A Great Read

I really enjoyed Merry and Lucas' story. It was a quick, enjoyable read and is a nice introduction to this new series. While these two had known each other their whole lives, it was very enjoyable to watch them really learn who the other was as an adult. I'm excited to see what Caldwell brings to us in the next book in the series!

A Wonderful Romantic Christmas Novella

A Winter Wish is the prequel novella to the Read Family Saga series and was also part of the Yuletide Wishes: A Regency Duet. It is a sweet Christmas romance and a great novella to read to start off the holiday season. It was well written, had charming characters, and could be read in one sitting. Lucas Holman, Viscount Grimslee, had always been the proper Holman child but after his family scandal and him letting his fiancé go because of it, he doesn’t want to play by society's rules...Merry loved Christmas and decorating for it but didn’t want help from Lucas. As they work together to get the house decorated their forbidden attraction grows but Merry can’t help wishing for a future with Lucas.
