A Christmas Gone Perfectly Wrong by Cecilia Grant

He listens to her, and values her intelligence. While he starts out scandalized and frustrated by Lucy, he very quickly recognizes her genuine and caring heart. He might be fussy and uptight, but his love for his family, the earnestness of his desire to behave like a proper gentleman, does him credit. Andrew is so out of his element, dealing with Lucy. I really enjoyed reading about these two. Their slight deviation from propriety might have gone unnoticed if not for their near-fatal accident, which strands them in a remote community, having to pose as husband and wife, while they await the return of a wheel-wright. Blackshear refusal on the grounds that it would be highly improper for them to travel together without chaperone, stop her from successfully manipulating him into, into committing to deliver her to her aunt’s care for the long-awaited Christmas House Party. When the family coachman is injured, threatening her plans to join her aunt and uncle for her first ever Christmas House Party, she doesn’t let a little thing like Mr. Her childhood has been far from ordinary and while she can easily converse about philosophy and falconry, she has little practical experience with society and house parties. Lucy Sharp is the only daughter of the falcon-raising widowed Baron. He drives on flustered by both her appearance and manner as they pique his sense of propriety, and awaken desires he has previously easily ignored. The young woman coolly turns aside both his offer of aid and his chastisement at being out alone in the rain.

On a desolate road on the way to see an eccentric Baron about a Falcon he nearly runs over a young woman. I am glad the challenge reminded me to read something outside my 'review' books.Īndrew Blackshear is sneaking in one last errand before heading home for Christmas was his family.

But for a variety of reasons it slid back a few pages on my kindle and I might have forgotten about as we got further from the holidays. I meant to read this novella when it was released back in early December. I read a couple of novellas and category length books off of my non-review TBR pile but none that I really loved or had much to say about till I read this one. This is my first 2015 TBR Challenge Review, this month's theme is 'We Love Short Shorts! (Category romance, novellas, short stories)'.
