Major Jack Howard, a weary veteran of the Peninsular Wars, has just returned to England and intends to travel to an unwelcoming family home for Christmas. But when a pompous secretary gives him too many orders, Jack hops on the next stagecoach leaving the London inn, not caring where it’s going. Too much whisky to stave off freezing leaves him sleeping it off in a different inn - and when an attractive young woman asks if he’s Jack Howard, he happily goes home with her.

Lady Winifred Grisham has been in love with her brother's best friend, Lord Trent Ballantine, more years than she can remember. The only problem is, Trent is a notorious rogue who doesn't dally with the respectable. Except Winnie doesn't want a dalliance - she wants his heart.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 28
One of Daphne Wade's guilty pleasures is to watch the Duke of Tremore as he works, shirtless, on the excavation site of his ducal estate. Anthony Courtland is by far the most exciting and handsome man she has ever known, and she dreams of one day being able to speak with him without getting tongue tied. Anthony, meanwhile, only sees her as a hard worker on his excavation team. He considers her a plain young lady and says so to a friend, unaware that Daphne is outside the library door, her heart shattering to pieces. So Daphne decides she will not be so silly any longer.

But when their carriage wheel snaps, they're forced to seek shelter at the home of the most maddening, infuriating, and utterly beguiling woman he's ever met.

To escape the duke’s clutches, she’s going to need a little help. Captain Arthur Heywood’s days of heroism are long past.

With Christmas around the corner, Miss Caroline Anderson hoped to persuade a London tavern owner to carry the Home's Widow's Brew - only to discover the dastard was more interested in her ankles than her ale!

Amid a nasty storm, Caro seeks shelter at a nearby estate - only to be greeted by Viscount Oakland, a.k.a. Nick, her brother's childhood friend - and her schoolgirl crush. Now, he's the half-dressed host of what is clearly a holiday bacchanal.

Scandal has rocked the city of London. Colin Eversea, a handsome, reckless unapologetic rogue is sentenced to hang for murder and, inconveniently for him, the only witness to the crime disappears. Then again, throughout history, the Everseas have always managed to cheat fate in style: Colin is snatched from the gallows by a beautiful, clever mercenary. Cool-headed, daring Madeleine Greenway is immune to Colin's vaunted charm. Her mission is not to rescue Colin but to kidnap him, and to be paid handsomely for it.

Publisher's Summary
Lady Emma Whitton has decided it's time to take her future in her own hands. She has been in love with Viscount Heathfield since she was in leading strings. Unfortunately, it's been almost that long since she's laid eyes on her brother's old friend and vice versa. Tired of waiting for him to remember her, Emma pens a holiday invitation (in her brother's hand) to Heathfield and waits as patiently as she is able for her one true love to arrive.
Heath isn't quite certain what to make of the very strange summons he received, but his curiosity is most definitely piqued. He heads north to Danby Castle, only to find that his very orderly life is about to be turned upside down.

Where’s the Christmas?
When I read a regency Christmas, I expect something to indicate that it is Xmas. This could have been any random house party in any random 1800-1900 time period. Disappointing

A Counterfeit Christmas Summons
This was short story so things moved very quickly. But, it was fun. I’d love to listen to a full length book by Eva Stone, as she left me wanting to know more about the characters. I’m thinking her books would be fun and light! Narrator Gill Hoodless was very good.

Loved these characters
A Counterfeit Christmas Summons was a great little Christmas break. Remembering young love and our impatience, this story rang true. The importance of good communication and telling a good fabrication is paramount to understanding your would-be suitor. I love happy endings and heroines who believe in making things happen!
Ava Stone is becoming another favorite writer.

A Counterfeit Christmas
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. It is a very quick, short, fun read. The story is entertaining. There is romance, and humor in the story. Also a little mystery. Even though the story of Emma's twin sister was not told in this book, I read between the lines and felt like something was going on with her.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Emma was my favorite just because she was young and foolish and did things without thinking them through and then had to deal with the consequences of her actions! There was a lot of humor in her character.
What does Gill Hoodless bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I always remember the story a lot better and longer if I hear it instead of just read it.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Since it was a short read I was able to read it through in one sitting.
Any additional comments?
My first book by Ave Stone and I enjoyed it!
