As usual, Ms. Balogh managed to get my emotional buy-in - there were actual tears. Twice. I didn't like Eleanor all the time - she jumped to conclusions and wouldn't TALK to Randolph. Fortunately, Randolph was prepared to compromise - in fact, he was the one who initiated detente almost the whole time. But, other than my occasional annoyance with Ellie, I really enjoyed the book. It's nice to see it back in print! ( )

Excellent story with well-developed characters. Lots of narrative but still interesting; you really understood the thoughts and feelings of both the hero and heroine. A keeper. ( )

I agree that this is a beautifully written book. Many of Balogh’s earlier and very good novels are light on dialogue but very heavy on introspection and internal monologues. In this book, where the hero and heroine are thrown together and develop an unwilling attraction, this lets us see their feelings develop and uses their sharp words toward each other sparingly.

Book description
From back cover:

Weddings are supposed to be joyous occasions---especially when a couple seems as well matched as Randolph Pierce, Earl of Falloden, and his bride-to-be, Eleanor Transome. Ellie brings to the marriage a vast dowry, while Falloden, though distant, is handsome, tremendously desirable, and possessed of a title most young ladies can only dream of sharing.

Yet Ellie is not most young ladies, She knows that she must honor her dear father's dying wish for her to wed the proud earl, but she dreads a lifetime in a union without love---and how can Falloden claim to love her when he married her only for her fortune? As Christmas descends upon the Falloden manor, the warmth of the season may yet melt away the trappings of duty and wealth, leaving behind only a man and a woman destined for each other's arms.
Haiku summary

No descriptions found.

Eleanor Transome's wealthy father was determined that she wed a nobleman she did not love. Lord Randolph Falloden, on the brink of ruin and an arrogant earl who is unable to resist the lure of cold cash, could not refuse, although he did not love her either. The match is destined to take place, but there is a surprise in store for them both after the nuptials.… (more)
