The Duke and Miss Christmas is a sweet novella that was delightful and charming…. Definitely a light and fast read for the holiday season. ~ Amanda, Guilty Pleasures

Crispin, the Duke of Hurst, has never met a woman he couldn’t handle–until he’s hit over the head with a basketful of mistletoe by a young lady who mistakes his intentions. When he gets into a tussle with her–and she can hold her own–Crispin knows he has finally met his match.
Miss Gwen Prim is mortified that she attacked a duke, but even more concerning is the way her resolve melts when she’s near him. She’s never felt this way about a London gentleman in her life. And with the magic of Christmas in the air, she may end up with a proposal she didn’t expect…in this delightful Regency gem, The Duke and Miss Christmas by New York Times bestselling author Amelia Grey
Review copy provided for an honest review
The Duke and Miss Christmas is a sweet novella that was delightful and charming. What made this story so charming is the Duke himself, Crispin. He’s in the country to visit his uncle and celebrate the holiday, when he encounters a young girl on the ground during his early morning ride. Being the gentleman, he comes to Sybil’s aid after a fall from the tree.
However, no good deed goes unpunished.
First impressions are always important but when Gwen Prim meets the Duke of Hurst for the first time, she jumps to the wrong conclusion and attacks him. Oops! He ultimately teases her and when things are made to right she finds out he’s a duke. Can it get any worse than that? Crispin finds it refreshing that she stood up to him, even before she knew his name and title. He teases her and she teases right back. Will he forgive her for her mistake?
I love it when propriety is so important in order to stay in good standings and avoid scandal with good society. Gwen knew she met an honorable man when he didn’t blame her and was genuinely interested in her and her many sisters. Falling in love wasn’t hard for Gwen when she decided to let herself to do so. Some might find it hard to believe that people can fall in love so fast in a short amount of time but part of it is anticipation and desire. These two have it in spades. Definitely a light and fast read for the holiday season.
