Since his father's interference ruined his chance to marry the woman he loved, Calder Stafford has spent a decade proving himself to be aloof, uninterested in happiness, and certainly not in need of anyone's help. Now the Duke of Hartwell, he's determined to have his revenge by doing away with anything his father loved, especially the village's annual Christmas celebrations. No one will change his mind, not his sisters, and certainly not the newly returned woman who stole his heart.Now widowed, Felicity Garland has returned to Hartwell to care for her sick mother. She's shocked not to find the holiday celebrations she was expecting and whens he learns the duke is the reason, she's even more surprised to see how much the man she used to love has changed. Now both the town festivities, and Calder himself, need Felicity to save them.
I really loved this book. It may be quick but it was heavy on the emotions and so sweet. I'm typically not a huge fan of the second chance trope but this one really worked well. It was nice to see Calder get some much-needed redemption after he was so awful in the first two books of this series and to get insight into why he was the way he was. This was the perfect addition to this sweet series.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
