Resumen del Editor

Guests are arriving to celebrate Christmas at Lady Holly's ball, and at the top of each guest's wish list is a last chance to find true love before the new year. Amid the sumptuous delicacies, glittering decorations, and swell of the orchestra, every duchess and debutante, lord and lackey has a hopeful heart.

There's the headstrong heiress who must win back her beloved by midnight - or be wed to another - and a spinster whose fateful choice to relinquish love may hold one more surprise for her. Even the charming rake finds far more than he bargained for among the pretty guests. These and many other dazzling, romantic tales fill this star-studded collection that will fill your heart and spice up your holidays!

Good Value

Enjoyable stories by well-known authors. A lot of content in one volume.

Very good, sweet short stories

I love these authors! These stories all intersect and I love that! Narrator does great male/female voices with English accent. If you enjoy sweet, short romances with the magic of Christmas, I believe you will enjoy these stories. if you love these authors then you will listen regardless of a review. 🙂

A most excellent book!

I simply ate this book up, and I know it will be one I listen to over and over again in the future!

The narration is also amazingly perfect! Elaine Claxton has a beautiful, rich voice that does every character's voice and accent perfectly.

Such a fun Christmas read of mini stories that always together in the end

Such a fun Christmas read of mini stories that all weave together. Loved it! Enjoy

Lovely!

This would make a great Christmas present. I had so much fun listening and sighing over all the happy endings.

Nice change

This book was a delightful change from the single story novel. I enjoyed reading about each character's preparation for attending the party. It was similar to reading multiple stories.

Series within a book

Each author wrote into a whole story. The attendees were written by different authors which gave them a unique personality in of themselves. Overall a good book to listen to. Each story is a stand alone but together it became a last chance ball.

The Last Chance Ball

Beautifully narrated by Elaine Claxton, this anthology is filled with several different novellas all built around Miss Holly's "last chance ball". Each story highlighted characters who met and fell in love with someone else invited to the ball. I enjoyed listening to the audio version of this book since the narration was so splendid and these are some of my favorite authors. It was a wonderful Christmas diversion when I took breaks from all the hustle and bustle of this time of year.

Nice planning and cohesive theme

Sometimes in these one main story, multiple author collections the characters don’t seem the same from segment to segment, but this group did a great job keeping the characters uniform and appealing.

Each author writes a short love story set within the theme, if not the actual place of the house party and Christmas Ball. Some stories and characters are stronger but they are all really good.
Every time a new character is introduced I thought “Oh I hope their story is coming up” and it was! Yay! They did a great job with the transitions too.
There are eight (?) stories and they are all good.
Also, no descriptive sex for those who are looking for “clean” romance. There is allusion to it in a few stories, just not a bunch of details. For those who like a little spice, the stories really didn’t suffer for the lack of orgasmic detail.

Christmas Magic

Loved every story! Made my Christmas reading special. Highly recommend to anyone looking for Christmas romance.
