Description de l’éditeur
It was Christmas and the Davenport sisters found themselves alone, without even a dour-faced maid to supervise them. Instead they were expected to obey strict puritanical devotions. But this year the elder, flame-haired Gillian boldly decided that it was high time the sisters let their hair down a little bit. So with the help of a kindly relation, the two daring misses exchanged their usual somber (and considered proper) attire for more modish gowns and hairstyles that would surely have given their parents apoplexy!
It was to be a memorable year and a Christmas rich in plum pudding, eggnog, carols, and a most breathtaking tree. The Davenport sisters reveled in the rituals of Christmas as well as in the selection of handsome gentlemen who had come to help celebrate the festivities.
So it was that it was this year that Gillian was caught under the mistletoe by Lord Ranger Marden. She then discovered things her mother had never dreamed of telling her.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Beaton's sixth romance in her Regency series, the puritanical Davenport sisters opt to ditch their pious ways and indulge in a footloose and fancy-free Christmas celebration complete with all the holiday trimmings. But when faced with a host of handsome suitors, Gillian Davenport soon finds herself under the mistletoe with Lord Ranger Marden. This charming tale will appeal to fans of the genre, but Nettleton's narration will put a smile on any anyone's face while infusing the listener with the holiday spirit. Nettleton's enjoyable performance is well paced and replete with unique voices for the author's colorful characters. And while her performance can be over the top at points, this audio edition is certainly festive and fun. A Fawcett paperback.
