Julies one night under the mistletoe by Laurie Benson

A former lover, the handsome lord Montague and a marriage of convenience what's not to love. When juliet and monty are cought trapped in a room together they have no other option but to get married. However juliet and monty have a past. Although they both still have hidden feelings for each other can juliet ever forgive and trust monty again.

I really enjoyed these short stories. It is my first time reading anything from all 3 off the authors. If I had to choose a fravourite it would be juliet one night under the mistletoe. The way Laurie Benson writes drew me in more and her story was the one I couldn't put down. I loved the chemistry between juliet and monty.

I would definitely recommend this book. If like myself you are new to there work then short stories like these are perfect. After reading juliets one night under the mistletoe I then went and ordered more byou Laurie Benson as I enjoyed her writting so much.

It's just not the holidays without new Regency Christmas stories, especially when they're offered by veteran authors.
