Profile:
"During a rare white Christmas at Brambledean Court, the widow Elizabeth, Lady Overfield, defies convention by falling in love with a younger man in the latest novel in the Westcott series.
After her husband's passing, Elizabeth Overfield decides that she must enter into another suitable marriage. That, however, is the last thing on her mind when she meets Colin Handrich, Lord Hodges, at the Westcott Christmas house party. She simply enjoys his company as they listen to carolers on Christmas Eve, walk home from church together on Christmas morning, and engage in a spirited snowball fight in the afternoon. Both are surprised when their sled topples them into a snowbank and they end up sharing an unexpected kiss. They know there is no question of any relationship between them, for she is nine years older than he.
They return to London the following Season, both committed to finding other, more suitable matches. Still they agree to share one waltz at each ball they attend. This innocuous agreement proves to be one that will topple their worlds, as each dance steadily ensnares them in a romance that forces the two to question what they are willing to sacrifice for love. . . ."

"Someone to Trust" by Mary Balogh
My Thoughts....
I enjoyed this historical romantic fiction that featured Lady Overfield and Colin Handrich, [Lord Hodges]. With Elizabeth being a widow and nine years a senior to Colin it will be quite a interesting read how these two find their way to each other and to think they met at a family Christmas holiday. What will happen when Colin and Elizabeth start to have feelings for each other?
However, Elizabeth will accept a proposal from another Lord but after this fiancee verbally treats her badly she breaks that proposal. Why was Colin so determined to make Elizabeth his wife after all of the Society gossiping that was going on about her? Will Elizabeth give into her feeling even though Society just didn't approve of a older woman marrying a younger man?
I loved how these two kindred spirits even though this age thing that was taboo at this time were able to get beyond that situation. I will say there were quite a few relatives in this read so you will have to keep up with all that is going on. It seems like Elizabeth had some wonderful relatives and friends that were with her but it seems like for Colin, well it was quite the opposite for his family. I really didn't care for them [Colin's mom and sister] at all! Well, to get it all you will have to pick up "Someone to Trust" to see how this story will all come out. At the end I was left wondering a little about who was Colin's father. This was indeed a good read of how one must learn that trust and true feelings is what happiness is all about.
