Ever since her husband died, Lady Anne Gladstone has locked herself out of the world, trapped in a prison of her own making. With another Christmas drawing near, her father starts pushing her to put her mourning clothes aside and give love a second chance. However, Anne feels too fragile to enter society again. This will all change though, with the fateful arrival of the estate’s mysterious and handsome gardener…

Will Anne keep the walls around her heart intact, or could destiny have other plans for a life she thought to be over?

Anthony Smith has endured a lifetime of heartache, all packed into the last year of his life. When he and his little son move to the Duke of Risinghurst’s estate, he looks forward to turning a new page. What he never expected though, is that he would meet the only woman able to fill his heart’s dark void, with feelings he thought to be gone forever. However, Anne is a woman far out of his reach and the Duke would never allow such a match…

Will the kind gardener manage to make Anne’s heart bloom with love again?

Anne and Anthony have the cards stacked against them, as they have both endured heartbreak, and they both have children to think about. To make matters worse, an unforeseeable incident will soon shake up their lives even more… Will Anne and Anthony be able to put their mistrust and trauma behind and fall in love again? Could a Christmas miracle take place and bless them with the gift of true love?

Editorial Reviews

Review

The book has resonated with readers! Here's some excerpts from their reviews:

"This was a wonderful story filled with a sweet romance, great characters, emotional upheavals, and an unexpected love when you least expect it. I enjoyed the development from friends to romantic interest between the hero and heroine. Each character has locks on their heart and never believed that love would cross their path ever again. [...] All trying to form a new path in life for themselves. Who will succeed? I loved the entire story! " - J.J., Amazon review ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

"This is a wonderfully crafted, clean and sweet story, of how love can heal two tortured hearts. This plot sees two people who are struggling with heartache, being able to come together thanks to a very enlightened father. The extended epilogue brings you a delightful glimpse into their hopes for the future" - K.C., Amazon review ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐


"This story is about what a great love feels like when it is then lost. Then it becomes a story about loss and a new great love. I feel like all the background of the story that is told is necessary so we can see the story through both sets of eyes. [...] With all the parts explained, it makes you understand how hard it is to start over and what may happen when you do start to live again." - D., Amazon review ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐


"I found this story to be one of healing and love. A beautifully written, sweet tale of loss and love. Clean and inspirational!" - M., Amazon review ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

4.0 out of 5 stars A Lady’s Christmas Miracle
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2021

A Lady’s Christmas Miracle is a sweet and clean romance about Lady Anne Gladstone who found it very difficult to move on and enjoy life again after the death of her beloved husband. This is a sensitive book about the deep depression Anne experienced and the love, understanding and healing she needed in order to move on. The compassionate, loving man who won Anne’s heart had his own set of problems to deal with caused by his former in-laws. Despite Anne’s father cruelly trying to force her to accept an abusive man’s marriage offer, they do eventually find their way.

A wonderful story of seeing pain in having lost a spouse to that loss becoming joy in the courage to love again. It was so endearing to watch Anthony’s small son become a big brother in function to protect and bond to Anne’s small daughter, while their respective parents found love together to start a new life as a family of four.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Hero With integrity
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2021

Anthony Smith is a hero who has been hurt by his deceitful deceased wife and yet had not closed off his heart or become hardened perhaps due to the love he has for his son.
In the heroine, he sees a woman, Lady Anne, who needs the love he has in his heart to give.
I loved the Duke, Anne’s father, who was very unlike most of the nobility of the day and was able to see the worth of a man despite his lack of a title. The ending was wonderfully happy and the extended epilogue was just icing on the cake! Lovely story of two people with so much love to give meeting each other at the right time in their lives.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good story, but needs a good editor
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2021
Verified Purchase
This story of Anne and Anthony has a few plot twists to make it interesting, but the lack of editing detracts from the writing itself.
Paragraph breaks are in odd places, sometimes in the middle of a quote and sometimes even in the middle of a word. There are other issues,
Ike pronouns that aren’t clearly referring to a specific person.
We’re it not for the lack of editing, I would have given this story a higher rating.

4.0 out of 5 stars The children saw it first!
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2022

Anne has been living in a deep depression since the death of her beloved husband. Anthony is dealing with his own hurt when he comes to work for Anne's father. They each have a child to raise, but form a beautiful friendship that helps each of them to heal.
This book deals well with profound grief and some of the ways we handle it.

There are several places where a good editor would have caught wrong or misspelled words.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely romantic story.
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2021

Two souls who had endured heartbreak just may find what they need in each other. That said their journey is not an easy one but it did make for some interesting reading. As the hero and heroine became friends and then more it made the story so heartwarming and splendid to read in other words the characters were awesome. This is a book that I am happy to recommend I know it is one that I will revisit from time to time.
