Snowbound Wedding Wishes: An Earl Beneath the Mistletoe\Twelfth Night Proposal\Christmas at Oakhurst Manor

October 15, 2012

Linked by the "snowbound for the holidays" theme, these delightful Regency-set novellas treat readers to three very different but equally engaging romances, all overflowing with warmth and an abundance of English holiday tradition. A snowstorm brings together a widowed, gently bred alewife and a major returning from the war with unexpected results in Allen's touching "An Earl Beneath the Mistletoe"; a young officer comes back to England to learn he has inherited a fortune and finds a mystery and the love of his life in Lucy Ashford's charming "Twelfth Night Proposal"; and a couple separated for a decade rekindle their love at a holiday family gathering in Joanna Fulford's heartwarming reunion story, "Christmas at Oakhurst Manor." VERDICT The spirit of the holidays shines through brilliantly, and the snow plays its part in this captivating, rewarding anthology that would be a worthy addition to historical romance collections.
