Promise Me Christmas is at Still Moments Magazine

 Monday Mood - Promise Me Christmas

Are you in the mood for a medieval Christmas where love must battle the storm? As war closes in on Darkenwald Castle, one woman’s holiday wish becomes a fight for her family’s future. We recommend, Promise me Christmas by Gini Rifkin, which received a five star review from Still Moments Magazine.

Book Title: Promise Me Christmas 
Release Date: 2023 

Teaser: “I approve of your bold attire, my lady. Such beauty warms more than the cockles of this weary warrior’s heart.” 

Their castle under siege, their passion denied at every turn, will they survive to celebrate Yule together? 

The nights are growing longer and the winter snows are coming—Darkenwald Castle is under siege. 

  Lord Guy Blackthorne is prepared to lay down his life for his children, his wife, and all who seek his protection. But as renegades, mercenaries, and political intrigue surround his ancient family stronghold, he’s forced to stay his hand against those who would dare to attack his fortress. 
  As supplies and hope dwindle, Lady Vespa fears Yule will not be one of good cheer, and the children shall have no gifts this year. At least she and Guy have one another, for that she is thankful. But there are few private moments to share their love, and every endeavor to satisfy their passion is interrupted when the enemy attempts to invade the castle. 
   On Christmas Eve, when a battle to the death begins, Guy faces his greatest challenge. Now Vespa’s wish for a happy Yule celebration turns to a prayer for her beloved’s safety.

 Promise Me Christmas is a Medieval sensuous heat level romance, with a dollop of history and adventure, and a respectful nod to PTSD. With Castle Darkenwald under siege, and an enemy housed within, my characters must work together to survive, yet they are able find a bit of humor along the way. As an added twist, my hero and heroine are already married, but their love and passion for one another has only grown stronger since saying “I do”.  As Yule approaches they must outsmart the enemy attempting to take over the castle. And when a battle to the death ensues, Lady Vespa’s hope for a festive holiday, turns to a prayer for the safety of her beloved.

5 Stars/Mistress of Book Reviews Promise Me Christmas is a heartwarming story of love and honor and keeping one’s promise, all wrapped in a medieval adventure sprinkled with humor and sweet romantic moments.

5+ Stars N.N. Light/I love medieval romance and this medieval holiday romance spoke to my heart. Brilliant from start to finish, Promise Me Christmas took my breath away. The descriptive narration is poignant and draws the reader into the story. The setting is historically accurate. The world-building is immersive. The characters, though, are what make Promise Me Christmas a book worth reading this holiday season. Even with the threat of war, their love is unwavering. I can honestly confess it’s a gem and a reread. 

5 Stars Between /The Pages
This medieval historical romance was a captivating read. I enjoyed the twist of having the main characters married. Their lives were already intertwined, but during war-filled times, they had to always be prepared to defend their home and livelihood, which created a distance they longed to fill. The plot and characters were well-developed, giving the story a smooth reading flow. The author has a great descriptive voice that places you in the scenes. Guy listening and taking Vespa’s ideas into consideration on how to help defeat the enemy shows his love, devotion, and respect for his wife, which strengthens their relationship, and makes this story a perfect holiday read. I highly recommend picking up a copy of this book.
