Lady Joan Flynn escapes from Edinburgh to avoid a
scandal, but finds herself sad and alone at a train station after her maid
suddenly becomes ill. Seeing her
distress, Dante Hartwell, his children and sister offer Lady Joan a ride on
their private train car to her destination in the Scottish Highlands. When they arrive at their destination, they
discover they are all on the way to the same house party. Dante is a mill owner that needs a wife with
good connections to help him find investors, while Joan needs a husband before
Christmas to avoid scandal. The two
realize that they just might solve each other’s problems, while also starting
down a path towards love.
I enjoyed both Lady Joan and Dante as characters and I
loved their story. There were a lot of
side characters from I’m assuming earlier books in this series that I was not
as interested in. They seemed to slow
the story down for me. I might have
enjoyed their stories more if I had read those books, and I would have enjoyed
this book more without them. It was a bit slow in the middle. A more
interesting side story in this one involved Dante’s sister Margaret and I loved
her story as well.
Overall, a very nice Christmas romance that will
brighten your winter days.
