Review - An Ivy Hill Christmas by Julia Klassen

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've not read the rest of Julie Klassen's Ivy Hill series but I enjoyed this Regency novella. Set during the festive season in a country town outside of London, we follow the main protagonist, Richard, as he navigates a family Christmas for the first time in many years, having cemented his reputation as a dandy and a scoundrel in the city.

In a story that is as much to do with forgiveness and coming to terms with past mistakes as it is about romance, Richard meets old friends and makes some new ones, learns about himself and meets someone special who could turn things around for him. But is she willing to change her own ambitions to be with him?

This was a really charming story to read in the run up to Christmas, perfect for fans of Jane Austen (who gets a number of nods in here) and dramas like Downton Abbey.

Thank you NetGalley and Bethany House for providing me with a copy for review.
