The Duke's Winter Romance: A Historical Regency Romance Novel
Eliza Fairchild never expected a winter wedding to place her at the center of unwanted attention. Nevertheless, trapped at Briarwood Hall by a fierce snowstorm, she finds herself surrounded by gossip and scrutiny she cannot escape. Outspoken and honest, she has long accepted that she is unlikely to make a suitable match. Yet, when an innocent misunderstanding begins to twist everything around her, one man’s attention becomes harder to ignore…
Sebastian Hale, Duke of Northmere, has spent years rebuilding his family’s standing and now lives by strict control to protect it. He avoids anything that might unsettle that order, especially women who refuse to follow society’s rules. Therefore, Eliza should be a risk he keeps at a distance, and yet she unsettles him in ways he cannot explain, making restraint increasingly difficult…
As the storm keeps the guests confined to Briarwood Hall, a forged letter threatens to destroy Eliza's reputation and implicate Sebastian in a scandal of his own. Uncovering the truth draws them closer, but can they expose the culprit before they lose everything, including their newfound love?

This looked good on the cover.
This was tedious. Far to much going on in the heads of the characters and not nearly enough conversation. I was skipping pages just to get to some dialogue. I was disappointed in this book.

The Duke's Winter Romance
I didn't finish it. It was too much for me. They were stuck in a snow storm. Point blank. I have been stuck in a snow storm.

I gave it 3 stars because it was too long and drawn out. A lot of redundancy.
