Christmas in the Duke’s Arms
Christmas in the Duke’s Arms is $3.99! This is a historical holiday anthology with stories from Grace Burrowes, Shana Galen, Miranda Neville, and Carolyn Jewel. All four stories take place in the same town and feature the same secondary characters. The last story is also #3.5 in the Lord and Lady Spy series by Shana Galen. Many reviews said they loved how the stories were connected, making the book seem like one novel instead of four stories by four different authors. However, there were a few who read the collection based on a favored author and really only liked that one author’s story. Am I making sense? Is it Friday yet?
An anthology of Regency novellas by Grace Burrowes, Shana Galen, Carolyn Jewel and Miranda Neville.
The Duke’s Arms is an undistinguished little inn in the tiny village of Hopewell-on-Lyft. But one Christmas season sees both inn and village seething with adventure, intrigue, rabbits, and, above all, love as four couples find Yuletide happiness.
Grace Burrowes – A Knight Before Christmas
With her year of mourning at an end, Penelope Carrington must remarry in haste, or her portion of her late husband’s estate won’t be enough to dower her younger sisters. Shy, handsome man of business Sir Leviticus Sparrow longs to give Penelope a marriage proposal for Christmas – and his heart – but Sir Levi must first foil the other bachelors scheming to meet Penelope under the mistletoe in his place.
Carolyn Jewel – In The Duke’s Arms
What’s a Duke to do when he’s made an awful impression on the love of his life?
The Duke of Oxthorpe lost his intensely guarded heart to Miss Edith Clay when Edith’s rich cousin sought to attach the duke’s marital interest. So smitten is Oxthorpe with the former poor relation that he’s gone through intermediaries to sell Edith a property adjoining the ducal seat.
Edith doesn’t much care for the haughty duke, but as Christmas approaches, Oxthorpe reveals himself to be reserved rather than arrogant, considerate, and – blame the mistletoe! – an accomplished kisser. Will Edith hold Oxthorpe’s earlier behavior against him, or will she learn that the best holiday gifts can be the most unexpected?
Miranda Neville – Licensed To Wed
If Lord Carbury could learn to take no for an answer, his marriage proposal might earn him a yes!
Wyatt, Viscount Carbury is much too busy to court a bride, but when his childhood neighbor, Robina Weston, is left orphaned and penniless, Wyatt dutifully adds marrying Robina to his list of responsibilities. Wyatt is dismayed to learn that for Robina, poverty and pride are preferable to sharing life with an arrogant, infuriating man who always thinks he knows best.
When Wyatt and Robina must endure Christmas in the country together, antipathy turns to interest, and then to unexpected attraction. Will they fight their feelings, or yield to the surprising gifts the holidays offer?
Shana Galen – The Spy Beneath The Mistletoe
Fledgling spy Pierce Moneypence seeks a highwayman and the key to Eliza’s heart…
When weapons designer Eliza Qwillen (Q) and clerk to the mysterious M, Pierce Moneypence, arrive in the English countryside, they’re unprepared for the dangers that await. The operatives are intent upon capturing the highwayman styling himself as the New Sheriff of Nottingham. Secret rendezvous, mistaken identities, and cat-and-mouse games challenge these fledgling agents, but rediscovering their passion for each other is the most rewarding mission of all.

Christmas Revels
Christmas Revels by Mary Jo Putney is $3.99 at most vendors and $3.03 at Amazon! This is a reprint of the first Christmas Revels collection that was originally published in the early 2000s, but an additional story has been added. Both the original and this new one contain four holiday historical romance tales, though the reprint has a special contemporary holiday novella thrown in. There don’t appear to be any reviews of the reprint on GR just yet, but fans of the original couldn’t say enough good things about “The Black Beast of Belleterre” novella, which has a Beauty & the Beast-esque plot.
Celebrate! These five delightful Christmas stories are filled with Mary Jo Putney’s three favorite things — tradition, lots of emotion, and a guaranteed happy ending. Four classic historical novellas plus Mary Jo’s only contemporary novella are included in this cherished collection.
“Sunshine for Christmas” follows a lonely young aristocrat to Italy for the holidays, where he finds something even more precious than sunshine. (The hero, Lord Randolph Lennox, was a secondary character in the RITA winning novel, The Rake.)
“The Christmas Cuckoo” features level-headed young Meg who goes to the local coaching inn and comes home with the wrong Jack Howard. And like a true cuckoo in the nest, Jack doesn’t want to leave!
“The Christmas Tart” is the tale of Nicole, a young Frenchwoman down on her luck in London, whose stark choice for survival gives her–and her kitten!–a new chance for happiness.
“The Black Beast of Belleterre” is a Beauty and the Beast Victorian tale of a beautiful young artist and the husband who believes he cannot be loved. Of course he’s wrong!
In “A Holiday Fling”, a British actress and a Hollywood cameraman team up to film a Christmas show for a good cause. Anything that happens between them will be a strictly temporary holiday fling—or might it be more?
What all these tales have in common is two people discovering life’s greatest gift, love, at the happiest time of the year. Enjoy!

Maybe This Christmas
Maybe This Christmas by Sarah Morgan is $1.99 at Amazon and Barnes & Noble! This is a contemporary holiday romance and it’s the only book in this post that’s not a collection. The hero is a former champion skier and single dad and the heroine is his best friend. Friends-to-lovers catnip, ahoy! A few readers weren’t too fond of the hero, but many loved how the transition in the couple’s relationship was handled. It has a 4.2-star rating and is the third and final book in the O’Neil Brothers trilogy.
This winter, ex-skiing champion, reformed heartbreaker and single dad Tyler O’Neil has only one mission—making sure his daughter, Jess, has the best Christmas ever. The fact that his best friend, Brenna, is also temporarily moving into his chalet at the overbooked Snow Crystal resort is a delicious distraction he’s simply going to have to ignore. Theirs is the one relationship he’s never ruined, and he’s not about to start now.
Ski pro Brenna Daniels knows all about the perils of unrequited love—she’s been in love with Tyler for years. But living with him is absolute torture…how can she concentrate on being his friend when he’s sleeping in the room next door? Then when Tyler kisses Brenna, suddenly the relationship she’s always dreamed of feels so close she could almost touch it. Could this be the Christmas her dreams of a happy-ever-after finally come true?

I’m halfway through Christmas in the Duke’s Arms. I don’t usually read Grace Burrowes or Carolyn Jewel, but I enjoyed the stories by those authors (I bought the book for Miranda Neville’s contribution, which I’ve just started reading).
OOh Yes! for the Mary Jo Putney collection! I have this collection in paperback and also read them individually in the original Signet Regency collections that used to be published every year. These are my favorite Christmas comfort reads. Especially “Sunshine for Christmas” and “The Christmas Cuckoo”. If you like old fashioned Regencies I can’t recommend these highly enough!
Aww, I’d like both anthologies! (But the paranormal.) I’m reading Gift-Wrapped Governess right now, a collection of Christmas novellas about (d’oh) governesses, and it’s delicious.
OMG! ALL the collections were not only available but on sale and cheaper for me in Aust! That never happens. (Of course I had to buy them.)
I don’t know if the Price-Matching Fairies are partying on eggnog or just feeling generous – I’ll just enjoy.
Yay, the Sarah Morgan’s only 59p here in the UK. Thanks for the heads up 🙂
Unfortunately the Sarah Morgan had already gone up to $7 at Amazon by the time I got the email alert this morning. Still 1.99 at BN, though.
“Black Beast of Belleterre” and “Christmas Cuckoo” were the best stories in their original anthologies. I haven’t read all of the ones in this collection, so don’t know is that is a universal truth.
