I would have liked a little something more and for the Duke to have transcended the social class boundaries earlier; I didn’t feel a whole lot of chemistry and there was very little steam, but it was a worthwhile story.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC copy.

I think the narrator really made this book, she was just so delightfully enthusiastic.

I would definitely like to listen to the rest of the series, especially if they have the same narrator.

I think the one thing that bugged me was not knowing how the name of the village is spelled, since it's not included in the blurb! With something like that, that's obviously very similar to "Christmas" but not that, it'd be nice to know what it's actually called.

Overall, a light-hearted Christmas-themed romance.
