A Christmas Proposal

Beatrice felt she had no chance to ever have a family of her own.  She lost the love of her life in The Great War.  She was not going to allow herself to feel such sorrow again.  

As time goes by, she meets the new doctor, David,  and a small child that has her changing her mind.  

Beatrice also has to deal with her mother's expectations for her.  What a snob her mother was.  Does Beatrice allow her mother to destroy her future or does she grab the happiness that is within her reach?

I couldn't figure Beatrice out when she discovered David was going to serve the country. Her rash decision made no sense to me.  I can't say too much as I don't want to spoil it.  Fortunately, Beatrice saw the error of her ways.

I didn't read book one but I soon caught on where the story was headed.  I enjoyed the book.  

I received this to review from Boldwood Books.

A Christmas Proposal

She lost everything in the Great War – her brothers, her fiancé, her way of life. Will this new war bring back long-buried feelings?

Beatrice is settling into life in the countryside, along with Victoria and Nell, as a teacher evacuee. Her world is turned upside down again when she meets David, the new doctor at the military hospital, whose kindness and gentleness warm her frozen heart.

Her remaining defences crumble entirely when the family of one of her pupils is killed in an airstrike, and she can no longer deny her motherly affection for the child.

But is Beatrice willing to risk the loss and heartache that comes with love in wartime? When David volunteers for military service and history threatens to repeat itself, Beatrice must dig deep to find the courage to live the life she’s dreamed of…

A gripping, festive Second World War saga for fans of Daisy Styles, Katie Flynn and Elaine Everest.
