Summary
The heart is deceitful above all things。 Who can understand it？
When Juliana Issot’s godmother invites her to spend the month of Christmas for a house party in Yorkshire， Juliana feels compelled by affection to accept。 Never mind that she escaped Yorkshire at first chance to secure a more glittering match in London， and the only matrimonial prospect at home is her childhood playmate， Willelm。
Willelm Armitage is a born and bred Yorkshireman， and as far as he is concerned， Juliana belongs here， too—and at his side。 However， the one time he tried to convince her of this， she speedily gave him the right-about， making him question whether she truly was the right choice for him。 After all， if she cannot see how well they suit， he is not about to force her hand。
A Christmas house party with pudding， games， charades， riding， and carols turns out to be just the thing to remind Juliana of how much she loves Yorkshire。 But when her nostalgia slips into love will she be able to admit that Willelm knew the longings of her heart better than she knew her own？

Juliana and Willelm were childhood friends。 Eventually he wanted her to be his wife， but she wanted more。 A couple years later things seem much the same， but maybe a month-long house party can change everything。It took me a while to warm up to Juliana。 She initially struck me as haughty。 However， she later made a gesture that was both vulnerable and sweet。 Willelm's stubbornness frustrated me， especially when it let to some misunderstandings。 Still， this couple seemed well suited to each other。 Juliana and Willelm were childhood friends。 Eventually he wanted her to be his wife， but she wanted more。 A couple years later things seem much the same， but maybe a month-long house party can change everything。It took me a while to warm up to Juliana。 She initially struck me as haughty。 However， she later made a gesture that was both vulnerable and sweet。 Willelm's stubbornness frustrated me， especially when it let to some misunderstandings。 Still， this couple seemed well suited to each other。 。。。more

I thoroughly enjoyed this childhood friend to lovers tale。 The fact that it is woven in with the other books of this series through letters of lady friends playing matchmaker is added fun。 I love history and so was delighted to read of Yorkshire Christmas traditions as well as parlor games of the time。 One of my favorite parts was how the author made a Christmas carol have such a significant impact to the outcome。 This lovely story will definitely bring the Christmas spirit to your heart！

A delightful Christmas story。 Set in wintery Yorkshire， amidst Christmas carols and games， Willelm and Juliana test the depths of their long friendship。 I enjoyed Willelm’s character most of all in the story， as he is a true friend and confidant， concerning himself with the happiness of others more than himself。 It took Juliana a bit longer than I liked to realize her feelings， but I enjoyed her outspoken nature。 Jennie Goutet is a gifted writer and I recommend her books。

I loved this book！ What a great storyline。 I was captivated throughout。 I was glad to read a story set outside of the usual places and to learn about the traditions of the times！ It was fun to try and figure out what the locals were saying but was very grateful the translation came afterwards！！ I loved getting to know the characters better and loving them all。 I can’t wait for more books in this series。
