A planned wedding and disaster strikes-a freak snowstorm, an accident, and a possible delay. The story is a clean, historical regency tale on Christmas Eve, 1834, in Southern Derbyshire, England. Per the author's notes at the end of the story, this story was initially written in 2012 but has been altered, added a subplot, an additional scene, and new editing. This review can also be found on my blog, Bitches n Prose. Thank you to author Amber Daulton for my copy of this novella. I probably would have just delayed the wedding after the first or second snag in the plans. (I know that others can't stand the snow, but winter is my favorite time of year.) I normally don't fancy historical fiction, but thought the characters seemed likable enough and I have to admire Susanna's tenacity. The writing was fluid and well described, and in the sweltering heat of Illinois in July, it made me miss the chilly winter season. Overall, this was a well paced short story about love and dedication. The obstacles just keep coming, but come hell or high water, their love will persevere and the wedding will take place, if Susanna has anything to say about it! With the winter snow piling up, everything seems to be put on pause, from the arrival of her guests and dress to the courtyard that she'd initially wanted to utilize. Only, nature and fate don't seem to be on her side.
Susanna Lorican wanted nothing more than to finally marry the love of her life, one Viscount Camden Beckinworth.
