Christmas found Beatrice in love with a marquess. She is a remarkable lady and his lordship seems to be the love of her life. But the holy days of Christmas awakened deeply bound feelings for Jonathon, a simple friend from the past...

Lady Beatrice Whiston has despised Jonathon Foster from the first time he played a prank on her during their first Christmastide. She hasn’t seen Jonathon in the last four years, and in that time, she has made her come-out and developed a secret crush on the handsome Marquess of Trimbleford. Beatrice is set on winning over the marquess’s affections while he joins her family for Christmastide at Whistendale Estate. But the last thing Beatrice expected was her newfound attraction to Jonathon.

Jonathon Foster is the son of a baker and comes from a humble upbringing. He is reunited with Lady Beatrice during her family’s visit to Whistendale village. But Beatrice is no longer the spoiled and annoying young girl he used to play pranks on. Instead, Jonathon finds his attraction growing for Beatrice the more time they spend together.

Will Jonathon and Beatrice overcome the obstacles set in their path and get their Christmas wish of a happily ever after

*If you like engaging characters, heart-wrenching twists and turns, and lots of romance, then you’ll love ''Unforeseen Engagement During Christmas''!

4.0 out of 5 stars A prankster falls in love
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2022

This is a delightful clean regency romance written by Martha Barwood about Beatrice Whiston who has spent her childhood Christmas’ being pranked by the son, Jonathon Foster, of her father’s friend, the local baker. Beatrice’s father is the Earl of Whistendale and his friendship with the baker, Franklin Foster, dates back to their own childhood when the Earl as a young boy saved Franklin from drowning. They became friends and the Fosters shared Christmas with the Earl’s family ever since. The prologue introduces us to Beatrice at the age of 14 again being pranked by Jonathon but no one seems to think he is guilty except Beatrice is certain he is the one doing it year after year. Then the story fast forwards 4 years with Beatrice now 18 and returning to the Manor at Whistendale for the first time in that 4 year period and she dreads seeing Jonathon, or does she. Likewise, Jonathon learns the family is returning and he remembers Beatrice only as the young girl he liked to prank until he sees her for the first time after their arrival back. What does he think now? Does the son of a baker stand a chance with the daughter of an Earl? And there’s another issue, Adam Stewart, Marquess of Trimbleford, heir of the Duke of Shirwood, has also come to the Manor. Does he have plans for Beatrice too? Our author does a wonderful job of developing these characters and I believe you will love Jonathon and at times be frustrated with Beatrice and I wonder will you be able to distinguish Adam’s character out from the beginning? The book unfortunately has some grammatically issues and that’s my reason for the 4 stars over 5 but I don’t think that effects the story itself at all.
I received an ARC of this book from the author. I am voluntarily submitting my honest review.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story, but honestly don't seem to understand how these books are loaded with so very many mistakes. Names are changed which is most confusing, and the funniest mistake was when the men went to feel the tree that they had chosen for Christmas. I'm pretty sure they would need to fell it to bring it home.😂

No promised epilogue came through no matter how hard I tried. That being said I did not have access to the entire story. I will just say is is a clean read so I gave it a 3 for that

5.0 out of 5 stars Jonathon and Beatrice
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2022

This author is fairly new to me but I have enjoyed reading her books so far. In this one a reunion of two families after a number of years is showcased. Jonathon and Beatrice are the main characters and yes they have history and not all of it was good. I think it was a rather sweet romance yes it had its ups and downs. I did like the characters and poor Beatrice has so many self doubt and worries and toward the end of the book I felt rather sorry for her. The ending was fun and it put a smile on my face. Why is it that little boys like to pull pranks on those they like? I had three boys and they could be little demons at times with pulling pranks on each other and on the little girls that they liked. A fun book to read I recommend it.
