THERE WAS MORE BEING EXCHANGED THAN GIFTS!

Sir Jervis, taking to his annual holiday deathbed, demands the attendance of his family. Unfortunately, he is the only one in a celebratory mood. Daughter Audrey, a lovely widow with two grown stepsons, is in financial despair and quite unsettled by the presence of her niece Regina's fiancé, Lord Elliott . . . who in turn is aware that his betrothed is still enamored of Audrey's stepson, Larry . . . a war hero determined to win back his true love.

Of course, before everyone can be correctly matched, they must be unmatched. And somewhere between a stolen necklace, stolen kisses, and many curious mishaps, true love threatens to right all wrongs--turning the season very merry indeed . . . .

Reviews

[Andi]

Not Marian Devon’s best work, but enjoyable nonetheless. (I’d recommend her Mistletoe and Folly for a better Xmas novel). The ending here was a little too abrupt, and I might have liked it more if I hadn’t felt shortchanged on the resolution of 2 of the 3 romantic storylines.

A fun trip down memory lane. I haven't read a historical regency romance in years. It was a fun light read that definitely helped set the Christmas mood.

This was such a sweet family reunion with several MC. Very well-written and there were humours moments. A very enjoyable Christmas read.

[Roberta]

Sir Jervis summons his family to his deathbed during the Christmas season. Somewhat predictable but enjoyable Regency Christmas tale. A stolen necklace provides a distraction while the main action is getting the correct couples, well... coupled.
