Fun Christmas Anthology (2/2 people found this helpful)
This is a collection of three Mills & Boon Christmas tales all set during a festive season of the Regency.
A Soldier's Tale by Elizabeth Rolls
Dominic, Viscount Alderley has recently returned from war and is expected by his family to marry a prim little heiress. But when he returns home it's his cousin Pippa that draws his attention and seems like the only one who is willing to overlook his scars.
Essentially this is a pleasant story with an enjoyable cast of characters. Dominic is a rake who is surprised to fall in love with Pippa - while Pippa is a Cinderella type character who has always been in love with Dominic. The story is sweet but despite being set over the festive period, it's not very Christmassy.
A Winter Night's Tale by Deborah Hale
Christabel Wilton is expecting a cold and lonely Christmas with her young son when the man she jilted many years ago comes back into her life. As he helps her through an illness and they start to spend the festive season together, they soon realise that things may be better second time around.
This tale is well-written and with slightly more Christmas content than the first story. The characters were fine if maybe slightly less developed than I would have liked. Their love is sweet and believable and the situations very touching.
A Twelfth Night Tale by Diane Gaston
Ten years ago, one impulsive night changed Elizabeth Arrington's life forever. Now fate has once again thrown her in the path of Zachary Weston - now the powerful Earl of Bolton. As the pair struggle through the festive season they must put their pasts aside to see if the future can be even better than they imagined.
Diane Gaston's final tale of this anthology is an excellently festive story of a second chance at love. Zach and Elizabeth are wonderful characters as well as being the perfect couple. I enjoyed the story of forgiveness and love which was well-written and nicely Christmassy!
Overall, this is an enjoyable anthology that while possibly not being the most festive set of tales - is still a good, fun read that is perfect for a cold winter's night.
