Mini-Review/The Bottom Line: Annabelle Lippencott is every bit the lady I have come to expect from the Brazen Brides and I loved every minute of her story. For ten years, Annabelle has pined for a man she believes left her shortly after declaring his intention to marry her. Spencer Woodruff has spent the last decade blaming Annabelle for his broken heart and inability to move on with his life. Though his career and social standing have certainly improved, his personal life hasn’t and that’s because Annabelle left him for another. Thrown together over Christmas is not what either expected and though the going is rough in the beginning, all the dirty laundry is eventually aired and an HEA is in order. As always, I fell right into Bolen’s Brazen Brides world and loved every second of my too-brief time there. I always enjoy the inclusion of characters from the rest of the world and those old friends were in high attendance in this holiday novella. In all, A Birmingham Family Christmas is another excellent addition and extension of the Brazen Brides world.
