Marquess Felding has watched all his friends find love and wonders if he's simply not meant for the same luck — until Rosalind Valentine, a nursery maid who's secretly loved him since her schoolroom days, catches his eye in an entirely new light at a house party. A Regency Christmas romance from USA Today bestselling author Jane Charles, part of the Gentleman's Guide to Once Upon a Time series, about finding love where you least expect it and the secrets that threaten to keep two hearts apart.

His Christmas Match is book four in A Gentleman’s Guide to Once Upon A Time series by Jane Charles. His Christmas Match is also book one in The Valentine Trilogy. Charles uses the friends to lovers trope. I enjoyed the story but I found problems with editing to be quite overwhelming. There were so many misspelled words and even wrong word usage that I had a hard time focusing on the story itself. I really liked the heroine Rosalind Valentine. She is one of those gracious and loving characters that just gets into your heart. And the hero Noah the Marquess of Felding is quite the handsome hero. My biggest qualms with Charles’ books is that I never know where to start in a series. This book is actually the fourth in a series, but also the first in the Valentine Trilogy. I loathe reading a book and feeling like I am missing out on information…like I should have started with some other book out there. I wish Ms. Charles had a chronological list of books on her website to aid stubborn readers like me who like to start at the beginning and work our way through a series. Having characters from past books entwined in stories is only fun if you have read the books they are in. Otherwise, as a reader, I just feel like I am missing a huge piece of the story puzzle. I am going to continue reading in her Valentine Trilogy and hopefully, I won’t feel quite so lost.
