The Duke of Christmas Past by Kim Bowman

By


Living in the present is impossible when your heart is stuck in the past.

The only thing Donovan Ellis, Seventh Duke of Gatewood, wants for Christmas is for it to be over. Too much sadness surrounds the holiday. Horrors he'd just as soon forget. Oh, there's one present he yearns for with all his heart, but he can't have her. His foolishness pushed her into the arms of another. So if he can't have the one thing he truly desires, then he just wants to be left alone to drown in his own misery.

But when a ghostly apparition visits him, claiming things can be set right, can Donovan believe? Can he trust the duke of Christmas past? Or will meddling in the past bring more heartache than he already has to bear?



What a lovely retelling of the Dickens Christmas story. (Or is it a pre-telling?) We all need a kick in the shin sometimes to see the error of our ways. I enjoyed seeing how Donovan was able to "fix" what had been done. If you like a sweet love story you will enjoy this one! I had a wonderful Christmas in July while reading this book.
*** I received this book as a gift from the author in exchange for my honest review. ***
