Description

You are cordially invited to Christmas at Millworth Manor. . .

Camille, Lady Lydingham, requests the pleasure of your company at a festive house party, as she endeavors to coax a marriage proposal from Prince Nikolai Pruzinsky of Greater Avalonia.

The hostess's relatives will be in attendance--in this case, a troupe of actors hired to impersonate a proper English family in order to fool the Prince.

Gate-crashing, distractingly handsome first loves like Grayson Elliott are most unwelcome.

Games will be played.

Motives will be revealed.

Mayhem may ensue.

And hearts will be won--and lost--in the most romantic, magical season of all.

Please RSVP

    I consider myself a bit of an historical romance "connoisseur". THIS is most definitely NOT "just the same ole story". The storyline of this novel is so outrageous as to be completely believable. (There's a reason the phrase "truth is often stranger than fiction" even exists!) In fact, I could totally see this plot as a rom-com movie set in today's world. This is an excellent book. Read it! You'll thank me.

    Victoria Alexander has done it again by creating a story of whimsy about the lives of the Victorian English nobility in an age of innocence. Her characters are likable and creative often discovering themselves in untenable positions. Her protagonist delightfully manages the impossible to arrive at her long desired future several years late. The tale is delightful living up to its genre of a romance novel.
