When widowed Lady Millicent Copley is invited to spend Christmas in Devonshire, she meets the much sought-after bachelor, the Marquis of Wetherby, whom she thinks a cad. He believes her to be mouse. But Lady Millicent's son, Rupert, thinks the Marquis is the answer to his prayers, and he is willing to carry out an outrageous scheme to help him get his Christmas wish--a new father.
I read this book and was so taken by it. It made me laugh out loud (which books rarely do) and made me cry. It is very well written, with a real ear for dialogue. Also, it was good, CLEAN (very important) fun. It's a story about a widow and her six-year-old son (who is a real scene-stealer, and just simply adorable and HILARIOUS), who must catch a ride with a nobleman to a christmas gala. This ride takes two weeks (as travel was slow back then) and much mayhem, and of course, romance, ensues. It is very sweet and nice. I highly recommend it.
