The "fallen" ladies of Puddledon Manor's Benevolent Home are determined to rise above scandal - and forge a sparkling new future operating their own brewery and alehouse....

With Christmas around the corner, Miss Caroline Anderson hoped to persuade a London tavern owner to carry the Home's Widow's Brew - only to discover the dastard was more interested in her ankles than her ale! To her further annoyance, her stagecoach back to Little Puddledon is waylaid by louts and a snow-covered ditch. Amid a nasty storm, Caro seeks shelter at a nearby estate - only to be greeted by Viscount Oakland, a.k.a. Nick, her brother's childhood friend - and her schoolgirl crush. Now, he's the half-dressed host of what is clearly a holiday bacchanal. Still, his house is irresistibly warm....

Ever the free spirit, Nick has invited the wilder gentleman of the ton, and an assortment of London's lightskirts, to celebrate Christmas in a more traditional, pagan fashion. So, he's surprised to find Caro at his door. Now, with a blizzard raging, he must take her in - despite his fear she won't take to his guests, and worse, upend his party. But she may surprise him - and upend his life....

Contains mature themes.

Far too much inner conversation, I forgot what the actual conversation was about, they dithered in circles, while people could have died in the snow! a bit of thought sharing is expected, but this was over the top! the first book in the series was better.

Annoying

I did like the storyline but felt like there was too much bedroom activity between the two main characters, would have enjoyed it more if there were more interaction between more characters . Narrative excellent!

Good

I really enjoyed this love story. Wonderful characters presented with sensitivity and much humor. Can’t wait to read final book in this trilogy.

Great story. Much Humor

cute story, but I think she could have cut the length in half just by reducing the amount of internal repetitive monologue.

cute but repetitive

Way too much internal chatter, which makes for a boring book. Internal chatter is also very repetitive. Best thing is Justine Eyre, she is a terrific narrator. Interesting story...but not exactly for the faint of heart. A Christmas party that is uncomfortable, ladies of the night, stories of rape and abuse and the heroine is an ale brew master. Has some cute moments and if there was more story and dialog...and less repeated blather...could have been quite good.

Not your typical Christmas story.

I wanted a Christmas romance not a diatribe on rape culture and trauma! I couldn't finish chapter 5. Horrible! The narrator was the only good thing. Do not waste your $ or time unless you enjoy wallowing in a lecture about the evils of men always and everywhere!

Horrible!!!!
