Lady Jenny’s Christmas Portrait

Windham Series, Book 8

By: Grace Burrowes

Narrated by: James Langton

For Christmas, soft-spoken Lady Jenny Windham craves the freedom to pursue her artistic ambitions, though it will mean scandalizing her ducal parents and abandoning all hope of a family of her own. She confides her plans to successful artist Elijah Harrison when he's commissioned to paint a portrait of her small nephews, because assisting Elijah will bring Jenny that much closer to her heart's desire - won't it? Elijah Harrison finds in his unlikely assistant not only an inspiring muse and unappreciated talent, but also a lovely and passionate woman. If Elijah supports Jenny's career, his own professional interests will suffer, but more significantly, he will lose Jenny forever. Both Jenny and Elijah must choose between true love and a lifelong dream. Contains mature themes.

Critic reviews

"Embraces the spirit of Christmas and the power of love to draw families together...the well-told story is elevated by warmth and intimacy." ( Publishers Weekly)

Fun series

This is a great series with a little history, romance and family drama. Always a sucker for a happy ending.

Weak female character

It wasn’t a well constructed story. The female was weak and the male was too accommodating I just didn’t like the story and the female voice came off whiny.

Great series

I love the Wyndham series all the kids all their grandkids I like that, everybody in everyone.

Just what I needed

This has everything I love from a historical romance. The story of two unusual characters with loving family’s that don’t show it the best way until almost too late. Great narration, highly recommend.

Way Too Many Sexual Overtones For A Regency Style Historical Romance

I found the premise for this novel interesting and enjoyable at first. But it became increasingly more sexual, and it wasn't to my liking for that reason.. I prefer clean romances that don't have long, drawn out sensual or sexual scenes.. But almost the entire last half of the book is loaded with it. So I stopped listening a bit less than halfway through.
