After her father and brother disappeared, Lady Jane Lennox is managing Bellhaven Castle. Nonetheless, her aunt has invited six suitors to compete for the right to her hand - and to protect Bellhaven's towers of cool, pink-gray stone. Among the six is Nicholas Kincaid, the one-time object of Jane's affection. Two years ago, her brother banished Nicholas. A mere "sir," in want of title or land, Nicholas was not marriage material. Now, Nicholas will have the chance to compete in challenges of wit and skill, rather than heraldry. But against noble swordsmen, dancers, and charmers, can he possibly win back her heart? The six highland lairds could not ride sooner to the snowy bailey walls, as strange things keep happening to the family: a faulty carriage wheel, a loose step, high in a stone tower. Accidents, no doubt. But by Christmastide, Lady Jane will secure Bellhaven and choose a new love.

Yeah, it was a little cheesy and it did smack of the bachelorette but it was still kind of cute and silly. I do get tired af all the drama in all the romance novels all the time so this was sort of a nice change.
I did like all the players: Lady Margaret, Nicholas, Jane, Colin, David, Jules, Hollister and, eventually, Bryce.
And there was the mystery of who was trying to kill Jane. I KNOW that none of you readers can honestly say you saw that coming!
The only part I was really bothered by was that after Jane "slept" with Nicholas twice she still insisted on going on with the competition and left him wondering if she would choose him. I thought that was a little rediculous.

As to the narrator: I know a lot of you think Ms. Flosnik is "oh, so wonderful" but I can only see her as barely ok. She doesn't have much emotion when she reads and she kinda' sucks at the men's voices. They all sound alike and all gravelly when they talk. I don't mind that they all sound alike but I hate the gravelly sound she gives them. Maybe it's because it makes them all sound like old men. I'am glad that Justine Eyre is reading the next book.

An OK read..

Russell is a very visual author. She builds up a world that you could easily step into. Each and every aspect is intricately put together without detracting from the fast forward pace of the story proper. She draws you into this captivating world and draws you along for a captivating ride. Romance, mystery, and intrigue abound keeping you guessing and thinking throughout. I could barely put this one down.

I loved the characters in this novel. The panel of bachelors brought in to this story are all captivating and breathtaking in their own manner. I also appreciated how the main character isn’t perfect. She attempts to be who others want her to be rather than herself. That said, she is intrinsically a good person who wants what’s best for those around her. Watching her journey of self-discovery is priceless.

Overall, think the bachelorette with a historical & suspsenseful twist. Well worth the read any time of year.

So, this was a cute little story. It wasn’t anything more than that. One woman and six men in competition for a marriage that came with money and property. Basically all the men turned out to be good guys but she only liked one from the beginning, so it really wasn’t that interesting. There were parts in it that were funny and parts in it that was sweet, and so it kept me entertained. The narrators voice was mostly OK, sometime she got annoying . Especially when it was an action or intense scene. Also, the book was too PG for me.

I gave it 4 stars because of the two sex scenes that I could really do without. They were too long and I was anxious to get on with the rest of the story. But over all it's a very good interesting story.

2nd reading add'l review:
The plot was very good. Near the end, however, the heroin spent too much time trying to save someone who hated her and didn't want to be saved thus almost losing her own life. I enjoyed the different tasks. I liked the characters.

A very good interesting story

Bachelorette in historical Scotland....very different start to a book...6 suitors...how could a girl choose?

Loved this book, because it was so different from most that I have read recently. The storyline with six suitors competing to be Lady Jane's husband. There was excitement, danger, & love.

I enjoyed all the characters and hope to see all of them in future books. The plot and characters were really well developed.

Buy this book...it's really inexpensive and save your credits for more expensive books.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Good story despite Ann Flosnik. Does her father own an audio company, mob ties,...?

What other book might you compare A Laird for Christmas to and why?

I think for this genre the plot was very unique. Must marry plots aplenty, yet this one stands out.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Yes

Was A Laird for Christmas worth the listening time?

this book was a bit long winded for me. it's a complete slow burn but once it got going it really had my hooked trying to figure out who Jane would pick and why was behind all the treachery. I'll admit though the author almost lost my with the whole "cousin" thing. 🤮 all in all.. glad I stuck with it.

the drama never ends

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The story was well written with a totally different theme than most of the highland romance books. It had just enough twists and turns and a little steamy love....could have been a little more for my taste...however, I would recommend this to anyone. The narrator did a wonderful job on the narration.

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK

Loved listening to this one. Characters were well developed. The twist of another child was unexpected.
