Synopsis
Miss Mary Perkins is governess to the strong-willed Stringham sisters while waiting for her beloved Mr. Trevor Wallace, a curate, to receive a living so that they can afford to marry. When he loses the promised position, her young charges decide to give their governess a husband for Christmas. The Stringham sisters write a fake letter from the duke inviting Trevor to stay at the castle, lock the pair in the dungeon, accidentally poison a chaplain, and cause a great deal of mayhem with mistletoe. Despite the girls’ well-meaning mistakes, will Mary and Trevor finally have the wedding of their dreams?“Only the Stringham girls would try to matchmake in a dungeon,” Mary said with a little snicker that was positively adorable. “And if you ignore the torture artifacts, it is a rather romantic location with firelight.”
Review
This was such a fun read. I loved the Stringham sister when I first met them so it was a lot of fun to get more of them in this Christmas novella. They don’t hold back on setting Miss Perkin’s up with her beloved Trevor Wallace. Even locking them in the dungeon.
It’s been too many years now since their proposal and Miss Perkin’s is unsure of what she wants to do when Trevor sends her a letter giving her permission to call off the engagement. But when she finds him in the dungeon’s after being led down there by her wards she knows that the only person she’ll ever love is Trevor.
I enjoyed this book so much. It’s a quick read at 73 pages but it’s filled with swoony romance, family love and hope. It’s the perfect historical romance to get you in the mood for the holidays.
