Publisher Description
Welcome to a Regency Christmas like no other . . . If you loved Bridgerton, this witty, dazzling romance is for you!
During their annual Christmas pilgrimage to Scotland to visit their aged uncle in his decrepit castle, the Comte de Rocheforte and his cousin, Earl of Oakley, are presented with rather . . . unique gifts. Their Uncle is determined that his ancient (if not so honorable) birthright be secured before he dies and since neither nephew seemed in enough of a hurry to wed, the old reprobate has taken matters into his own hands . . . He's raided an English lord's Christmas party and kidnapped four lovely would-be brides for his heirs to choose from - and one very angry duke!
All in all, it's a party/kidnapping not to be missed, by bestselling Historical romance authors Eloisa James, Connie Brockway and Julia Quinn, author of Bridgerton
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Three popular grand dames of historical romance team up again (after The Lady Most Likely...) to create a charming three-part farce set in 1819 Scotland. Laird Taran Ferguson goes to great drunken lengths to kidnap four young women and John Shevington, duke of Bretton, by accident in hope of finding brides for his nephews, Byron (an English earl) and Robin (improbably, a French count). No one takes Taran seriously or feels at all endangered or coerced, but while they're all stuck in his castle waiting out a storm, romance blossoms of its own accord. Penniless, untitled Catriona Burns doubts John's interest in her, so he proves his ardor. Ruined heiress Fiona Chisholm is happily looking forward to spinsterhood until Byron awakens her desire. Lady Cecily Tarleton falls for Robin at first sight and decides to seduce him. And Marilla Chisholm, Fiona's younger sister, improbably sets her cap for hoary, hilarious Taran. Witty dialogue and good-natured, down-to-earth characters make this a nice quick historical romance fix.
