Historical romance has always been my genre of choice, A Kiss at Christmastide reminded me why. Anytime a reader allows themselves to get so lost that sorry is experienced when the story ends, you know you've stumbled upon a diamond. Pippa's trusting heart and beautiful soul hides many insecurities. Her vulnerability makes her an easy target for manipulative and vengeful people. When a scandal ruins her chances at a her first London Season, she enters into seclusion and shuts herself off from it all. A stranger, a snowstorm and the hands of fate may just bring her isolation to an end. Pippa and Lucas embody all the qualities I look for in a story. Ms. McKnight evokes an emotional connection with Pippa from the very beginning. Her panic, heartbreak and loneliness make her an open book and jumped right out at me. Lucas was harder to figure out but a mystery worth solving. I couldn't help but fall for this beautiful fairytale.
