A laugh-out-loud romp from a New York Times bestselling author: Meg Church adores two things: life in a village of perennial Yuletide, and the freedom of being a spinster with no reputation to protect. Oh, very well, three things: She’s harbored a secret tendre for Christmas curmudgeon Lucien le Duc since the moment she first glimpsed him. But the sexy blacksmith won’t give her the time of day, … But the sexy blacksmith won’t give her the time of day, much less a night of torrid passion.
Ever since Lucien le Duc was forced to flee his beloved France during the revolution, his all-consuming goal has been to recover not only his lost land and fortune, but also his rightful place among the French aristocracy. He would never be distracted by an English dairy maid’s sultry glances… or her soul-consuming kisses… or the temptation to turn one night into forever…
The 12 Dukes of Christmas is a series of heartwarming Regency romps nestled in a picturesque snow-covered village. Twelve delightful romances… and plenty of delicious dukes!

I have just finished reading this book and I still have a smile on my face! That has got to count for something.
This story shows that you can take two people with different backgrounds and with just a little bit of communication they can meet on common ground and make a happy life for themselves.
Both main characters in this story have unique strengths and weaknesses and this is what I love about Erica Ridley’s writing – she makes her characters human with feelings and emotions, with their own outlooks on life and how to live it and I can really relate to that.
The story is beautifully written, moves quickly and is interesting and so I am recommending it to you.
I read an Advance Reader Copy (ARC) and this is my voluntary and unbiased review.
