In her latest romance, Jane Goodger weaves an unforgettable tale of a woman who thinks she's lost everything--until a little Christmas magic reunites her with the one man she could never forget. . . Dashing, debonair, and completely irresistible, Edward Hollings has all of Newport buzzing--and to Maggie Pierce's surprise, she alone has caught his eye. But when the handsome earl returns to England without proposing, a devastated Maggie knows she must forget him. Life only gets worse for Maggie, as all her dreams of happiness and love come crashing down around her. When Maggie receives an invitation to go to England for the Christmas birth of her dear friend's baby, she accepts--vowing to keep her devastating lies and shameful secrets from the one man she has ever loved. Edward vowed he'd never marry, but he came dangerously close with Maggie. She's beautiful, witty, indescribably desirable--and Edward can't forget her. When Maggie visits mutual friends for Christmas, Edward can't stay away. In fact, he finds himself more attracted to her than ever--a desire fueled even more by Maggie's repeated snubs. With the love he never thought he'd find slipping away, Edward is determined to make Maggie his own, no matter what the cost. . .
To me, Jane Goodger is right up there with the best historical romance writers. Although this doesn't have many Christmas elements, the romance is wonderful. Maggie makes my heart break and she deserves a wonderful hero like Edward. Truly one of her best.
Great follow up

A Christmas Scandal by Jane Goodger didn't disappoint. Her last year's Christmas novel "Marry Christmas" made me want to know what happened to Maggie. Both books stand on their own but I think every one will be happy to see the story go on. In fact the romance between Maggie and Edward Hollings keeps us worried much of the time. Maggie goes to England to be with her friend Elizabeth as she awaits the birth of her first child and has mixed feelings about seeing Edward. She knows she fell in love with him when they were both in Newport, RI the previous year, but he had left without even a goodby. When they meet, it is quite cold on both their parts. This is a Romance so we just know the cold will turn to hot. And boy does it ever!!!!If you want to warm up on a cold windy day or night---this is the book for you.
