You are cordially invited to Christmas at Millworth Manor. . . Camille, Lady Lydingham, requests the pleasure of your company at a festive house party, as she endeavors to coax a marriage proposal from Prince Nikolai Pruzinsky of Greater Avalonia. The hostess's relatives will be in attendance--in this case, a troupe of actors hired to impersonate a proper English family in order to fool the Prince. Gate-crashing, distractingly handsome first loves like Grayson Elliott are most unwelcome. Games will be played. Motives will be revealed. Mayhem may ensue. And hearts will be won--and lost--in the most romantic, magical season of all. Please RSVP "Cleverly conceived and flawlessly executed: the perfect holiday treat." - The Chicago Tribune "Alexander's divine Victorian Christmas confection provides an abundance of wit and warmth." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Not so much a romance as a farce, but very entertaining. The main characters are occasionally frustrating but the whole gels together in a very easy read, very typical of this author.
