His Last Christmas Gift by Debra Borchert #Review

    His Last Christmas Gift by Debra Borchert will take you to a different country and season. It was published by Le Vin Press on 1st November 2025. Widowed, fired, and 50, Claire is one hot mess. This later in life romance hits like a snowball packed with grief and hope and mystery and the kind of second-chance that says, “I didn’t think I’d ever feel this again, and now I’m terrified, but… Hi.” Romance that’s frost melting off a windowpane. It’s “I forgot my heart could do this.” It’s love doesn’t have an expiration date. Twinkly lights, mulled wine and flaming crêpes so immerse you in Christmas markets—you’ll book a flight to France before the fares go up. A book club fiction favourite, Claire’s journey of self-discovery is perfect for fans of women’s fiction and stories about strong women over 50 navigating reinvention with inspiration, humour, with a delicious frosting of romance. “Give yourself the gift of a lush, romantic, French adventure and be swept away ...

The Disgraced Knight's Redemption by Ella Matthews #Review TheKnightsMissionsSeriesBook3



 


 The Disgraced Knight's Redemption, the third in Ella Matthews' series, The Knight's Missions,was published by Harlequin Historicals on October 23rd. 

 

A disgraced warrior…

Torn between duty and desire!

Sir Tristan must win back his honor. His orders from King Edward are simple: seek out the leader of Pwll Du Castle—the unmarried Lady Catrin—and demand she leaves. As Tristan is renowned for his lethal charm and handsome looks, how can she resist? But when the beautiful Welshwoman comes under siege from her covetous neighbor, Tristan finds himself fighting for her! Yet, is it a losing battle? For securing the castle and fulfilling his knightly duty will mean letting Catrin go…


 My Thoughts

This medieval romance can easily be read as a standalone. You are taken to medieval Wales where Sir Tristan has been tasked by the King to remove Lady Catrin from her position in charge of Pwll Du Castle. You sense from the start his loyalty to his fellow Knights and how he has been trained to follow the chivalrous code they all live by. When Sir Tristan meets Lady Catrin he realises that this is going to be no easy task. She is determined and courageous and has the loyalty and affection of the inhabitants of the Castle.

    Sir Tristan is torn between fulfilling his quest given by the King and helping Lady Catrin to repel ambitious neighbours. You are shown daily life in the Castle and grasp the tense atmosphere they all live in as they struggle to hold on. The place of women seems to be a secondary one to men in the eyes of most but Lady Catrin shows herself to be a decisive and loved leader. This is an emjoyable  journey back to the medieval tomes with both action, and romance.

In short: torn between love and duty
