The crowd was rowdy only eight of them, but they managed to make a ruckus better suited to undergraduates on holiday. In my opinion, Georgie and Lucas deserve each other and are perfectly matched, that is, if the truth can be discovered under all the rhetoric. Once the letter is found, Lucas can be on his way.This is a funny, uplifting story which kept me chuckling throughout. Lucas shoves it right back! But they have a job to do – find the letter. She says all the outrageous things she can to rid herself of Lucas. But under this façade, she is dynamite!With this setting, all is chaos. She was scholarly, deeply interested in the political scene, and not one to enjoy balls. She was the daughter of England’s best diplomat. She’d been schooled to not lose her temper, to restrain her reactions. But then.she couldn’t deny him entrance to her father’s home. He will find the letter.****The name Lucas Godwin set her heart pounding and not in a good way! As far as she’s concerned, he was nothing more than a silver-tongued snake. Just as she was prepared to take the bull by its horns, her father cabled additional instructions.Excerpt: I have ordered Lucas Godwin to join the party. The theme of the entertainment is for diplomats to enjoy the tradition of an English Christmas.
He thinks one of the diplomats has snagged it. Her father also expressed concern about an important and vital letter which had gone missing. Georgie was left to entertain a bunch of foreign diplomats. After 30 days of acquaintance and continued attraction, their time in Munich was a distant memory, nothing more.Needless to say, Georgie was a bit sarcastic, embittered and thoroughly put out when her father who was to finally spend time with her at Christmas was called to duty, running off to some diplomatic tangle he was supposed to fix. But Sir Philip was nothing more than a rogue and she, the duped one. Lucas Godwin seemed to like her with her unusual intelligence and interests for a woman of the Regency period.
Her mother passed away years ago and she was virtually stranded to enjoy the season with the servants! Some years previous, she thought she’d fallen in love. Georgie has always, or so it seems, been alone at Christmas. The story begins a few days before Christmas. Albeit, short, since it is a novella, it was packed with humor, silly moments, outrageous dialog and above all, a sound happily ever after. As with all of Meredith Duran’s writing, I enjoyed this one, too.
