Romance? Check. Minimal drama? Check. Christmas? Check.
Need I say more? Mary-Anne O’Connor has written my perfect novel!
Christmas Joy introduces us to a young woman, Miss Joy Parker, who has a vibrant, contagious love for life.
Everywhere she goes, Joy exudes kindness and generosity and suffice to say, when Christmas time comes around it lifts her spirits even higher.
While she may not have much in the way of material possessions and wealth, and even though her employer seems determined to try and steal her sparkle, Joy doesn’t let that get her down as she continues to care for those less fortunate than herself.
Things take a turn for Joy when she is introduced to the new Earl of the village, and she finds herself pulled into the world of debutante balls, gossip, and scandal.
Will Joy be able to stay true to herself and her family values, or will she be caught up in the drama of high-end society and royalty, especially when the heart gets involved?
In a world where discouragement can easily creep in, having something festive and wholesome to get lost in is very important, and Mary-Anne O’Connor gives us that gift within these pages.
I highly recommend adding this to your Christmas reading list, or gift it to someone you know who loves getting lost in all-things-romance! It is an easy read that will leave you encouraged to step out and give to others, whilst taking note of all the wonderful things happening around you.
Psalm 118:24 (ESV) – This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
For combining all the elements I love in one package, I give this book 5 stars.
