An engaging Christmas novella that deserved to be a full novel. I enjoyed Lady Pippa Godfrey (and the erstwhile rake Lucas Hartfeld, the Earl of Maddox). Nothing like a dark and stormy night to set the atmosphere, impassable roads, an unwilling suitor who has to take shelter at the scorned friend's house, a sensitive misunderstood young woman betrayed by her best friend during their come out, and a dark and painful secret exposed at Christmas time to give a storyline some gravitas. Mind you maybe Pippa should have put Lucas in the stable with the animals ( echoes of a past story) but there were plenty of rooms at the inn, err country manor, and Lucas was persuasive in his wrathful anger at the elements and then being halted by a snip of a miss. Unfortunately, the rake in Lucas gave nary a thought for the reputation of said young miss. A NetGalley ARC This is a Christmas novella that looks at friendship and families and how they can make or break a person’s life. Lady Pippa Godfrey is a genuinely good person who has been hurt during her first season in London. One night, when her parents were visiting friends, a bad storm brings Lucas Hartfield, Earl of Maddox, to her door seeking shelter since his carriage is stuck in the mud. As is expected of her she does find a room for Lucas and space for his servants. The storm continues a few more days stranding him with Pippa for a few days. With nothing but time on their hands they get to know one another, manage a kiss under the mistletoe and then say goodbye to one another only to have her parents return, neighbors and Lucas’s parents also arrive a bit of drama ensue. Eventually there is the HEA ending for all. This a fun easy holiday story that would be a treat to read before a fire on a cold winter day. It would have made an excellent novel with more fleshing out and time involved but I enjoyed this almost love at first sight story and think you will, too. Thank you to NetGalley for the copy to read in exchange for my honest review. näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
