Christmas Spirit

By Patricia Wynn

Book Overview

HER MAGIC MEANT NOTHING IF SHE COULDNT HAVE HIM! Lovely, mischievous Trudy was an elf who forever sought adventure, but this time her playful tricks had gone awry. As a wager, she had taken on human form, becoming a green eyed beauty Sir Matthew Dunstone couldn't resist. Luring him willingly into her world of magic and mist was the game at hand, but now the trick had lost all appeal. She was burdened by her treachery--Trudy had fallen in love. When she was with Matthew, she felt so different, so . . . human. His kiss tasted of things she could never duplicate in her world: trust, hope, free will. But when he learned of her deception, would he come with her? For she could never remain in the human world--although 'twas Christmas, and perhaps she might wish for a miracle. . . .

One to share with a friend

I almost passed this one by. I love historical romance and I thought this might be too frivolous. Boy was I wrong! Ms. Wynn was able to tell a delightful tale about a female elf trying to seduce a human male to win a dare by her elfin brother. Well known for their beauty, this elfin maid embarks on this adventure, certain that she will win the man's heart, but unaware that she will lose her own. The characters are well developed(and surprisingly believable!) and the story line is very interesting, yet it is a quick-read just right for the holidays. What could have been a silly story is in fact a heartwarming tale full of humour, adventure and romance. I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a light-hearted, entertaining tale.

Mischievous elf saves malaria victim in time for Christmas

This book has every quality that makes a book a masterpiece. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and when I finished reading it, I was filled with elation that there was an author out there with the ability to make me feel that way. Wynn creates a magical experience unrivaled by any other. With a beautiful cover and a sparkling plot, The Christmas Spirit is a fantasy rivaling any one of Jane Austen's titles

Trudy the elf falls in love with a human man

Trudy/Faye is a terrific character, and Matthew is a dark, broody man who perfectly offsets Trudy's mannerisms. This is a love story to read again and again. Ms. Wynn is a great writer. A must-read for the X-Mas holidays
