Not enough Christmas and no substance

A cute xmas novella is always nice, and I like Grey's books. They are sweet.

Here we have Lillian and Seth. And yes at first they do not really seem like a match. He is so busy protecting his nephews that he forgets they need to live too. And she is all boys should play! But they really fancy each other too. But the arguments they would have!

So yes they meet at a house party, flirt (and yes things must move fast, it is just over xmas after all). She is the Duke's sister in law, he should know better. They argue, they make up and love happily ever after. Everyone can change.

Sweet and short.

Tasty Christmas morsel

This novella was a fun and fast look at LAFS between the middle Prim sister and a stern marquis. The conflict was pretty tepid, but the chemistry was fun.

Mistletoe, Mischief, and the Marquis by Amelia Grey is a 2016 Swerve publication.


A sweet and fun holiday romance!

The title says it all. Lillian is fun and mischievous and Seth is studious and serious. When they meet at a house party, Lillian chides Seth for being too hard on his nephews and issues him a challenge, which gives her the chance to give the boys a break from all that studying they are required to do.

In the process, the two opposites discover they attract, as they tease and flirt and engage in the most delightful banter. However, despite her having fallen in love with Seth, their differences do not make them a good match…. At least in Lillian’s opinion. Can Seth change her mind?

This is a cute novella, featuring two headstrong characters who learn to compromise to make their relationship work. I love an unconventional heroine and appreciated Lillian’s upbeat positivity. She is really good for Seth and his nephews.

Seeing Seth loosen up and have a little fun was wonderful, and provided me with a few smiles. I love it when a guy rises to the occasion to win a lady’s heart and Seth’s grand gestures are very sweet and romantic.

Overall, this story really cheered me up and lightened my mood, so I can easily recommend it to everyone.

Marquis with two young wards meets a lovely lass who challenges his preconceived notions on education and parenting.

A fine story, however the Christmas aspect is completely oversold. Besides it being "Christmas time" there isn't really any other reference point. Also, those who haven't read the other titles in the series may not find much here.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC.
