Celia Delacourt is in mourning for her family and has nowhere to go, when she is invited by her rich aunt, a duchess, to spend Christmas on her estate. Celia cannot decline, although she is wary and expects that the duchess has her own reasons for inviting her poor relation. When Jack, the heir, arrives, he is completely different from what Celia expected.
This is a great holiday story and I totally enjoyed it. Usually I don't really like humorous books, but this one had me chuckling and laughing out loud many times. The characters are wonderful - both the good and the bad ones - and it is simply a fun and escapist read with the right amount of swoon-worthiness and romance.
I am looking forward to reading more books by Diane Farr!

A cute book but not as good as the other book I read by this author [b:The Fortune Hunter|1377591|The Fortune Hunter (Lord Rival, #2)|Diane Farr|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328044955s/1377591.jpg|1367525]. Somehow it didn't realize its potential. It was too short and neither of the two romances felt complete to me. A lot more could have been done with the set up of having the heroine think that the hero was mad. And it felt unfinished because we never found out what happened to the plotting duchess.
Cute Christmas story.
A sweet Christmas romance.
