The book gets off to a slow start, but last 90 pages are pure joy. Camille, Lady Lydingham, is a bit of a ninnyhammer, and she comes up with this crazy scheme to create the perfect Christmas for the incognito prince she wants to marry. Or does she want to marry him after all, when Grayson Elliott shows up after an twelve-year absence?

Camille hires a troupe of actors to impersonate her family and the servants at the manor.

Mayhem ensues, some instigated by Grayson, some my Camille's family which unexpectedly returns.

A lighthearted romp with good dialog, entertaining plot and characters. (

I loved the original plot in this historical romance. It was unrealistic for the most part, but I didn't mind at all. I accepted it as I would accept a wonderful fairytale. Not everything has to be entirely plausible for me to enjoy it, especially at Christmas. (

It's a historical romance, but very farcial - almost over the top. For a light read, it's okay.
Rating: 6/10 (

This was a fun, light-hearted romance. It also had plenty of Christmas details that I require this time of year. The main character is a strong-willed, perhaps a little too quick to jump into action heroine who not only has enough family to keep you shaking your head at the craziness, she also hired actors to play a typical family but who are even crazier than her real family. You realize even though your family drives you nuts their really is no place like home for the holidays. (
