If you like time-travel AND Christmas romance stories, this is a must-read. The characters are well-developed and likeable, and humourous parts are frequent, even during suspenseful moments. The author has provided good descriptions of the clothing, settings, and holiday customs of that time, as well as some British history.The political intrigue tended to drag on a little too long, while the ending could have been stretched out more, since it left me wanting for more details.Altogether, I would recommend this book, and will probably read it again next Christmas.
