About this eBook

THIS WINTER, STEAL AWAY WITH THE REIGNING QUEENS OF REGENCY ROMANCE
. . . plus one or two dukes, one heiress, and one headstrong beauty—to a surprise snowstorm, the comfort of a blazing fire, and the heat of a lover’s kisses . . .

A CHRISTMAS ABDUCTION by Madeline Hunter
Caroline Dunham has a bone to pick with notorious rake Baron Thornhill—and a creative plan to insure his undivided attention. Yet once in close quarters, she finds herself beholden to their smoldering connection . . .
 
A PERFECT MATCH by Sabrina Jeffries
Whisked away from a wintry ball by the officer she knew only through letters, Cassandra Isles struggles with her feelings for the commanding Colonel Lord Heywood. For he, secretly a fortune-hunter, must marry for money to save his estate—and Cass, secretly an heiress, will accept nothing less than
love . . .    
 
ONE WICKED WINTER NIGHT by Mary Jo Putney
Dressed as a veiled princess, Lady Diana Lawrence is shocked to discover that the mysterious corsair who tempts her away from the costume ball is the duke she once loved and lost. Now snowed in with Castleton at a remote lodge, will she surrender to the passion still burning hotly between them?

“The passion is hot enough to melt a snowbank. This fanciful Regency anthology will keep readers warm all winter.”
Publishers Weekly


“It's clear that these historical romance dynamos know their craft and can make any dubious reader believe in a happily-ever-after. . . . A solid and varied collection for readers who adore a holiday setting.”

Three wonderful novellas written by Madeline Hunter, Sabrina Jeffries and Mary Jo Putney, that all take place around Christmas time. All three authors have such a magical way of writing their stories and these are no exception. A CHRISTMAS ABDUCTION by Madeline Hunter: Caroline abducts Adam and plans to make him pay for what he's done to her sister but plans don't always work out the way you want them to! It doesn't take long before the truth comes out and Adam proves himself to be everything Caroline wants for herself. **** A PERFECT MATCH by Sabrina Jeffries: Cassandra and Heywood are attracted to each other but he must marry a heiress to save the dilapidated estate he was left by his father. Cassandra has hidden the fact that she is indeed a heiress because she wants to marry for love and not to a fortune hunter. It's a good thing Heywood declares his love to her before he discovers she's actually a heiress but all is not easily solved! **** ONE WICKED WINTER’S NIGHT by Mary Jo Putney: Diana and Anthony have a history and now, years later, they meet up again and discover the mutual attraction is still there. Anthony is determined to find out the truth of why Diana wouldn't marry him all these years ago and I loved how her cat, the Panda, has quite an important role in bringing them back together:) **** I was given an ARC of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

A Christmas Abduction Very good, my favorite of the three. Adam falls for a trick and finds himself abducted. He closely observes his surroundings and bit by bit realizes where he is, but cannot guess the reason for his abduction. Caroline is desperately trying to hold on to her horse farm. Most annoying character: her spoiled younger sister, who is also dishonest. The Perfect Match OK. An often used trope: H needs to marry for money; h is an heiress, but no one in society knows. My least favorite of the three. One Wicked Winter Night Very good. A 2nd chance story with the h being older than the H. Some quick-witted signs of imagination of the characters regarding cat breeds. I read an advance copy; the thoughts expressed are my own.

Want to feel like it's a cold snowy night with a touch of hot flashes this is the book to read. A Christmas Abduction is intriguing right from the start. It just kept bringing suprises. All the way to the end. Loved it and the take charge Caroline. A perfect match.. wow talk about steamy!! Cass and Heywood will have you blushing. Loved how it was a steamy love match right from the start. Short and sweet and right to the climax. Loved that Kitty had her happy ever after too. One wicked night is a long time love match coming back together in an explosion. Anthony still loves Diane and is holding "panda" hostage to get some answers. It's a great story that touches on 1 in 4. It reminds people that they are still worthy after loss and that love can happen at any age.
