My Review:
Christmas Forevermore is a collection of 4 romance novellas set in England during the Regency period. The main characters were all likable, and most grew and healed through the events in the story. I liked three of the novellas a lot as the romantic pairs helped to bring out the best in the other, all while participating in Christmas festivities.

In “Christmas at Cranfield,” they knew they loved each other during that first Christmas, but the hero had already agreed to marry a woman he didn't love. The moment he was free, he didn't do anything to see if his true love was still free. So she encouraged an acceptable, nice suitor only to discover during the second Christmas that the hero hadn't married. She strongly hinted that she wanted him to propose, but he's terrified that his best friend (her brother) will turn down his offer because he has no title. He never had the guts to ask, which really disappointed me, though they obviously got a happy ending anyway.

There was no sex or bad language. Overall, it's a charming holiday romance collection that I'd recommend to fans of Regency romances.
