HTML:<p><b>"Eight romance authors walk into a Regency-era ballroom and wreak fabulous, shimmering holiday mischief all over the place."</b><b>—</b><b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b><br /> <i>Christmas 1815.</i> Upstairs and downstairs, Holbourne Abbey is abuzz with preparations for a grand ball to celebrate the year's most festive—and romantic—holiday. For at the top of each guest's wish list is a last chance to find true love before the New Year . . .<br /> <br /> "The tales are rather sentimental, a box of chocolates with sweet, soft centers inside a dark covering, a pleasant confection for the holiday season. My personal favorites are Anne Gracie's 'Mistletoe Kisses,' a charming variant on the Cinderella story, and Susan King's 'A Scottish Carol,' whose lovers must struggle to find healing for the wounds of self-doubt and past failures; but there is ample variety here for other tastes. Recommended for lovers of Regency romances."—<i>Historical Novel Society</i><br /> <br /> "In this wonderful collection of eight short stories, Christmas in the Regency world is brought to life in extraordinary fashion, with love, secrets, scoundrels and heroes of every description."—<i>Fresh Fiction</i><br /> <br /> "If what you are looking for is a set of short stories with a common location and holiday feel that are well done, quick to read, and entertaining then this will be a book for you . . . one of the best historical romance collections I've read in a long time."—<i>Smexy Books</i><br /> <br /> "Each author's unique style and storytelling talents are at their best, gifting readers one scrumptious treat after another . . . glowing with the joy and romance of the yuletide."—<i>RT Book Reviews</i> (4 Stars)</p>.
