Summary
 The heartwarming historical novel from Sunday Times bestseller, Dilly Court

It’s Christmas Eve. Flurries of snow fall on the cobbled streets of Whitechapel and an abandoned baby, swaddled in a blanket, is found on a doorstep in Angel Lane . . .

Named after the street on which she was found, Angel Winter was blessed to be taken from the harsh streets into a loving home. But fate deals a cruel blow and she’s torn from the only family she has ever known, and thrown onto the cobbles of Covent Garden to fend for herself.

With winter closing in, Angel scratches a living selling mistletoe to the City gentlemen who pass through the market, hoping they will take pity on her as she shivers in the snow. The only way she can survive is to make her own luck. She will never sell the one treasure that could feed her for a month, the gold and ruby ring that was hidden in her swaddling – it could hold the key to the secrets of her past . . .

I loved the first two books I read by this author but I didn’t enjoy this one as much. Angel keeps being nice and understanding to her aunt and Susannah even though they have been nasty and degraded her for years. Then when she’s given a house she’s ready to sell it to save the mansion for their family. Doing this could have deprived her own friends and herself of a home and security. She talked about the possibility of having to go to the workhouse despite having an extremely rich brother who adores her. It read like the author tried too hard to make her a brave heroine. They were silly choices. Another issue was there wasn’t a building romance throughout the story, it didn’t occur until almost at the end. It was the heroine’s solo journey. A happy ending wasn’t enough to make the story satisfying.

A nice story but with issues.
