Miss Lottie’s Christmas Protector is a M&B Historical romance written by Sophia James. Victorian romance set in the seedier parts of London, Lottie Fairclough is the determined heroine. Slightly (very) infatuated with the hero, Jasper King, she is determined that her elder sister, Amelia, will not have marry a man she dislikes and also find her elder brother, Silas, last heard of setting sail for America to find his fortune! She works at the Fairclough Foundation with her mother as they try to help poor women and children out of poverty. Jasper has just recovered from a terrible accident that left him addicted to laudanum. He has managed to kick his addiction but he is concerned his injuries will eventually lead him into having to use a wheelchair. Lottie seeks him out as he potentially will be able to find her brother as they are both engineers plus she hopes to persuade him to marry her sister.
Lottie and James have an instant attraction but Hanes is resolute that he will stay single as he fears no one will be able to cope with him when he is consumed with pain. He helps Lottie track down one of the girls from the Foundation who had disappeared. Will they find their HEA?
I found this an interesting read. Not just a romance it also touches on the social and economic problems of the era and there is an element of mystery with the disappearance of Lottie’s friend.
I received this book via Netgalley and Mills and Boon in exchange for a honest review. I am a #MillsAndBoonInsider #netgalley
