The Duke and Duchess Trap by Valerie Bowman
Reminded me of The Parent Trap movie! The Duke and his Duchess parted more than a decade before, but their twin girls bring them back together and help them re-discover their feelings for each other.
Sophie and the Duke by Tiffany Clare
Sophie and her Duke were childhood friends, but they haven't seen each other for 15 years. When they meet again during a masked ball, he is instantly attracted to her, making her the perfect choice to be his bride. Reminded me a little of Cinderella, complete with an evil stepmother and stepsister.
The Duke’s Christmas Wish by Vivienne Lorret
The Duke thinks himself a matchmaker, until he meets Ivy. Unfortunately Ivy could never be anyone's match due to her lineage, and that made for a few heartbreaking moments until he realizes there is more to the perfect match than titles, money and interests.
One Magic Season by Ashlyn Macnamara
Beautiful story about a second chance at love. The Duke and Patience finally got the chance to be with the one they love without family interference.
I loved this anthology full of Christmas magic and romance!

I received an ARC for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own.
from THE DUKE’S CHRISTMAS WISH by Vivienne Lorret
By the time he cleared his
head, Miss Sutherland was taking a few hurried backward steps. When she turned
around, she ran headlong into him with a surprisedOh! and then an oof!
North stumbled back into
the ascending room. He did everything he could to remain upright. Planting his
feet wide, he was forced to hold her against the sturdy column of his body.
Forced to grasp her arms. Which, incidentally, were bare between her
velvet-trimmed cap sleeves and elbow-length gloves. Bare beneath his hands.
Bare, warm, and softer than goose down.
A shudder—that was more
about untamed desire than preoccupation—quaked through him to his very core.
Staring down into her almond-shaped eyes, he watched as they widened and swept
over his features, from brow to chin. Her gaze lingered a fraction longer on
his mouth, as if she was waiting for him to speak or, perhaps, waiting for him
to kiss her.
He took a moment to
speculate whether it was the former or the latter. In the seconds that passed,
he catalogued how her hands were resting against his chest, not pressing as if
she wanted to gain her freedom but curled slightly as if trying to capture the
beat of his heart in the cup of her palms. Also, she made no movement to
separate from him. Her breathing was rapid—though perhaps that was the result
of running down the hall. When she wet her lips, however, she provided an
irrefutable answer.
VALERIE BOWMAN grew up in Illinois with six sisters (she’s number
seven) and a huge supply of historical romance novels. After a cold and snowy stint
earning a degree in English with a minor in history at Smith College, she moved
to Florida the first chance she got. Valerie now lives in Jacksonville with her
family including her rascally dog, Roo. When she’s not writing, she keeps busy
reading, traveling, or vacillating between watching crazy reality TV and PBS.
USA Today bestselling author VIVIENNE LORRET loves
romance novels, her pink laptop, her husband, and her two sons (not necessarily
in that order ... but there are days). Transforming copious amounts of tea into
words, she is proud to be an Avon Impulse author of works including: Tempting
Mr. Weatherstone, The Wallflower Wedding Series, and the Rakes of Fallow Hall
series.
Deciding that life had far more to offer than a nine to five
job, bickering children and housework of any kind (unless she’s on a deadline
when everything is magically spotless),TIFFANY CLARE opened up her
laptop to write stories she could get lost in. Tiffany writes sexy historical
romances set in the Victorian era. She lives in Toronto with her husband, two
kids and two dogs.
USA Today bestselling author ASHLYN MACNAMARA writes
Regency romance with a dash of wit and a hint of wicked. She considers writing
her mid-life crisis but reckons it’s safer than hang-gliding or rock-climbing.
She lives in the wilds of suburbia outside Montreal with her husband, two
teenage daughters, and one loudmouth cat. Although she writes about the past,
you can find her in such newfangled places as her website Facebook, and
Twitter.
