In the first Yuletide tale, a duke decides to help himself to one of a young widow's twins, only to find she won't let him have her child. Her heart, on the other hand, is another matter. In the second story, a reformed rake falls for a lady whose reputation he's sullied-and he'll spend the twelve days of Christmas trying to right his wrong.
I enjoyed the reader from Ohio's review a great deal, and I agreed with many of the assessments it contained. The only comment with which I disagreed was the one about the pig; Juneclaire's pet pig was the best part of the second story, and I actually thought it was a sweet element. Metzger's descriptions of the pig made me laugh so hard a couple of times that my eyes watered! When a Regency book can do that for me, I consider myself well entertained. The pig was my favorite character, and it doesn't strike me as a bad sign. I read romances to escape and be entertained, and I was able to do that with this one.
