5 of 5 stars
I adore these sweet
Christmas romances! Ms. Ridley is masterful in the latest book in the 12 Dukes
of Christmas series. Adam Farland,
Duke of Azureford, gets tongue-tied in social settings. He has no problem addressing
Parliament, but is at a total loss with small talk. He plans to visit his
cottage to practice his social skills by building a billiards room. His next
door neighbor, Miss Carole Quincy lost her precious sketchbook in that same
cottage and tries to retrieve it only to be confronted by the angry Duke at her
intrusion in his home.
Thus begins their
relationship and it is a delightful road they're on. There were some
laugh-out-loud moments when Carole demonstrates her skills in mathematics and
architecture. Adam soon relaxes and begins to enjoy conversations with Carole.
I love seeing the heroine have intelligence and skills beyond shopping and
embroidery. I only wish there was more explanation on why Adam was so shy. Was
he like that throughout his childhood and schooling? All in all this was another
enjoyable read. I look forward to reading the next story in this wonderful series.
I voluntarily read the advanced reader copy and
all opinions are my own.
