Once Upon A Dickens Christmas
by Michelle Griep
-From Goodreads- Three Delightful Christmas Tales from Beloved Storyteller Michelle Griep Pour yourself a cuppa, get lost in the merriment of the season, and enjoy a Dickensian Christmas in three stories from fan favorite Michelle Griep: 12 Days a Bleakly Manor: Brought together under mysterious circumstances, Clara and Ben discover that what they’ve been striving for isn’t what ultimately matters. What matters most is what Christmas is all about . . . love. A Tale of Two Hearts: Pleasure seeker William Barlow needs a wife immediately to gain his uncle’s inheritance, and Mina Scott is just the girl to make him look respectable—too bad she turns him down. Ought he give her a second chance? The Old Lace Shop: Recently widowed Bella White is finally freed from the domination of the overbearing men in her life, but when she enters into a business partnership with the handsome Edmund Archer, she begins to wonder if marriage is worth a second chance.

A Tale of Two Hearts: A Tale Of Two Hearts was a little different than its predecessor in that there was less adventure and more about the motivations of the hero and heroine themselves. Will and Mina are two of the most delightfully flawed characters. They make mistakes and their relationship is mostly based on deceit as they do all of the wrong things for the right reasons.
The Old Lace Shop: My second favorite of the three, The Old Lace Shop truly is a tale of second chances as everyone in it is in need of a second or even a third chance. I couldn't help but like the main characters, they've both been deeply hurt but they try so hard to rely on their faith to get them through. Toss in some suspense and you get quite the Christmas adventure!
Overall: Whether you are a Dickens fan or not Michelle Griep's Once Upon A Dickens Christmas is a fun collection of stories. These tales of redemption, forgiveness, and second chances, in a historical romance setting are perfect for reading during the Christmas season or any time really...
