Eleanor Glover is a shy young women who would
rather be helping sick animals than be seen socializing with
London's society. When handsome Geoffrey Westerly, Lord Staines,
asks for her hand in marriage, she is shocked because she is not
as beautiful and outgoing as her three beautiful sisters. As a
Christmas Eve wedding is planned, Lord Staines offers Eleanor
his card, for she is to write down what her heart desires. Will
he give her the one thing her heart desires most, his love in
return? As Christmas nears, Eleanor sets out to make Geoffrey
fall in love with her.
Lord Staines is one of London's most handsome men. Now as a
promise to his dying father, Geoffrey promises to marry on
Christmas Eve. Once he meets his betrothed, he is afraid that
his passionate nature will scare her away like it did his first
love.
Now in a beautiful countryside setting, two people who agree
to marry find themselves under the kissing bough. As sparks fly,
they soon find themselves enjoying each other’s kisses. But
will that be enough for them to build a lasting marriage?
UNDER THE KISSING BOUGH was a wonderful Christmas story.
Eleanor’s sisters and Geoffrey's brother were an added bonus
to the story. Also add in the detail of the Christmas traditions
and the holiday spirits, and you have an enjoyable Christmas
read.
