Deck the Halls with Love by Lorraine Heath
Series: Lost Lords or Pembrook #2.5

4 Stars - After reading about Chetwyn in the second story. I wasn't sure if I liked him or not, however by the end of that book he had turned out to be a good guy, and I quite enjoyed him as the hero of his own story! Merry and Chetwyn have wonderful chemistry and I felt this was a sweet short story that left me with a warm fuzzy feeling.

Part of my 25 Books for the Holidays for 2012

How the Deck the Halls with Love put me in the Holiday Spirit: This was a very quick read with just the right setting for a holiday romance.

What I thought of the characters/story: Deck the Halls with Love packed in romance, love, and some very swoon-worthy moments. Y’all I about cried when not only did he want all her dances but he also gave her choices. Oh my, I love when leading men are all about what is best for the leading lady. I loved that she finally saw through farce that was her current suitor and went with the far better man! In 100 pages this story made me fall in love with their love story. Not something that happens very often!

DECK THE HALLS WITH LOVE by Lorraine Heath is another exciting historical romance in set Regency England. "A Lost Lords of Pembrooke" novella, but can be read as a stand alone. See," She Tempts the Duke",and "Lord of Temptation". Another quick fun read. Fast paced and filled with guilt,passion, misunderstandings,love,miracles, and second chances. A wonderful holiday read,however, to me needed a more satisfied ending. Lady Meredith Hargreaves and Alistair Wakefield, the Marquess of Chetwyn find themselves in a compromising position and must swim or drown.But with the holiday season approaching miracles of not only the heart but of forgiveness may happen. Can true love find happiness? Pick up "Deck The Halls With Love" to find out. Engaging characters and interesting plot. Received for an honest review from the publisher and Above the Treeline.

REVIEWED BY: AprilR, My Book Addiction and More/My Book Addiction Reivews ( )

Novella about the character of Chetwyn who had been the jilted fiance of Anna in the last Pembrook novel. His desire for Meredith consumes him while at a house party at the Duke of Pembrook's house at Christmas time. This was okay, but seemed to just sort of meander around. Meredith's character wasn't much, but it was nice to revisit the characters and see what's new with them while waiting for Rafe's story to come out. ( )
