone has been chosen, and his uncle has the marriage contract arranged and ready for him to sign! At once Fredrick questions his uncle and cousin, who's come along for the happy announcement, to make sure no one else is aware of the crazy plan. When they have firmly, at least his uncle, stated that only the involved parties are aware of this unforseen plan, he sends them away with a definite answer. No! In town just a few days after his uncle's shocking announcement, for the family had planned to take some time in the country to rest and grieve, he does hear a few whispered bits of gossip about the canceled engagement, but thinks nothing of it since the family is away when the far flung scandal rages through society and the gossip rags. Helena, unfortunately, has been in London for the duration, staying with her dear friend and her parents. As is common with such rumors, there was little true it to begin with, and no one to try and correct the record if it was even possible. It remains that a year later, Helena is still unaware of what actually happened. This is such a great read, you won't want to miss it! Just imagine after the forgoing, that you arrive at a country house for the holiday season, only to find your hostess does not know that it is you who is to be a guest, and that the man who cruelly ruined you will also be in attendance for the month! ... show more

    • Interesting, unique twist
You may often encounter stories that take a slant on a classic--Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre recasts and extensions are rampant but this is my first reimagining of A Christmas Carol. It wasn't terribly long but I thought it could do with some condensing--some scenes replayed to no good effect. The timeline seemed hazy, as though Rollins decided an issue needed some more time to develop. ... show more

    • Clean!
I really enjoyed this book. I’ve been bored with all the contemporary romances that just seem to be about sex so I went into my library and looked for some regency titles and downloaded this. This is about Helena and Frederick. After I had been reading a while, I checked it to see how much of the book was left and saw it was only 1/2 way done, I thought “oh no. What’s left to take that much time?” But it went quite smoothly. I know it’s supposed to kind of be a play on Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol”, but I didn’t think that part made sense. Maybe it comes more into play in the other books. This was the first one I read. Regardless, I enjoyed the story and liked both characters. If you like nice, easygoing stories with not much angst, no swearing and no sex, this one is a winner! ... show more

    • really enjoyable book
I really enjoyed this book so much. I am enjoying all the books in this series. Now I am going to read book 3. I am enjoying the Dickens part of the stories as well. This is a clean read.

    • All’s Well That Ends Well
Wonderfully interesting Christmas setting at a house party in which Helena joins with her friend. Frederick has arrived with his family and they meet for the first time. Some relatives had tried to get them together years before, but Frederick refused to marry a woman he’s never met. This resulted in scandal for Helena and she has been treated poorly by society. I really liked how this story played out. Both have enough sense to form an unlikely alliance to help Helena to find a husband. As they naturally spend time together, they both begin to see the other in a new light. Love comes softly. Thank you to the author for a sweet and clean, yet romantic read. The heroine is one I could root for and the hero is honorable. ... show more

    • Clean Christmas romance
The second in the Dickens series and just as entertaining as the first! Each can be read as a stand alone but I enjoyed reading them in order to see the cross over from the first book. The characters and plot are well written and developed. There is hope and laughter in spite of hard times, made richer by friendship, family and love. I look forward to reading the next in the series! ... show more

    • Serviceable
This is certainly good enough, as a KU and holiday story, neither of which sets the bar too high. It’s clever, but I think Rollins does herself a disservice with the explanations in her endnotes. Either the reader knows Dickens’s story and the scenes/quotes/paraphrases are obvious, or she doesn’t and no amount of explanation will make them so. Also, I think her discussion questions are a bit presumptuous. There were mistakes in the Regency style. Modern phrases like “messed up” crept in where they did not belong. On the plus side, I liked all the characters better. ... show more

    • loved it!
This was a cute story with the continuation of a Christmas carol type story. Still with a storyline of its own. This story carried a little bit of everything, but most importantly, this was a clean read.
