'Tis the season for hope, joy, romance...and sweet Regency Surprises!
The Last Surprise by Blair Bancroft
Blush sensuality level: This is a sweet romance (kisses only, no sexual content).
Not all surprises are good ones. In the midst of a glorious first season, Lady Christine Ashford's life is wholly disrupted by tragedy. The death of her father, the Earl of Bainbridge, leaves herself and her younger sisters summarily exiled from the family estate to distant relatives in Yorkshire to wait for the return of the elusive heir to her father's title. There, life quickly becomes untenable. The new earl's return from the colonies gives Christine and her sisters a chance to escape their scheming Yorkshire relatives, but only through an unexpected marriage to this new, unknown man who has taken her father's title and his lands. As the year turns to Christmas, the season of new life and joy, Christine must decide if she can embrace the spirit of the season -- and her new husband.
Christmas Bequest by Barbara Miller
Blush sensuality level: This is a sweet romance (kisses only, no sexual content).
The shocking news comes right before Christmas -- Patience Mayhew's beloved brother Jack was lost in the Battle of Nivelle. Since his son is but a toddler, Jack left his estate in trust to his best friend Stuart -- the man who, years ago, broke Patience's heart. Stuart Marsh is just as shocked as Patience at Jack's bequest. How can he possibly run Heatherfield when Jack's widow resents him and sister detests him? But as he settles in and sees how much work Heatherfield needs, he realizes it's his chance to prove himself to Patience all over again. He wants nothing more than to lift the burden from her shoulders and prove that Christmas miracles exist -- and that love, real love, never truly fades away.
Double Masquerade by Kate Fox
Blush sensuality level: This is a sweet romance (kisses only, no sexual content).
Jane, the Honorable Miss Lumley, is in a bind. She can't help boasting about her friendship with author Mr. Michael Girard, whose sweeping new series of adventurous tales set on the high seas have fetched a high price at a Nottingham book auction. Darkly debonair bookseller Lachlan, Lord Stathmore, finds Girard's stories improbable but knows they will sell. When Jane's impassioned defense wins him over, he asks her to arrange a meeting with the mysterious Mr. Girard. But how can she, when she herself is the stories' scribe and she is forced to keep the real seafarer's identity secret? A Christmas cotillion offers a solution. But while men's clothes and a mask might be enough to hide her identity, will her double masquerade be enough to conceal her rising passion?
