What is this book about?

Mistletoe is beautiful and dangerous, much like the woman from Lord Frederick’s Percy’s past, so when he turns over a new leaf and arranges to marry for his estate, instead of his heart, he never expects the wrong bride to be the right choice.

Gracelynn Ferguson never expected to take her elder sister’s place as a Christmas bride, but when she’s thrust into the choice, she will trust in her faithful novels and overactive imagination to help her not only win Frederick’s heart but also to solve the murder mystery of Havensbrook Hall before the ghosts from Frederick’s past ruin her fairytale future.

My review:

This story was such a delight just like the main character, Grace. Her innocence and selfless heart spilled color on every page and poor Frederick, he really needed it. I was so pleasantly surprised that such a clean romance could include a kick of spice and make my heart race. In addition to the ‘getting to know each other’ phase of their relationship which caused some conflict, there was also a mystery to solve. I loved this story and will be diving into book two to spend more time with Grace and Freddie.

What I enjoyed most about this book:

Sweet with a touch of spice romance

What I didn’t like about this book:

Nothing

Rating 5 out of 5 stars
