But one of the libraries had every single other title by Balogh, so I know where to go to read the rest of her works. LOL. <br /><br />I will expand my search to the inter library loan thing but maybe I'll just buy it. :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-87463449684690629232010-12-01T15:52:16.208-05:002010-12-01T15:52:16.208-05:00Thanks Nath!

Enjoy!<br /><br />Christine, I think they should have it. Balogh is a staple historical romance writer. Hope they do anyway. It's definitely a book to read for Christmas. I'll probably re-read it during that time. :)Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-69445383435270725802010-11-30T12:54:05.851-05:002010-11-30T12:54:05.851-05:00Thanks for the review, Hils.

I've seen the cover for it and it's just gorgeous! Either way, it's worth reading for the holidays. :) <br /><br />Tabitha, I'm so glad you decided to give this book a try. It's a wonderful holiday treat in the historical romance genre. Enjoy it! :)Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-31350343234553082352010-11-24T23:07:03.652-05:002010-11-24T23:07:03.652-05:00Lovely review, Hils!

I read it when it was first released and I'll be reading it again for the Holiday. Enjoy your re-read!<br /><br />Orannia, this book is absolutely perfect as a Christmas day read. And, I just read an m/m holiday anthology that I think you would love to read that day too... lol! I'm in an early holiday mood! But I'll be re-reading with you all that day. :) <br /><br />ScorpioM, A Christmas Promise is definitely a great example of Balogh's skill. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. <br /><br />Natalie, hi! I know you're not much for historical romances, but if you're in the mood for a great Christmas story, definitely give this one a try. Balogh writes a romance with excellent characterization, warmth, and a family theme. Plus I loved the HEA on this book. :)Hilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-68048416461135049312010-11-24T01:32:31.601-05:002010-11-24T01:32:31.601-05:00I can only count with my fingers the number of His...I can only count with my fingers the number of Historical Romance I've read so far. I think I liked the story now that I've read your review. I've flipped the front and back pages every time I go to Shoprite and wait for my mom to finish her grocery lists. I wasn't sure I'd go for this, but now I think I will.

I haven't had one in a few years now - was thinking of purchasing a m/m Christmas romance anthology, but I might go mad and purchase this too...and spend Christmas Day reading :)oranniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007355589161084262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444239480570451270.post-13033478499471390892010-11-23T15:12:09.139-05:002010-11-23T15:12:09.139-05:00I loved this book when I first read it years ago. ...I loved this book when I first read it years ago. After your review and the one at DA, I really think I'm going to have to dig out my copy and have a good re-read.
