Lady Theodora’s Christmas Wish
For Lady Theodora Rockingham life is wonderful. She is finally officially the Earl’s daughter, she has turned seventeen, she has a dressing room full of new clothes, and there is to be a Christmas Ball. All she needs now is to meet a handsome man at the Ball, and fall in love. So she makes a Christmas Wish. Chase Harringdon, newly the Duke of Montford, is still adjusting to giving up the rakish ways that he pursued as the Marquess of Travers. But a Duke needs an heir, and that requires a suitable Lady. He just hasn’t seen one that he’s the slightest bit interested in. Until the Christmas Ball. Will Lady Theodora‘s Christmas Wish come true? Will the Duke finally find a woman he can love? Find out in this delightful Christmas story.
The Earl’s Missing Christmas Heir
Lady’s maid Justina Stanley is stunned to discover she is the missing heir to the Earl of Rosedale’s fortune. Solicitor Stephen Montgomery guides her through this startling life transition. Justina considers him a dear friend. Sometimes, he seems to be even more… But all is not well. Justina’s two half-sisters resent her and set out to make her life a complete misery. When the Duke of Wockshire falls for Justina, her half-sisters’ resentment knows no bounds. But the Duke harbors a secret. When his true intentions are exposed, Justina is directly in his line of fire.
Just One Christmas Kiss
It is Lady Matilda Darcy's first Christmas since the fire — her first Christmas without her parents, the Marquis and Marchioness of Dartmount. She has just her little brother Clarence and her dour Aunt Alda, who thinks that Christmas decorations are a useless frivolity. Aunt Alda refuses to have a Christmas Ball at her home. Matilda wheedles her way into hanging a single Christmas a Christmas mistletoe, but what is the use? No one will kiss her under it. Matilda desperately wants to feel loved, and just one Christmas Kiss would make a Merry Christmas for Matilda. Neville Kronel, Lord Barrington, has recently inherited his title, and the rather outdated mansion and estate that came with it. He has successfully managed to avoid his neighbours, until he chances to meet Matilda, walking in the woods. And then Aunt Alda persuades him to host the Christmas Ball. But who will he celebrate with? Christmas kisses really do change everything…..
A Christmas Surprise
Silas Reeves, Duke of Norholm, wounded at Waterloo, returned home so close to death that he collapsed on the road and was found, face down in the snow, by a local doctor, who, with his daughter Louisa, nursed Silas back to health in their home. Although he stayed at their home for weeks, recovering, he hid the fact that he was the Duke, after hearing Louisa talk angrily of how his family had ruined her sister's life. Unable to face her condemnation, he tells a lie about his identity. But, slowly, Louisa and the Duke grow fond of each other. Will the Duke confide the secret of his identity? Will Louisa be able to forgive him for not telling the truth?
The Duke’s Christmas Blessing
Patrick Hann, Duke of Cumberland, has made a habit of falling in love. But this time is different – this time he intends to propose. His best friend, Andrew Curtis, Earl of Armagh, is quite certain that the Duke has chosen the wrong woman – for he has seen, with his own eyes, the lady in question, in a rather scandalous circumstance. But how can he tell Patrick the truth? When Lady Diana, the woman in question, is injured in a carriage accident, events are set in motion that result in unexpected meetings, unlooked for love, a terrible scandal and the pain of choosing duty over love. Can the Duke find happiness? Or will he be deceived, and forced to abandon his true love?

Entertaining collection of Regency Christmas stories by five (5) great authors.
Each book is unique in its own way and allows the reader to gain a deeper understanding of the social status is England during this time period. The stories were entertaining, and provided me with an afternoon of enjoyment while reading them.

Lady Theodora's Christmas Wish - Seventeen year old Theodora (Tia) is excited to attend her first adult ball and day dreams about meeting her future husband there. Thirty year old Chase, newly and unexpectedly elevated to a Dukedom, has no wish to marry a girl out of the schoolroom (his rakish past means that is not the type of girl he finds attractive) but he finds himself strangely drawn to Tia.
The Earl's Missing Christmas Heir - after a horrendous day with a demanding mistress and a lecherous master, ladies maid Justina finds out that she is the eldest daughter of an Earl, with wealth and family. It is the happiest day of her life, until she meets said family. Two men are kind to her, rather than looking down their noses at her for her past, Stephen her family's solicitor and Charles, Duke of Wockshire. With which man will she fall in love?
Just One Christmas Kiss - Lady Matilda and her young brother Clarence have been orphaned and now live with their Aunt. The only men that her Aunt introduces her to are far too old for her to be interested in them but one day, whilst out walking, she meets their new neighbour. The story appears to be unfinished which was rather disappointing and had a number of minor grammatical errors.
A Christmas Surprise - Louisa, the daughter of a doctor helps to heal a wounded Army officer only to find out that he is the brother of the man that ruined her sister.
The Duke's Christmas Blessing - Patrick, Duke of Cumberland is a romantic (always in and out of love) but never before has he proposed marriage. Is Lady Diana worthy of his love though? His friend, Lord Armagh doesn't think so but he is afraid that Patrick will just think him petty or jealous if he voices his doubts. This is Patrick's romance after the engagement!
I found all the stories a tad disappointing and naive; they could do with further character development which I realise is difficult with a short story but I have read better. Having said that, they are an easy read for a cold winter's afternoon.
I received a complimentary copy of this boxset from one of the authors and voluntarily chose to review. I was not compensated for my review, and I was not required to write a positive review.

Irritating
I found that the stories were ok but the fact that at the end of each was a chapter of another book or books, the author wrote. I felt like it was a big push to purchase other books before you could even enjoy the one you were reading.

This bundle contains five short, very sweet Regency Christmas romances, the kind that make you say, a-a-ah, when you read them. What a lovely gift that was, ladies. (I voluntarily reviewed this free ebook.)
