"Expectations at Canterwood' finds the path to love is rocky. The main protagonists have to find their way past mistaken identity and their own self doubts, and family doesn't smooth the path. Will they find a future together?
I recommend this in either hard copy or Kindle. I enjoyed it so much I bought the Audible narration. It made this fun book full of color and joy flat and insipid, a total 'meh'. Skip it, but don't skip this lovely anthology!
I’m a longterm fan of Christmas anthologies and I pre-order everything that Carla Kelly publishes.
Thankfully, Carla Kelly hasn’t let me down with her story in this anthology. It is, as usual, a lovely romance, with Kelly’s beliefs on her sleeve, yet delivered with a kindness that is hard to beat. There will be no surprises for Kelly fans - her hero is flawless, his loving wife a pearl beyond price and their children are all cast in the same mould.. As I’ve mentioned in previous reviews, Kelly’s predictability could make her boring, but somehow it doesn’t - and that’s why she is such a keeper.
Of the other stories, to my mind only one comes anywhere close to Kelly’s offering and that is Expectations at Canterwood. While I found the story to drag on and on at certain points, it is saved by the way in which the H and the h help one another see their lives from an alternative perspective - and by a romance that is more than skin deep, full of warmth and mutual support.
A Season for Hope left me more in the cold. A man who appears to have made his fortune at the expense of slaves? Two young men travel to Jamaica, penniless, to work on a plantation and only a few years later the H returns to England, very wealthy? With only a mention of him working hard and investing wisely? And, as an almost aside, mention of the “workers” on the plantation. This doesn’t gel with me in a Christmas tale.
The final story, Lord Blakely’s Gift, has the odd touch that is appealing, but the author’s writing style is not for me. I found it clunky and difficult to read.
I'm looking forward to finding more stories from these authors.
