Publisher Description
Can the magic of the Christmas season lead to a fairy tale happy ending?
When Cara Roberts’ family plans an extra special Christmas to support her after her broken engagement, she wants nothing to do with the holiday. After learning her brother and his wife can’t use the cottage vacation they purchased, she impulsively escapes to an English cottage in the bucolic village of Bakewell, despite having no idea where Bakewell is.
Lord Alec Sherbourne of Langley Park is no fan of Christmas, but following in his parents’ footsteps, he annually donates his impressive 19th century country home to be decorated and opened on December weekends as a community fundraiser. This year, Christmas is complicated by the arrival of a pretty American woman who booked a cottage on his estate—only the cottage is occupied. Forced to take her under his vast roof, he’s dismayed when a storm and frozen pipes keep her with him longer than he’d anticipated. Even more worrisome, her presence is making it feel like Christmas for the first time in forever.
As these two holiday housemates become friends, is there something more in the Christmas air?
Customer Reviews
Wonderful Christmas story.
Jane Porter did it again. What an amazing Christmas romance. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
Once Upon a Christmas
Oh how I loved this story ! And guess what ? Completely clean. Storytelling at its best.l
Utterly charming
Once Upon a Christmas, the first book in the Love at Langley Park series by Jane Porter, hits hard at the heartstrings right out of the gate. From the opening page, Cara’s unique loveliness captures your heart…she takes you with her on her utterly charming and wonderfully unexpected Christmas travel to the English countryside of Langley Park.
With Ms Porter’s trademark wit and charm, along with a fluidity flowing dialog, Alec and Cara, and the remaining delightful cast of characters, fill you with a holiday warmth that only the most gifted writers are able to create.
I most certainly am looking forward to the next installment in the series, Ella’s story.
