My take: This novella was originally part of the anthology: What Happens Under the Mistletoe and was recently released as a single short e-book.
Georgiana and Lucas find themselves together at a Christmas house party that was supposed to have been hosted by her father. They haven’t seen each other in two years and are not on good terms because of what happened two years ago. Lucas works for or with Georgiana’s father and has been given an assignment that involves the house party. There’s some animosity on the part of both and each feels justified in feeling that way. Their repartee was enjoyable. I normally find novellas lacking but I thought Meredith Duran did a great job developing her characters and story. If you enjoy historical romance novellas with a Christmas theme you might like Sweetest Regret. I’d love to read one of her full-length novels.
Mary, I’m glad you enjoyed this novella. Novellas seem to gain popularity at this busy time of the year. 🙂

I don’t read novellas very often, although the occasional prequel has shown up on my stack. This one sounds perfect for this time of year. Thanks for sharing!

I agree, Kathryn. I’ve read plenty that fall short of the mark, in my opinion.

I like a novella for introducing me to a new author without the time commitment of a full length book. I love that she made a novella really work which can be super hard to do. I’ll have to check this out!
