5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Winter Escapism 23 Nov 2011
By Lady Muc
Format:Mass Market Paperback
These stories are great for cold Christmas evenings. Curl up and escape to 1800s England and the rich storytelling I have come to expect from Marguerite Kaye. Three stories in one, each based on the theme of Governesses at Christmas time. I especially liked the details of past Christmas traditions that I knew nothing about. Loved them.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fabulous little gift for Christmas 22 Nov 2011
By sarah stewart - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I adore stories about governesses and absolutely love stories about regency Christmas. So put the two together and you have a fabulous little book. I say "little" advisably because it didn't take me long to read. Each story was short and sweet...just the job to read on the bus or in your lunch break.

Christmas at Blackhaven Castle by Sophia James is the story of love at first sight. Seraphina escapes a near rape and hides at Blackhaven Castle as a governess. Lord Trey Standford, the father of three troublesome sons wants to kick her out because he is afraid she is a useless, beautiful woman. But he soon sees, and falls in love with, Seraphina's inner beauty. Nothing too complicated to this story, just a darling little romance.

Governess to Christmas Bride by Annie Burrows. Lord Chepstow thinks his sister's friend is an ugly, miserable spinster. Miss Miller believes Lord Chepstow is a useless, flighty rake. Despite their arguments and bad opinions of each other, they cannot stay away from each other. OK...it's obvious where this story is going...all that sexual tension must mean one thing. But I liked this story of two, seemingly incompatible people realizing that there is a fine line between love and hate.

Duchess by Christmas by Marguerite Kaye. Gabriel, Duke of Blairmore decides to "test" three potential brides by seeing their reaction to a family of children so he asks Regan Stuart if he can "borrow" her sisters and brothers, and for Regan to pretend to be their governess. What he soon realises is he wants this family to be his own...including Regan. This was my least favorite story but even so, it's a delightful romance with a happy ending.

I highly recommend this anthology. It's very light but I did enjoyed every story so would rate it as value for money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Was this about Christmas? 13 Nov 2012
By Jennifer Reed - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love the premise of this book. Christmas + Governess' + Children's Christmas Joy + 3 Short Stories = Heartwarming. Not to be. There was so much filler conversation and so little Christmas/children/traditions/heartfelt warmth. The Christmas component was almost non-existent. As I read I could picture each author typing away to invent a story that would meet their word quota and fit into this story collection. All 3 stories were a very big disappointment.(I actually gave this book 2 stars because the first story was bearable. Just.) Cover sure is cute though.

Though I now subscribe to Love Inspired Suspense and Heartsong monthly, I enjoy the Christmas anthologies Harlequin puts out through it's Historical line and light romance line .
