- Synopsis
- &“Eight romance authors walk into a Regency-era ballroom and wreak fabulous, shimmering holiday mischief all over the place.&”—Publishers WeeklyChristmas 1815. Upstairs and downstairs, Holbourne Abbey is abuzz with preparations for a grand ball to celebrate the year&’s most festive—and romantic—holiday. For at the top of each guest&’s wish list is a last chance to find true love before the New Year . . . &“The tales are rather sentimental, a box of chocolates with sweet, soft centers inside a dark covering, a pleasant confection for the holiday season. My personal favorites are Anne Gracie&’s &‘Mistletoe Kisses,&’ a charming variant on the Cinderella story, and Susan King&’s &‘A Scottish Carol,&’ whose lovers must struggle to find healing for the wounds of self-doubt and past failures; but there is ample variety here for other tastes. Recommended for lovers of Regency romances.&”—Historical Novel Society &“In this wonderful collection of eight short stories, Christmas in the Regency world is brought to life in extraordinary fashion, with love, secrets, scoundrels and heroes of every description.&”—Fresh Fiction &“If what you are looking for is a set of short stories with a common location and holiday feel that are well done, quick to read, and entertaining then this will be a book for you . . . one of the best historical romance collections I&’ve read in a long time.&”—Smexy Books &“Each author&’s unique style and storytelling talents are at their best, gifting readers one scrumptious treat after another . . . glowing with the joy and romance of the yuletide.&”—RT Book Reviews (4 Stars)
