Description from the publisher:
Denied the woman of his dreams by
his father’s meddling, Calder Stafford, has spent the last decade proving
himself to be self-sufficient, austere, and utterly uninterested in joy. Now that he is the Duke of Hartwell, he’ll
enact his revenge by abolishing the holiday traditions his father loved so
well. His sisters will not sway him and
neither will the woman—newly returned to town—who was stolen from him.
Returning to Hartwell to care for
her mother, widow Felicity Garland is delighted to be back home, especially for
the holidays. However, the jolly
festivities she expects are nowhere to be found. When she goes to the source of the problem—the
duke—she’s astonished to see how much the young man she once loved has
hardened. It’s up to her to break
through the impenetrable fortress around his heart—not just to save Christmas,
but to save him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JOY TO THE DUKE is the third book in
the Love Is All Around series. The three
stories in this trilogy are all happening simultaneously, so you could read
them in any order, but I recommend you read them in the order of release.
There may not have been three
ghosts, but there are two sisters and Felicity – the girl he never forgot. As you may have guessed from my description,
this book is lovingly wrapped around Charles Dickens’ A CHRISTMAS CAROL with
Calder cast as Scrooge. There has never
been a rendition of Scrooge that I didn’t love from Mickey Mouse to Albert
Finney to Patrick Stewart.
There are moments that are hilarious
with childish antics and others that are terrifyingly emotional, but it is all
filled with love, hope, and eventually the joy of Christmas and family.
May your Christmas be as blessed as
those at Hartwell and Hartwood.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC
via NetGalley, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
