4.0 out of 5 stars
Cozy winter holiday romantic read,
By
This review is from: Twelfth Night (A Zebra Regency Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
The best part of this book is that the author shows how and why the main characters grow to like and then love each other. After a compromising situation where they are stranded in a snowstorm, they have a mock engagement that turns out leading to a marriage of convenience(which becomes definitely convenient for the pair as they enjoy conjugal bliss--tastefully done, by the way, being sensually described, but not overly graphic!) The theme of the Christmas season adds to the atmosphere. There are some likable secondary characters(I hope to see a sequel about the hero's sister, Lady Diana, who is delightfully eccentric and vows never to marry--that would be a good story!)The male villain who originally abducted the heroine turns out to be not so bad after all. My only major complaint, and why I gave the novel 4 stars, not 5, was that the book went on too long. It should have ended after the couple realized that they cared about each other. The part afterwards, where the villainess(the former fiancee of the hero) claims to have had her child illegitimately by the hero) and the subsequent problems, was unnecessary. It was difficult to believe that our intelligent heroine would fall for all the lies, given what she already knew about the deviousness of the villainess. Even if it were true, it seems like the heroine would have forgiven the hero for prior indiscretion, and at least been open to his explanations. I felt like the book went on for several chapters after the story should have ended. Anyway, still a good read overall, with a likeable hero and heroine.
