I liked the idea of making your own interpretation of the constellations, once you know the correct names ( )

The third book in this Christmas series has Mr Christopher Pringle wanting to find a bride. To do that he uses Gloria, the town Matchmaker (except she's never matched anyone before). While the reader can see that these 2 seem perfect for each other the obstacles seem too much to overcome. He loves to travel and have adventures, she doesn't want to leave the town of Christmas and gets her adventures through books.
It is heartbreaking to see them falling in love yet unable to find a way to make it work. Their struggles make the Happily Ever After all the sweeter when it finally comes.
I received a free advanced copy of this book. ( )

I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book provided by NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

In searching for older books by Erica Ridley I came across Wish Upon A Duke. Published in November of 2018, it's book 3 of the 12 Dukes Of Christmas series. With only a passing nod to previous characters, Wish Upon A Duke stands by itself.

Christopher Pringle (don't you love the name?), is an dedicated adventurer. He likes rules, facts and things that are dependable, will stay the same. He's running from a bad childhood, though he thinks that's long over with. He's lonely and wants someone to be with him, a love match. His idea of a mate is himself in a skirt.

Gloria Godwin has been on her own for the past 6 years and has become set in her ways. Life has delt her a harsh hand and it's become twisted in her mind that if she stays still, changes nothing, that all will be fine. Both characters have been warped, in different ways, into thinking that a straight line and path will protect them. Christopher begins a kind of immersion therapy, working slowly to address Gloria's fears. In the process he comes to face his own. They grow and change together, it's sweet to see two such flawed people become whole again and find love.
