The first novella, Meet Me in Mayfair by Tessa Dare, was my favorite story in the book, and I gave it an A. As a result, I really enjoyed the first half of the book, but that enjoyment fizzled out and left me feeling dissatisfied with the end. The first two novellas by Tessa Dare and Sarah MacLean worked really well for me, but the last two by Sophie Jordan and Joanna Shupe had some problems I couldn’t overcome. Since How the Duke Stole Christmas includes novellas by some of my favorite authors, I was willing to set aside my Grinch-iness and dive in. That said, my brain has been pretty tired lately and some Regency novellas sounded like the perfect way to unwind without investing in a full length novel. Generally speaking, I’m not in the mood for Christmas on December 23rd even, but mid-fall is WAY too early. Genre: Historical: American, Historical: European, Romance
