âEight romance authors walk into a Regency-era ballroom and wreak fabulous, shimmering holiday mischief all over the place.â â Publishers Weekly Christmas 1815. Upstairs and downstairs, Holbourne Abbey is abuzz with preparations for a grand ball to celebrate the yearâs most festiveâand romanticâholiday. For at the top of each guestâs wish list is a last chance to find true love before the New Year . . . âThe 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 Gracieâs âMistletoe Kisses,â a charming variant on the Cinderella story, and Susan Kingâs âA Scottish Carol,â 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.ââHistorical Novel Society âIn 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.ââFresh Fiction âIf 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 Iâve read in a long time.ââSmexy Books âEach authorâs 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.ââRT Book Reviews (4 Stars)
