Abigail Andrews' favorite time of the year finds her in a maid's position. Being more than excited, the dreadful rumors about her strange boss can not ruin her holiday spirit... Or can they?

Regency and Christmas stories are the perfect combination. Add in that Abigail is a maid. It made the story that much sweeter. Abigail is so sweet, but she has her strength and her opinions. She didn't let Ezra run all over her and oush her around. She was exactly what he needed to pull him out of his grief, anger, and sadness. She didn't bend to his will at every turn. When he insulted her, she called him out on it. When the drama happened, I was so disappointed in not just Ezra but Mary as well. How could she betray Abigail like that? It made me angry and so sad as well. Abigail did the right thing to walk away and call them both out on their crap. Thanks to Luke, which I hope he gets a happy ending too, Ezra was able to find the truth and grovel at Abigail's feet. I love the ending, and I can't wait to read more from this author.

DNF I tried really hard to like this book but none of the characters interested me very much. I even set it aside to go back and read later but found I just didn’t care enough to finish. This was surprising to me since I have enjoyed this author’s books in the past.
Is she a bad*ss or a wallflower? I couldn’t decide. He is a jerk all around. He has a lot of options to avoid meeting with her but doesn’t have the willpower to do so? Nah. Just not my kind of relationship. Love or lust? The title says lust.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author and was under no obligation to leave a favorable review. All opinions are my own

A very entertaining story
This is a very entertaining story that shows how the heart is not restricted by social boundaries. This steamy at times plot has some wonderfully crafted characters, with the two main ones, having quite a bumpy road to navigate. The extended epilogue gives you an insight into their hopes for the future. I read an ARC copy.

Charming
Really enjoyed the Duke's transformation. So sad that a young child would have to loose his parents and have no other family to help him through. Love and caring helped repair that part of his past.

So much more than a maid
Our here could hardly have been in a worse state of mind but a new maid appeared and slowly has world was tipped upright again.
A somewhat naughty and entirely enjoyable read.

I really enjoyed this seasonal Christmas story. Enjoyed the developing feelings between the hero and heroine. I love stories were you can feel this kind of love growing and where the strength of that love heals someone and the added bonus is it happens at Christmas a most joyous time of the year.

How Strong is Our Hearts
When someone is taken out of misery, loneliness, it makes life more hopeful. Sad how “class” is not classy at all!

This tale is kind of romantic, other than the "Demon Duke" hating Christmas, and instead finds love. It's sort of a Christmas Carol with the ghost of the past in the Duke's heart. Abigail is a spirited worman and really gives the Duke a run for his heart. This story has some serious society etiquette blunders, but it's excused because of the Duke being somewhat of a recluse. In the end, it's a fun read.
