Another week of indoor walking. I try not to wish time away but Spring can’t arrive soon enough. Hoping all my New England friends are well and have dug out from the blizzard. You’ve been in my thoughts.

Read on the treadmill:

Synopsis:  When Viscount Avery comes to see an invalid chair maker, he does not expect to find Min Bradshaw, the woman who rejected him 3 years earlier. Or did she? He wonders if there is more to the story. For 3 years, Min Bradshaw has remembered the handsome guardsman who courted her for her fortune. She didn’t expect to see him in her workshop, and she certainly doesn’t intend to let him fool her again.  (author)

My take:  When author Jude Knight let me know her novella was free on Amazon I checked it out and promptly downloaded it to my Kindle. I enjoy historical romances and love when there’s a Christmas theme.

Candle is a nickname for Viscount Randall Avery. He’s quite tall and has red hair, hence the nickname. He met Minerva at a house party three years ago and couldn’t forget her even though it seemed she wanted nothing more to do with him. Min had been told, by an unreliable source it turns out, he only wanted her for her money. She quickly left the party without saying goodbye. What a shock for both when they met again in Min’s workshop. Candle was there to order a wheelchair for his mother.

Min was determined not to get involved with Candle. The differences were too much to overcome – he a peer and she a shopkeeper’s daughter. Candle took that as a challenge and set to work at winning Min’s heart and trust. This part was so charming that I don’t want to spoil it for other readers except to say I learned quite a bit about the language of flowers. I also found the wheelchair aspect of the novella quite interesting.

Knight included a bit of drama that I was happy didn’t go down a predictable road. I enjoyed this novella and recommend it to fans of the author and historical romance.

  3. I sold my treadmill and only have an exercise bike, and it’s hard to read, with no place to set the books…I guess this is where audio books would come in handy…LOL.

    Candle’s Christmas Chair sounds lovely. Thanks for sharing.

  6. We had one day last week that hit 72 degrees! I took an extra long walk outside. =) It was just Mother Nature teasing us though — next day was really cold!

    • I heard about that warm day west of us. Sadly it didn’t reach SE WI. The next day had to be hard to bear though. Yay for an outdoor walk!

  7. Excellent walking on the treadie Mary. I don’t want to wish the months away but I’m hanging out for slightly cooler weather. Thanks for the heads up, I picked up Candle’s Christmas Chair while it was free.

  8. I’ve been doing indoor walking, too, but without a treadmill. I just walk around my house, sometimes while catching up on my DVR or sometimes just putting on audio book on. I can’t wait for the winter to be over, either!
