IF ONLY THEY WOULDN'T KEEP FALLING IN LOVE WITH ME.Weary of war and diplomatic wandering, Leander Knollis, Earl of Charrington, wants a home, a wife, and a good old-fashioned English Christmas. As he seems unable to fall in love, however, he will only consider a marriage of convenience to a sensible woman. He is beginning to despair when he encounters the perfect candidate, a woman so devoted to her late husband's memory that no one thinks she could ever love again....CHRISTMAS IS COMING, AND THE CUPBOARD IS BARE.Judith Rossiter is in no position to turn down the astonishing proposal, but it worries her. Why would an earl, and a most attractive one at that, offer marriage to an impoverished widow with two young children? At least his main condition should be easy enough to fulfill. After the folly of Judith's first marriage, a sensible rather than a sentimental union is exactly what she wants. Or so she believes when she says her vows..."A beautifully complex love story that will become a treasured addition to every Regency connoisseur's shelf."-Romantic Times

This is an atypical Regency romance for Beverley or so I've read. I was really happy to find that the whole woman as possession was tone down to a whisper in this book. Both Leander and Judith are longing for a marriage based on honesty, friendship and the desire to make a home. Judith has been nick...
I couldn't understand why an Earl would want a widow with two children either. Judith is a nice enough woman, but seriously, an earl? I marked this okay because I didn't like the characters as much.
