Hing ihkab midagi pühadeeelset ja kerget ja meeleolukat, et sellest detsembrihallusest üle olla.
Seega siis Stephanie Laurens, kes on üks mu lemmikutest armastusromaanide autoritest, kelle lugudes on alati isepäised ja eneseteadlikud naised, sajandi Inglismaal.
Lady Osbaldestone on väga paljudes lugudes olnud oluline kõrvaltegelane, kelle terav keel ja lollust mitte taluv käitumine on paljud kangelased ja kangelannad kriitilisel hetkel hädast välja aidanud.
Ja suur oli mu rõõm, kui ma nägin, et talle on kohe eraldi sari pühendatud, Nimelt on tema jõulukroonikatest tänaseks juba kolmas ilmunud, Igal aastal üks, selline helge ja meeleolukas lugu,
Varasematest raamatutest on jäänud mulje, et Therese Osbaldestone on selline pigemeluaastates eakas daam, terava keele ja veelgi teravama jalutuskepiga.
Selles raamatus seikleb aga viiekümnendates vanaema oma kolme lapselapse,,jaaastastega väikeses Little Moseley külakeses, Lapselapsed tulevad külla, sest nende isal on mumps ja nad saadetakse ohtlikku haiguse eest pakku, Alguses tundub, et tuleb väga igav jõul, kuid siis on ühel päeval kadunud kõik küla jõupraadideks nuumatud haned.
Ja lähebki lahti Stephanie Laurensi tuntud headuses lugu hanejahist, kosjasobitusest ja jõuluootusest Inglismaa väikekülas,
Selline lõputult helge lugemine väikese hingevärina ja seiklusega, soovitan kõigile, kes jõule oodates midagi head ja armast lugeda tahavad.

As they search the village, the family also finds themselves helping to bring a wounded veteran of the Napoleon wars, Lord Christian Longfellow, back out into village life and hopefully into romance with his neighbor, Miss Eugenia Fitzgibbon.
Will love be found as well as the “blasted” geese

I really, really loved this novel, I am a great fan of Christmas regency romance and I found this to be a delightful story, The village of Little Mosely was charming and delightful and I love the characters that inhabited the village, I also loved how the grandchildren were entranced with not only finding the geese, but also helping their grandmother to play matchmaker.
There was a nail biting incidence of suspense toward the end of the book, but I overall enjoyed that it had a little mystery, a little romance, but no violence and the romance was clean with only a kiss.


I listened to the audiobook while also reading along with the actual novel which was fun to do, I thought Helen Lloyd was an excellent narrator and it was a very enjoyable book to listen to as an audio.
She did

great with the characters and pacing of the story,

This is a first book in a planned series and I cant wait to read the rest of the series!

Overall, Lady Osbaldestones Christmas Goose is a delightful Christmas mystery and romance novel.
I highly recommend it!

This review was originally posted on my blog at: sitelink blogspot. com/ bk. It is hot here I've lost count of the number of days overwith no rain, The weatherman says rain I can look out my window and see the rain, but it always seems to stop three streets over from me.
When it's that hot outside, my mind turns to Christmas stories the ones with snow, snowmen, sledding, ice and cold weather.
A chance glance encounter with a remainder table a year ago had me acquiring this title and I deemed the time perfect for reading it.

I LOVE the main character, Lady Osbaldestone has decided it is time to stop traveling and settle down in her dower property in a village, Used to London, Ankara, St, Petersburg and the glittering capitals, will she be able to be useful to a small village, What's more can she handle her three grandchildren who are left to her charge the nursery made decamped when their parents succomb to measles.
Oh this was so much fun and I so enjoyed the authors very descriptive scene of the children looking for goose poo.
Yes, there is romance, but it is almost an aside, The real of the show are the lady, her grandchildren and the residents of the village, Fun Christmas story starring the wonderful Lady Osbaldestone, Grande Dame of Regency society, She has been one of my favorite characters throughout the Cynster books, and it's always an experience when she shows up.
As the story opens, Lady Osbaldestone is debating settling down in her widowhood at her dower property in the small village of Little Moseley.
She's not sure there will be enough to keep her busy, but at the moment she is welloccupied, Three of her grandchildren are staying with her while their father is ill and they have her life turned topsyturvy,

I loved the opening as the children explain the brouhaha they have caused to the church, They are obviously intelligent children with a lot of curiosity, I loved seeing Lady O try to keep a straight face as she deals with them and the vicar, She realized that she is going to have her hands full keeping them out of trouble, When the vicar mentions that the village's flock of geese has mysteriously disappeared, she gets the idea of involving them in the search.
It will also give her a chance to get reacquainted with the residents of the village, I loved the call on Eugenia, who is in charge of their estate until her brother comes of age, She is frustrated with the antics of him and his friends while they are visiting from Oxford, I laughed out loud when those young men encountered Lady O,

Lady O also calls on another neighbor, the reclusive Lord Longfellow, Christian is a former soldier who is hiding away, as he received injuries that have caused facial scarring a feels that he isn't fit for society.
Lady O gains access to Christian in a rather unorthodox way, but it is effective, She also settles on two goals for herself: bring Christian out of hiding so he can live again, and see if she can guide Eugenia and Christian together.
Just the kind of challenge she loves!

I loved both Eugenia and Christian, She is kind and compassionate, but she also has spirit, Christian is a good man who believes that his future is now pretty bleak, He doesn't want to endure pity, so he locks himself away instead, Christian and Eugenia already know each other as neighbors but haven't seen each other in awhile, Sparks fly between them from the moment they meet again, I loved the encounter about the gate, Eugenia's conspiracy with Lady O, followed by the whole decorating gig,

Because Lady O is such a force, she generally gets her way, I loved her use of a small dinner party to ease Christian further out of his shell, The actions of those who attended warmed my heart with their matteroffact acceptance of Christian as he is, Each of them also does their part to pull him back into village life, Christian quickly finds himself getting more involved, no matter how he tries to avoid it,

I liked seeing the relationship develop between Christian and Eugenia, While she aches for his pain, pity isn't what she feels around him, Christian first tries pushing her away, but she won't be pushed, It also takes some additional prodding from a pintsized matchmaker, which was fun to see, There are some hairraising moments at the end when Christian discovers that he's not as useless as he thought he was.
Both he and Eugenia realize the truth of their feelings for each other,

II loved following the mystery of the missing geese, All three children really got into the spirit of trying to find out what happened to them, I enjoyed the way it gave me the opportunity to meet various people in the village and experience a little of their daily lives.
As Christmas nears and the village is without the geese for their Christmas dinners, the searchers become more determined, I loved seeing the way things came together to solve the mystery just in time,

I am looking forward to a yearly tradition of Christmas stories about Lady O and her adventures, .
