What is your favorite Christmas genre for movies or shows? Romance, mystery, or other? I have a favorite subgenre, Christmas Regency Romance.
Mistletoe Christmas is a very enjoyable Christmas
anthology of novellas. I really loved how it was set up. All of the novellas exist in the same world
at the Duke of Greystoke’s Christmas Revelry in 1815. The Duke’s Revelry is famous for the snow
grotto, dancing, plays, and scandals.
Everyone wants to be on the guest list. The four novellas focused on
four different women, and all have interconnecting characters.
Lady Cressida is the Duke’s youngest daughter and unbeknownst
to most, she the person who actually runs the Revelry. Her father expects her to continue to run
this after his passing and to have no life of her own. Does Lady Cressida want a different path in
life? Lady Isabelle Wilkshire loves the
theatre and is directing a play at the Revelry.
It brings her back together with her former fiancé. Will she be able to find love again? Lady Caroline Whitmore is unhappily married
but needs to show the Duke that she is happily married in order to get access
to her inheritance. Will she be able to
find happiness with her husband? Miss
Louisa Harcourt is being directed by her mother to marry for money before she
becomes an old maid, but what if she wants to marry for love?
All four of these ladies had a very interesting story
and great character growth. I loved the
setting, the interconnection, and the love stories. I highly recommend this book!
