Fun start to a trilogy of holiday centered Regency romance novellas

Rating: 3.5 sweet stars rounded down to 3 stars

This is the first in a planned trilogy of Holiday novellas by Darcy Burke. The second and third installments are set to be published in October and November 2019. This is a Regency romance set in the English countryside. It is a loose retelling of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and is utterly delightful in its light and cheery tone.

It was a pleasant break from some of the heavier books I’ve been reading lately. The heroine, Bianca and her childhood friend, Ash meet again at a local house party. Ash has been tormented by the house party host and his friends since childhood. Ash suffers from what appears to be Tourette’s syndrome, and that made him a target for taunting and pranks. When the behavior continues at the house party, Bianca is appalled and tries to help Ash. The story takes off from there.

Bianca and Ash are likeable and believable characters. I enjoyed getting to know them better. I don’t know how accurate the story is as far as what women were allowed to do in the 1800’s, but Bianca’s actions up the romance nicely. Sometimes all you want is to read a fun romance. I rarely give out 5 stars for a romance. They just don’t shake my world to that extent. So a 3.5 rating from me indicates a book worthy of spending time reading when you have a romantic itch to scratch. I am looking forward to seeking out the next two books in the series upon their publication.

‘Thank-You’ to NetGalley; the publisher, Darcy Burke Publishing and the author, Darcy Burke for providing a free e-ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
