Publisher Description
From
four beloved writers—Eloisa James, Christi Caldwell, Janna MacGregor, and Erica
Ridley—come four original stories that tell a hilarious tale of a Christmas house party that serves up love
and scandal in equal measure!
The
Duke of Greystoke’s Christmas Revelry is famous throughout the British Isles
for its plays, dancing, magical grotto… not to mention scandals leading to the
marriage licenses he hands out like confetti.
But
not everyone welcomes a visit from Cupid.
Lady
Cressida, the duke’s daughter, is too busy managing the entertainments—and
besides, her own father has called her dowdy. Her cousin, Lady Isabelle
Wilkshire, is directing Cinderella and has no interest in marriage. Lady
Caroline Whitmore is already (unhappily) married; the fact that she and her
estranged husband have to pretend to be together just makes her dread the party
all the more. But not as much as Miss Louisa Harcourt, whose mother
bluntly tells her that this is her last chance to escape the horrors of being
an old maid.
A
house party so large that mothers lose track of their charges leads to a
delightful, seductive quartet of stories that you will savor for the Season!
Customer Reviews
Mistletoe Christmas
I read a lot by two of these authors and am happy to have found two more I enjoy.
Tedious At Best
It doesn’t matter who or how famous the authors may be this book was tedious at best.
3.5-4 Stars!
3.5-4 Stars! Cute book to read around the holiday season! This is 4 novellas in one book. Each story takes place at the same Christmas house party so they are semi connected, although they can be read as standalone, and they all have HEA endings, which are my favorite endings! Thankfully, there are NO CLIFFHANGERS in this book.
The first novella in this book is ‘A Mistletoe Kiss’ by Eloisa James. Cressida and Elias’ story - 2.5 Stars!
The second novella was ‘Wishing Under the Mistletoe’ by Christi Caldwell. Isabelle and Cyrus’ tale - 3.5 Stars!
Third was ‘Compromise Under the Mistletoe’ by Janna MacGregor. Caroline and Stephens novella - 4 Stars!
Last but not least was ‘Mischief and Mistletoe’ by Erica Ridley. Louisa and Ewans story - 4 Stars!
I did enjoy reading these novellas but I didn’t find the characters all that likable and they weren’t very memorable. Other than that though, I liked the stories.
Relationship advice I learned from this book is - Communication!! Communicate with one another and skip all the misunderstandings.
