Mistletoe Christmas

An Anthology

By: Eloisa James, Christi Caldwell, Janna MacGregor, Erica Ridley

Narrated by: Susan Duerden

From four beloved writers—Eloisa James, Christi Caldwell, Janna MacGregor, and Erica Ridley—come four original stories that tell a hilarious tale of a Christmas house party that serves up love and scandal in equal measure!

The Duke of Greystoke’s Christmas Revelry is famous throughout the British Isles for its plays, dancing, magical grotto… not to mention scandals leading to the marriage licenses he hands out like confetti.

But not everyone welcomes a visit from Cupid.

Lady Cressida, the duke’s daughter, is too busy managing the entertainments—and besides, her own father has called her dowdy. Her cousin, Lady Isabelle Wilkshire, is directing Cinderella and has no interest in marriage. Lady Caroline Whitmore is already (unhappily) married; the fact that she and her estranged husband have to pretend to be together just makes her dread the party all the more. But not as much as Miss Louisa Harcourt, whose mother bluntly tells her that this is her last chance to escape the horrors of being an old maid.

A house party so large that mothers lose track of their charges leads to a delightful, seductive quartet of stories that you will savor for the Season!

Stories were great. Narration pretty awful.

I could hardly finish listening to the stories because the narration was so grating and distracting.
The cadence, and the rise and fall of the narrators voice sounded like I was listening to hours of a British news presenter

splendidly magnificent.

I liked the Household interworking drama's that sort of weaved the character's together in a good tight knit community fashion.

This was so much fun!

I liked the first and last stories best. They were certainly the cheeriest. The two stories in the middle were more moving and powerful but also upsetting, especially the married couple. They had happy endings but stressful middles. My only complaint is about not hearing more on the duke and his heir at the end. I could use closure on their stories.

I loved all the four stories! Glad I ignored the reviews. I listened to them with little sleep in between. Started on the way home from work. Tine to go back just finished the last story. I love Christmas novellas.

2 out of 4

Not as I expected. 2 out of 4 isn't to bad but could be better.
The first and the last were good the 2 other ones were disapointing for me.
