Blurb:

In GREAT SCOT by Suzanne Enoch, Jane Bansil knows she will never have a fairy-tale life. But even at three-and-thirty and well past marriageable age, though, she has to admit that the architect the MacTaggerts have hired could turn even a confirmed spinster’s head.

In CHRISTMAS AT DEWBERRY HOLLOW by Amelia Grey, Isabelle Reed has no plans to ever fall in love. Certainly not with Gate, a man who doesn’t live in Dewberry Hollow. She will fulfill her duty and help him keep his promise to have his ill grandfather back in London in time for Christmas dinner. The last thing Isabelle wants is for Gate to take her heart with him when he goes.

In MY MISTLETOE BEAU by Anna Bennett, Miss Eva Tiding is determined to cheer her widowed father with the perfect Christmas gift. Even if it means breaking into the home of the rakish earl who swindled Papa out of his pocket watch and pretending to date the earl for the Christmas season.

Review:

Three great historical romance authors come together this holiday season to take us back in time to enjoy the magic of the holidays in historic Scotland with three stories of love and mischief. I picked up this novel primarily for the novella by Suzanne Enoch, but the other two are great as well and I am glad I read all three stories. All of the stories were wonderful in their own right and I can say that the magic and passion in each were interesting. Great Scot was certainly my favorite as we got hints of the MacTaggerts and the love that they found with their mates in the previous stories in the series, as well as watching them return to their clan seat in Scotland and finally seeing their mother return home for the first time in decades. Jane’s love story as she found love with Brennan when he was pulled in to help with the keep upgrades, was fun and sweet, as they were both just that little bit awkward and unsure of themselves despite the chemistry and attraction they shared. She had the bravery to risk her future and heart on a man that sparked emotions in her she'd never felt before but that made her the happiest she had ever felt. Brennan knew immediately that Jane was the one that could finally fulfill all the dreams he had for his own happiness and he worked hard to convince her that they were meant to be. Christmas At Dewberry Hollow is the story of John who is trying to fulfill his grandfather’s dying promise to his wife and in doing so John meets Isabelle and the two of them work together to reach that goal. The more time they spend together though, the more they lose their hearts to one another and soon both of them are under the spell of holiday love and it became obvious that to be happy in the future they have to be brave enough to be together. My Mistletoe Beau finds Eva in a desperate bid to cheer up her father and in doing so she gets in trouble with Jack, the Earl that now holds her future in his hands. Soon Jack and Eva are wrapped up in one another and the passion that they share is heated and amazingly hilarious at times as their witty repartee and sarcastic comments kept me laughing. No denying these two were made for one another and they just needed the magic of the holidays to find one another. These three novels each had their own personalities and level of passion, but it’s safe to say that together they supplied laughter, tears, love, and the sweetness of lovers losing their hearts during the holidays. I was thrilled to have the chance to read all three of these novellas combined into one magic book and enjoyed every moment of the reading experience.
