Ride the Winter Wind

By Christina Kingston and Aamna Qureshi

A former prisoner, Major Guy Michael Mathers, fifth Viscount Kantwell wants only to spare the world from his troublesome nightmares. But how can he know that as he rides through the blizzard - back to the confines of his estate - he might find just what he needs to make life worth living: someone who needs him . . . Lady Alissa Alana Collington is in quite a bind. To escape the clutches of her unscrupulous uncle, she has decided to hazard the storm - only to get her carriage caught in an icy ditch. But when the handsome Kantwell comes to her aid, he may be just the man she needs to prevail over her family - and just the man she desires to one day start her own . . .

Customer Reviews

An excellent choice for first historical romance

As I sell books online, I'm in the habit of picking up the ones I find in good condition. Sometimes, there's a book I can't seem to list, and this was one of them. I don't usually read historical romances, so this was my first, and I loved it. I read the first four chapters in my first sitting, which told me this was a good book! But the suspense and the characters and the plot drew me to the very end. I highly recommend it and I plan to seek out other books by Christina Kingston.

a almost perfect regency tale...

This is the first book I've read from this author, and I plan on reading her other books after this. Miss Kingston has a true talent for evoking the regency period and spinning a heartfelt, emotional tale. The hero is a gallant officer, one of a group of British heroes called the "Lucky 7". He sustains a wound to his arm that paralyzes it, and unfortunately, paralyzes any zest he has for life. Until a fateful meeting with a beautiful, though not uncourageous, damsel in distress. Through Alissa and her family, the hero finds that life is truly worth living. Well thought out dialogue, a more mature aspect to this period (no flighty teenage hoydens here), and gently written but thought provoking love scenes make this an enjoyable book. I'd give this book 4 and 3/4 stars instead of 5 simply because the villianous uncle should have been made to meet his maker but receives a punishment much too nice for him, IMO. Otherwise 5 stars!

Great news

"Ride the Winter Wind" by Christina Kingston was a finalist for the prestigeous Holt Medallion. Chris felt truly honored. I know her readers will be pleased, too.

Ride the Winter Wind

This was a great book! A must-read! A keeper!

A Real Keeper!

I loved this hero (and heroine) from the start! Though neither is perfect they both have needs that only the other can fulfill - and scars that only genuine love and complete acceptance can heal. Add to that a mystery set in historic England with just the right touch of murder and mayhem, and you have the perfect novel. Like I said, a "real keeper."
