Rating: 5 out of 5 ⭐
Part of a four book series called Regency Christmas Brides, Married by Twelfth Night features Richard Graham and Grace Steele. Richard is set to inherit enough money to save his estate, but only if he marries by Twelfth Night and the woman must meet his dying Aunt’s expectations. Looking for assistance, Richard depends on his little sister’s best friend, Grace, to help him find the right woman.
But as they pretend to be courting to get the attention of Grace’s older sister, Richard and Grace start falling for one another. They’ve spent their lives near one another and have always had something brewing there, but they’ve both ignored it until now.
A wonderful Christmas time romance that features plenty of humorous situations and banter between the main characters. Grace is independent, strong willed and not afraid to put Richard in his place. Meanwhile, Richard is still reeling from the loss of his father, his mother’s heartache and his sister’s mourning, all while trying to keep his family together and keep the estate from being lost to them forever. In Grace, he finds his match and they are a perfect pair!
GET IT HERE:
Mr. Richard Graham will do anything to find a wife by Christmas, including calling in a favor from the one woman who despises him.
Richard Graham cannot believe his luck when his great-aunt promises him a fortune if he’s married by Twelfth Night. He can finally clear his father’s debts and save his beloved Belside Manor. Miss Ruth Steele meets all the marriageable requirements his aunt insisted upon, but he’ll need the help of her clever and beautiful sister, Grace, to win the quiet woman over. Not only is Grace a dear friend to his younger sister, with loyalties to his family estate, but she also happens to owe him a generous favor. If she can put aside her dislike for him, his Christmas miracle will be easily attainable by the looming deadline.
Grace Steele never planned to make a bargain with Richard Graham. She cares little for the overly charming man and his penchant for flirtation, and she has spent the last several years establishing this fact. But when Richard offers to scare away an unwanted suitor in exchange for her help, she relents. What harm can arise from a pretend courtship over the holidays? Besides his unsettling effect on her, it allows time for her impossibly shy sister to warm to Richard and sends a clear message to Mr. Dobson that she is unavailable. Once Ruth and Richard are married, she will be forever rid of the much-too-perfect Richard Graham.
And all by Twelfth Night. What could possibly go wrong?
*Love blooms in the least expected place in this witty, kisses only, holiday romance. Read as a stand-alone, or enjoy it as the last book in the Regency Christmas Brides series.
