In the snow-kissed splendor of Regency England, a jaded lord with a scandalous past and a heartbroken lady determined to avoid love find themselves irresistibly drawn together in a chance meeting. Lady Eleanor Winthrop has sworn off marriage after a broken engagement. Her fierce independence and sharp wit are her shields against a world that has let her down.
Lord Alexander Harrington, Marquess Rockingham, is a dashing rake with a reputation as notorious as it is scandalous. Rather unfortunate for a man who’s grown weary of vice. Seeking a fresh start, he arrives in Lancashire, inheriting Netherfield Park and hoping to leave his past behind.
Their paths cross in the village, and a magnetic attraction ignites between them. As the festive season approaches, Eleanor hosts a grand Christmas ball, drawing the attention of local gossips and igniting scandalous rumors. Determined to set things right, Eleanor risks her heart and reputation, discovering a man worthy of redemption and love, while Alexander discovers that love is the best gift of all.
Amidst the enchanting Lancashire winter, their love blossoms against a backdrop of falling snow and twinkling stars, Eleanor and Alexander find a passionate second chance at love, proving the magic of the holiday season and the power of second chances.
Rogue Under the Mistletoe is a heartwarming Regency Romance filled with secrets, scandals, and the enchanting spirit of Christmas, perfect for listeners who believe in the transformative power of love.

A year ago, I reluctantly erased my true other half’s memories of our time together. She said that if we were truly meant to be married, our souls would find each other again. Now, I’ve illegally traveled to Earth and have found her alone in a secluded cabin. I only have a few days to convince her of who I am to her. But the odds are against me. She didn’t recognize me on sight, no longer has a translator, and sees me as an alien. But I refuse to give up. There is no one else for me in the galaxy.

Once again I bang on the connecting door to my dorm room, trying to be heard over the blaring music coming from the other side. My bestie should be living in that room, but no, she transferred to be with her boyfriend and now I'm stuck sharing a wall with stupidly hot track star, Cal Chase. My friends say I'm lucky, but his mere presence annoys me, along with his late-night music and the constant gaggle of giggly girls who visit. I'm the only one who can see right through that patented Cal Charm. He's just another player and I'm not game.

I was a workaholic executive—until I almost died. It took a near-death experience to get my priorities straight, And I knew big changes had to be made. Priority #1 was spending more time with my kids and mother, So I quit my job and bought a beach house on Cape Cod. With the sun on my face and my toes in the sand, I met one of the beach rangers, Who turned out to be the hot single dad next door. Dylan helped me move some furniture, And I offered him dinner to thank him for his trouble— Not knowing it would end with dessert.

Massive Holiday Spirit, Excellent Until ...
I absolutely adored the beginning and end of the story! The first half or so is all about preparations for a Christmas Eve ball, and the author certainly brought the holiday spirit. It was all era correct, like holiday colors and decor and the actual emphasis on Christmas being the time of group celebration—back in the day, Twelfth Night was bigger for group holiday gatherings. Despite this quibble, the first half of the story was just pure holiday fun. The heroine's joy in putting together her first ball was infectious … not just to the shopkeepers and tradesmen she visited to order things to create the perfect ball, but also for the reader!
I wasn't wild about the narrator. I found her voice heavy and ponderous, adding to the melodrama, which needed no augmentation. Probably thanks to the entire Bridgerton phenomenon, more and more Regency audiobooks are being narrated by someone who sounds a little like Lady Whistledown in that series, though no narrator is Vanessa Redgrave! As one who listens to a lot of Regency audiobooks, I much prefer younger-sounding narrators of either gender. I want my narrator to at least sound like he or she could be the hero or heroine! That helps me get into the story.
The end of the book is just as romantic and sweet as the first part of the book, as the hero and heroine wed and start their new life together. But before this HEA, just after the ball ended—and I mean the morning right after the ball—the book took a sharp pivot that seemed to come out of nowhere and in no way reflected either the holiday spirit or what went on before in the story: a villain pops up out of nowhere, the heroine’s formerly gracious mother becomes an intractable shrew, and most who were so kind to the heroine as she planned the fete were quick to believe a known gossip salacious statements that cast aspersions on the generous young noblewoman. This book has an instant attraction between the hero and heroine I didn't quite buy; I wanted to see a bit more of them getting to know each other before it's all hearts, flowers, and “I loved you madly.” The story flip-flopped so fast that I almost felt as though my head were spinning! But I had enough invested in the characters I kept going; at least the end brought it back to the holiday spirit (though their multiple professions of forever undying love still didn't sit right). The holiday spirit that imbued so much of the book makes this a worthy enough read despite the melodramatic and perplexing middle.

Charming romance
Rogue Under the Mistletoe is a charming and festive Regency romance that brings together two wounded souls during the magical Christmas season. Lady Eleanor Winthrop, heartbroken and disillusioned after a broken engagement, has sworn off love, relying on her sharp wit and independence to navigate society. Meanwhile, Lord Alexander Harrington, Marquess Rockingham, is a notorious rake ready to leave his scandalous past behind for a fresh start in the English countryside.
The plot takes a delightful turn when fate brings them together in Lancashire, where Eleanor is hosting a Christmas ball that sets the local rumor mill spinning. The chemistry between Eleanor and Alexander is magnetic from their very first encounter, and the backdrop of a snow-kissed English winter adds an extra layer of romance and charm to their developing relationship.
Amanda Mariel beautifully captures the spirit of the holiday season, weaving in elements of redemption, second chances, and the undeniable magic of Christmas. The blossoming romance between Eleanor and Alexander feels natural, despite the barriers of past hurts and societal expectations. Mariel's descriptive prose transports listeners to a world of festive balls, snow-dusted landscapes, and tender moments under mistletoe.
Narrator Marion Hussey brings the characters and setting to life with her polished and emotive performance. Her ability to differentiate between characters adds depth to the story, allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves in the drama and passion of this Regency tale. Hussey perfectly captures Eleanor’s fierce independence and Alexander’s vulnerability, enhancing the overall emotional impact of the audiobook.
If you’re looking for a heartwarming holiday romance that balances scandal, redemption, and the enchanting spirit of Christmas, Rogue Under the Mistletoe is a must-listen. With its rich storytelling and excellent narration, this audiobook will leave you believing in the power of love and second chances, even in the most unlikely of circumstances.

Historical Christmas romance
Rogue Under the Mistletoe is a standalone historical romance by Amanda Mariel. It is set in Regency England during the winter, surrounding a wealthy family's Christmas ball.
Lord Alexander Harrington, the new Marquess of Rockingham, is nothing short of a scandalous rake - at least to the Society gossips. While some of that reputation is well earned, Alex has recently been reflecting on his life. He knows he needs to create a change in his life, and getting out of town and back to his family's land seems to be the thing to do. Meanwhile, Lady Eleanor Winthrop is a proper. She has had her heartbroken after a failed engagement and she has basically given up on love.
I've read this book before, but I enjoyed enough at the time that I wanted to hear the audio performance. I found that narrator Virginia Ferguson really brought both Alexander and Eleanor to life. It was a really relaxing read - and at not much more than 2 hours, it was a great audio for my commute and part of my work day.
