Have you ever dreamed of a Christmas wedding?
Spinsterhood has never looked so good, but unfortunately even that won’t save Lady Juliette Brooks. Her father’s arranged a betrothal for her to a brute of a man. She has one choice left—force the Duke of Kissinger to honor a long ago promise to save her.
Grayson Abbot, the Duke of Kissinger, does not want to marry Lady Juliette. He doesn’t want to marry anyone. But he did make her a promise, and he doesn’t go back on his word… So he reluctantly agrees to run away with her.
They set off on an adventure during the Christmastide season. As they race to Scotland they experience delays, cold weather, and a friendship they’d almost forgotten about. Will Juliette finally find out what it’s like to be kissed, and in return, win the duke’s heart?
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
EEP Duke Kissinger gets hit butt kicked by love!! We met him in the last book by Amanda Mariel. He was a total rake and quite happy with his ways……silly silly man!! In this book, we see a 12 year old boy and a 9 year old girl falling into young puppy like love but due to family and situations are pulled apart.
Lady Juliette has not had a great life since her best friend left her for school. The loss of her mother and new step-mother have made life unhappy. When her scheming step-mother gets her father to agree to marry the awful Lord Payne, she runs to the only person she can trust.
The banter between the two was hilarious…I loved reading about Juliette’s desires to see the sexy Gladiators in Rome. Gray was not ok with that at all!! LOL As hard as Gray tried to push away and not acknowledge his love and desire for Juliette the harder she pushed him. When the couple sneak away they get to catch up on their lives and grow even more in love with each other.
Gray will do anything to protect his friend and love. The last 2 chapters were intense….lots of “will they be found” and “oh snap this is not good”. I gotta say I loved the series and reading the final epilogue made my heart super happy.
Dawn Brower works as a substitute teacher and enjoys the flexibility it gives her to concentrate on her other endeavors.
Growing up she was the only girl out of six children. She is a single mother of two teenage boys; there is never a dull moment in her life. Reading books is her favorite hobby. While she loves all genres she focuses most of her writing on historical and contemporary romance.
There are always stories inside her head; she just never thought she could make them come to life. That creativity has finally found an outlet.
