Diana B. (AuntDi) -
Christmas Anthology
The Christmas Duchess by Christina Merrill
Best of the bunch. Exceptionally likable characters, lots of Christmas atmosphere, older than normal hero and heroine. My first read by this author and Ill look for more.
Russian Winter Nights by Linda Skye
Depressing insta-lust story, somewhat open-ended, never really connected with the characters. Not much Christmas spirit either. Doesn't fit well with the other stories.
A Shocking Proposition by Elizabeth Rolls
Nice story, plot would have been better suited to a longer treatment as there were issues unexplored and it overall would have benefited from more tension. Sympathetic characters and Christmas celebrations made it a good holiday read.
Overall - light and fun, a good add to your Christmas reading list.
