Book Review: Once Upon A Christmas by Jane Porter

  



Once Upon A Christmas A Love at Langeley Park Romance by Jane Porter
This story starts out with a dedication page then the story.
Cara is heading to England for the Christmas holiday as her brother and wife with new babies can't make the trip.
She had a recent engagement breakup and is tired of the family doting on her about it.
Nothing goes right when she arrives, no place for her, mix-up so those in charge let her stay at the family home where they are giving holiday tours.
When the owner Alec shows up he's in a bad mood after driving and no one to keep things in order so he has to do it. They move Cara then to another cottage, just renovated but that ends after one night.
Her vacation is turning out to be nothing of the sort. I really haven't liked England romance books but this one has changed my mind because of the things that happen, the thoughts and the spark they create and especially the memories they create by visiting many places.
Love hearing of the games they play, how they are played and the decorations, walks, bar and places to eat and explore. There is so much there to marvel at for me.
They both know it has to end and she's only got a few days left before she heads back to the US.  He will head back to London but she has opened his eyes about his relatives and he is so ever thankful for it.
We learn of her past with her fiancée and his past with his wife and then a woman a few years later that doesn’t pan out. Like relatives, they are so down to earth although they are elderly.
So many twists and turns and she leaves to go home. He is so lost without her and gets on a plane and tries to track her down....
Love how they talk about the important things in their lives that matter, compassion and devotion.
Another book in this series will come out at Christmas 2023.
Acknowledgements and other works by the author are highlighted at the end along with upcoming releases and about the author finish this book. X read for me, haven’t celebrated the past several years and this will be the year we put up the decorations again – thanks to the author for bringing back the spirit for me.
