Synopsis

A heartwarming stand-alone novella from New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Hoyt!
Adam Rutledge, Viscount d'Arque, really rather loathes Christmas. The banal cheerfulness. The asinine party games. And, worst of all, the obligatory trip to the countryside. His grandmother, however, loves the holiday---and Adam loves his grandmother, so he'll brave the fiercest snowstorm to please her. But when their carriage wheel snaps, they're forced to seek shelter at the home of the most maddening, infuriating, and utterly beguiling woman he's ever met . . .
Sarah St. John really rather loathes rakes. The self-satisfied smirks. The sly predatory gazes. Oh, and the constant witty banter rife with double meaning. But in the spirit of the season, she'll welcome this admittedly handsome viscount into her home. But as the snowstorm rages, the Yule log crackles, and the tension rises, Sarah and Adam find themselves locked in a fiery, passionate kiss. If love is the true meaning of Christmas, it's the one gift this mismatched pair can't wait to unwrap.

3.5 stars I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Disillusioned early on about rakes, Sarah St. John has always given Adam Rutledge, Viscount d'Arque, the cold shoulder. When he shows up unexpectedly at he......more

*3.5 stars* A sweet holiday novella, perfect for those who like historical romance shorts and appropriate for those new to the Maiden Lane series. Though I own quite a few books in Elizabeth Hoyt's Maiden Lane series, I haven't actually read any (I know, I know!). However, I'm a sucker for a cute Chr......more

This was a nice quickie but I’ve waited so long for Viscount d’Arque’s story! I just wish he’d had his own full length novel. Ugh!!!......more

Goodreads review by Princess under cover on June 30, 2018

I don't know why other readers rated this one lower than the other novella I just finished. This is exactly what I would like to read in a shorter book - all of it focused on the two main characters with little distraction. And EH delivers. I have always liked heroes that are a little "bad" but reall......more
