Book Reviews of Christmas Revels
Book Review: nice Christmas anthology
Summary: 4 Stars
****½ "A Holiday Fling".
Characters from The Spiral Path get their own story--a 30-something British actress and an Oscar-winning American cinematographer get together to film a traditional Christmas production to save a historic building. Very sweet story--they both think so highly of each other that they can't imagine the other would want more than just 'a holiday fling.'
****½ "The Christmas Cuckoo."
New earl, recently an army major, escapes from his aunt's machinations and ends up being mistaken for the heroine's brother's friend who's coming for Christmas: an army captain with the same, common name. I docked it a half star because the Big Secret that the characters is just about to reveal only to have it revealed for them is such a cliche, & rather tedious.
*** "Sunshine for Christmas."
Pretty standard story about an English nobleman with SAD who goes to Italy for Christmas and meets an English governess/artist. It's probably shallow of me, but while I like tormented heroes and deeply flawed heroes, I'm not fond of pitiful ones, or of depressed characters in general.
*** "The Christmas Tart."
Another fairly standard story. Heroine is a destitute, displaced Frenchwoman who's mistaken for a prostitute by the hero's friends, who give her as a gift to him. I really did not buy that they fell in love.
****½ "The Black Beast of Belleterre."
Beauty & the Beast. In fact, reading Beauty & the Beast is what makes the heroine realize how to fix things at the end of the story. Ugly and scarred hero shuts himself away from people. He's made a substantial loan to the heroine's father, who tries to force her to marry a vile old man to get more money, so the hero offers her a marriage of convenience in exchange for doubling and then cancelling the loan.
