Seduction on a Snowy Night by Mary Jo Putney, Madeline Hunter & Sabrina Jeffries book review

Going into this book, I had high expectations. Three rock star romance authors coming together to write a Christmas themed romance novel? Yes, please! This book doesn’t disappoint. Readers will get three happily ever afters...what more could a reader want for the holidays?

In the first story, A Christmas Abduction by Madeline Hunter, Caroline is trying to unravel the mystery that her sister, Amelia’s pregnancy came about. Amelia is keeping secrets and the new Baron Thronhill bears the brunt of Caroline’s scorn. She is conflicted when she finds herself falling for him. Caroline has fallen from high society, so there is a bit of a class issue going on. Our hero finds redemption, we have a fierce heroine to get to know, a little bit of mystery and a happy ending. A perfect winter getaway.

In our next story, A Perfect Match by Sabrina Jeffries, our heroine is secretly rich. She keeps it a secret because she does not want to end up married for the wrong reasons. She is very close with her cousin Kitty, who has many qualities but faces a reading disability that was probably not known in Regency England. So, that was a bit of an unusual, but powerful twist that leads to a happy ending in this story. Just like in the first story, there is a bit of abduction going on here which makes the story that much more exciting.

Finally, we get to Mary Jo Putney’s story, One Wicked Winter Night. Personally, wickedness is a tempting seduction...so it starts off right by just the title 😍 Lady Diana Lawrence is pretty much on the shelf. She has spent the majority of her life traveling the world and has found life to be richer without the strict societal expectations of the upper class. She has spent a lot of time living in India but realizes that it might be time to head home to England because “home” is still a pretty powerful force. Lady Diana ends up at a masquerade ball with the Duke of Castleton and the flame that burned between them has still not been extinguished. Diana is not really interested in being shackled to a man, so the Duke decides to kidnap her cat. There are some laugh out loud parts in the dialogue that make this story totally worth reading.

I loved all three stories and I think it’s perfect for winter reading. If you are looking to buy Christmas presents for your favorite romance readers, this is a great choice! I hope you love it as much as I did.
