This is such a sweet story in many ways, suggesting aversion and contention as obstacles when the real ones are societal. It can still be true today, in different ways. There's a line that made me laugh, it's so perfect, though you might be struck by another part. And that's the magic of stories, and why we need so many. We won't all like every story. I liked this one, very much. ( ) This holiday farce is a full-on Onion article (Area Man Loosens His Cravat For First Time In Whole Life, Witnesses Report). It starts with a bad idea for a Christmas present (murder bird) and only escalates from there. Yet as much as the promise of a fresh disaster every few pages was a fun aspect of the story, what really won me over was the fact that these two shared so much chemistry and were great together and everybody, even they, could see it. A delightful Regency romance all around! This was such a fun little novella and if you haven’t read any of this author’s stories before, I think you should give this prequel to the other books, a chance. The Blackshear family is interesting, intriguing and vastly amusing. I liked Andrew, the oldest Blackshear brother so much. Talk about a gentleman! He is one of those hero’s that you can’t help but like. He is so prim and proper, so “starched” that being in his mind I just couldn’t help but chuckle through the whole book. And then we have Lucy. Lucy, Lucy, Lucy! She was a perfect counterpart to Andrew and no matter what he may have thought of her actions, he just couldn’t help but like her. Ms. Grant is one of those authors that creates characters that even though they come to us from 200 years ago, you can’t help but identify with them. I highly recommend it and especially now that you can grab it for FREE! Melanie for b2b Complimentary copy provided by the publisher no reviews | add a review

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SIMPLE...With one more errand to go--the purchase of a hunting falcon--Andrew Blackshear has Christmas completely under control. As his sister's impending marriage signals the inevitable drifting-apart of the Blackshear family, it's his last chance to give his siblings the sort of memorable, well-planned holiday their parents could never seem to provide.He has no time to dawdle, no time for nonsense, and certainly no time to drive the falconer's vexing, impulsive, lush-lipped, midnight-haired daughter to a house party before heading home. So why the devil did he agree to do just that?IT COULDN'T BE MORE DELICIOUSLY MIXED-UP...Lucy Sharp has been waiting all her too-quiet life for an adventure, and she means to make the most of this one. She's going to enjoy the house party as no one has ever enjoyed a house party before, and in the meanwhile she's going to enjoy every minute in the company of amusingly stern, formidably proper, outrageously handsome Mr. Blackshear. Let him disapprove of her all he likes--it's not as though they'll see each other again after today....or will they? When a carriage mishap and a snowstorm strand the pair miles short of their destination, threatening them with scandal and jeopardizing all their Christmas plans, they'll have to work together to save the holiday from disaster. And along the way they just might learn that the best adventures are the ones you never would have thought to plan. No library descriptions found. |
