An anthologies of stories with a common thread: they all take place during The Duke of Greystoke’s Christmas Revelry.
Historical romances are always a hit or miss with me and this anthology is surely a hit.
I read other stories by these authors and knew they are excellent storyteller, my expectations were high and I wasn't disappointed.
I loved all the stories as they are well plotted and the characters are interesting.
My favorite is Mistletoe Christmas as it's poignant and romantic at the same time. I couldn't help feeling for Lady Cressida, the woman behind the Revelry. Her destiny has been decided and she's not destined to marry but to keep on organising the parties.
It's an excellent depiction of what could happen to a woman in an age were they when the couldn't inherit and their father ruled their life. She will be able to change her life and find happyness.
The other stories also features women who takes their life in their hands and face changes in order to achieve happiness.
I appreciated the storytelling and how the stories worked in a novella format. The historical background is vivid and well researched.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
