Summary

A heartwarming stand-alone novella from New York Times best-selling 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.

A lovely Christmas Fable

Adam was a great rake and due to a problem with his carriage and his ill grandmother, he ends up spending Christmas with Sarah and her family, something he wasn't looking forward to!

I really enjoyed the romance between Adam and Sarah but I found the references to the Frog Princess infuriating and unnecessary and I nearly turned it off when I heard the dreadful music in the beginning!

The narration was OK but she doesn't do men very well. in my opinion they are very overacted.

Overall, it was an enchanting tale and I will look out for more stories from this author.
