On her journey north to take up her position as companion to an elderly countess, Miss Delia Somerset finds herself stranded, penniless, in a snowstorm and sure to freeze to death. Luckily for her, a handsome stranger appears just in time to save her.
Jack Thorne, Viscount Thorne, is already not thrilled to be traveling to his home to spend Christmas with his boisterous family and he's certainly not happy to be slowing his progress to stop for a bedraggled, half-frozen miss. However, after he winds up spending a shockingly magical night together, Jack begins to believe Delia is exactly what he's always needed.
This sweet little novella is basically everything you might want in a feel-good Christmas romance. While it was a little lighter on steam that I had hoped it might be, this was snowstorm, only one bed, instalove goodness. I wasn't super crazy about Jack mistaking Delia for a prostitute, but things were cleared up before it went to far and he actually wound up being really sweet to her. His realization of his feelings for her and determination to find her once he did was everything. I loved that part and the fact that he realized his feelings and didn't question them, but rather took immediate action was fantastic. I think that lack of angst and lack of time to have miscommunications is what I love about novellas. If you're look for something cute to curl up with and get into the holiday spirit, this is a good choice.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
