A Christmas Gone Perfectly Wrong: A Blackshear Family novella
A Christmas Gone Perfectly Wrong: A Blackshear Family novella | Cecilia Grant
9 posts | 11 read | 4 to read
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SIMPLE...
With one more errand to go--the purchase of a hunting falcon--Andrew Blackshear has Christmas completely under control. As his sister's impending marriage signals the inevitable drifting-apart of the Blackshear family, it's his last chance to give his siblings the sort of memorable, well-planned holiday their parents could never seem to provide.
He has no time to dawdle, no time for nonsense, and certainly no time to drive the falconer's vexing, impulsive, lush-lipped, midnight-haired daughter to a house party before heading home. So why the devil did he agree to do just that?
IT COULDN'T BE MORE DELICIOUSLY MIXED-UP...
Lucy Sharp has been waiting all her too-quiet life for an adventure, and she means to make the most of this one. She's going to enjoy the house party as no one has ever enjoyed a house party before, and in the meanwhile she's going to enjoy every minute in the company of amusingly stern, formidably proper, outrageously handsome Mr. Blackshear. Let him disapprove of her all he likes--it's not as though they'll see each other again after today.
...or will they? When a carriage mishap and a snowstorm strand the pair miles short of their destination, threatening them with scandal and jeopardizing all their Christmas plans, they'll have to work together to save the holiday from disaster. And along the way they just might learn that the best adventures are the ones you never would have thought to plan.

Finished out my holiday reading by the light of a lil' tree and a gingerbread candle. A fun accompaniment to a fun book!

I can‘t recall who told me I needed to read this book but they were right! Charming holiday read, grumpy hero, love at first sight and falconry 😉 Can‘t go wrong with that! Hijinks ensue and I enjoyed this so much I‘ll likely try another in the series.

So I don't know how I feel about this and my first attempt at a review got deleted. It definitely had lovely moments and the emotional arc really worked for me. But, and this might be because I haven't been reading historicals in the last few years, it felt overwritten in parts and I didn't love all the dialogue or descriptions. I'm not sure I could handle a full novel. Still, I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a cute Christmas novella!

#bookandcoffee and a Christmas romance! Amazon says I got a copy of this last year. I saw it on the book's page when I thought of one-clicking it. I still haven't read it! I think I have way too many Christmas romances in my Kindle, I'm so behind.

Chachic @MeganB The cafe is called Strangers At Work and I think the text in the cup is their motto! ☕💖 7y

🎄🎄🎄 More Christmas romance! This time a historical, which, imho is the best kind of Christmas romance. House parties!! Greenery gathering! Literal hall decking! It's great and this one is currently free if your interested 🙋🏻
