4.0 out of 5 stars Four Stars for Two Exceptionable Christmas Regency Short Stories, August 7, 2011

This review is from: A Regency Christmas III: Mistletoe and Folly/ The Christmas Cuckoo/ The Best Christmas Ever/ Home for Christmas/ The Dark Man (Paperback)

MISTLETOE AND FOLLY by Sandra Heath 2*s Somewhat dryer Christmas regency about misunderstandings of the past and present.

THE CHRISTMAS CUCKOO by Mary Jo Putney 5*s A lovely short story of an older soldier who returns to England, is mistaken for someone else and finds love. Hey, what can I say except I enjoy characters who don't look perfect. Both a heartwarming and gentle romance. My main reason for giving this book four stars.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER by Mary Balogh 3*s A visit from a past love, a Christmas wish from a child and healing hurt feelings. Likeable story but would have probably been better if it was a little longer with the main characters fleshed out more.

HOME FOR CHRISTMAS by Melinda McRae 4*s Second best story. A sailor and second son of a nobleman returns home after being gone for many years. He is hoping to relive some of his best Christmas memories from his childhood. He finds out all of his family is spending the holidays elsewhere when he meets the governess to his older brother's children. The two find out they have more in common then they both initially realize. A sweet read.

THE DARK MAN by Edith Layton 2*s Edith Layton, what can I say? I either really like her regencies or I don't. This is a short Christmas story of a couple who become engaged, she finds out he has a mistress, he finally falls in love with his intended only to have her stop the engagement, more misunderstandings and a rushed HEA. Tied with MISTLETOE AND FOLLY as my least favorite stories.

I wanted a book that I could curl up with on a cool evening and get away from the mundane chores of the day. This did the trick, I enjoyed all the stories especially my favourate writer Mary Balogh. All the things the seller stated were correct and my book now is in the christmas section of my shelf to be read again this christmas.
