Short novella on the second-oldest Prim sister, Gwen, who we first met in book one. It's short and fast without a lot of conflict or depth, but despite that, both characters are well-painted and touching. I always like a fast romance where no one is dissembling or keeping quiet. What a fun Christmas read. ( )

REVIEW: THE DUKE AND MISS CHRISTMAS (THE HEIRS' CLUB OF SCOUNDRELS TRILOGY #2.5) BY AMELIA GREY
 
The Duke and Miss Christmas by Amelia GreyMy rating: 4 of 5 starsA mesmerizing holiday tale. The perfect blend of comedy and romance. Amelia Grey writes enjoyable historical romances that bring to life stories that are emotional and fun at the same time. That is something that can always be expected from any of her works. In The Duke and Miss Christmas she uses family unity, the standard Christmas ball, a handsome stranger and a spirited heroine to spin a tale of holiday spirit and hope. I liked the story a great deal but wish it had been a longer one. (https://www.nightowlreviews.com/v5/Reviews/Lashea-reviews-The-Duke-And-Miss-Christmas-by-Amelia-Grey)

This is a fun little Christmas novella.

Gwen Prim and her younger sisters are living with their eldest sister, Louisa, and her husband, the Duke of Drakestone. Crispin, the Duke of Hurst, is recently returned from traveling in America with his mother's second family, and has been invited to the Drakestone Christmas ball. They meet by chance a few days prior, when Crispin finds the youngest Prim sister, Sibyl, who has fallen from a tree and sprained her knee and ankle. Gwen catches up with her wayward little sister just in time to think Crispin is abducting her, and hits him with a basket.

This is, of course, the start of true love.

Crispin has a scandal in his past involving a wager about inducing young ladies to lose their hearts to him. Gwen has a failed courtship with a man who turned out to be a heartless rake to regret. It wouldn't be a romance if there weren't bumps along the way to Christmas Eve and a proposal.

If you're looking for a light Christmas romance to help get you in the spirit of the season, this is worth your time.

I received a free electronic galley of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. ( )

If you're looking for a short sensual Regency historical romance story, this may be the novella for you.

Crispin, the Duke of Hurst, has earned a bit of name for himself from seducing the young ladies. He's parting from his old ways and trying to clean up his reputation. He isn't expecting to meet a feisty young lady who will give him a run for his money. This is a tale of first meeting to marriage between the two.

I had trouble getting into it. Maybe if it would have been longer, I would have liked it more. It wasn't for me, but for many, it will be the perfect treat.
