Detective Rudyard "Ruddy" Bloodstone is ready for the holiday season and he wants to spend it with his new lady love, actress Honeysuckle Flowers. But at this time actresses are generally not well received and considered a lower class than many but Ruddy swears his parents are different.

Will Ruddy's family accept Honeysuckle with open arms or will he have to choose between his heart and his home?

This was a good story and I really enjoyed it.

I always laugh when a character says that their parents or whomever will be different as you know it isn't going to turn out that way. It was super interesting to see the turn in his family and how they viewed Ruddy's own career.

I really liked Honeysuckle although I must admit that I preferred her real name and could understand why people would wonder with a stage name like that. That being said she was such an awesome character with a big heart who was ready to forgive things she shouldn't have had to.

I loved her gesture towards the end to Mrs.Lyons to honor the dead!

I was glad that Lily recognized her mistake at the end!
