Purchase on Amazon
I truly enjoy a good holiday story. There is something magical about a story that takes place during the Christmas season. This is why I love recommending books as part of my yearly gift guide. I also love finding new authors.
Book Description
She’s discovered his secret.
Now the trouble really begins...
After three years of mourning--and turning her dear deceased husband’s gazette into the ton’s sauciest source of fashion and gossip--Hollis Honeycutt feels her life has been strangely bereft of late... Her sister is living abroad, and her best friend moved to the country. What must a young widow of rank and reputation do? Why, transform her society gossip sheets into serious investigative news, starting with a rumored coup...and the rather dashing, mysterious gentleman whom Hollis suspects might be the villain of her first real story, and she is the only one who can write it.
Marek Brendan is investigating terrible rumors of treachery and treason that threaten his home country of Wesloria, but he must proceed with caution. No one can discover the truth. After all, who would ever believe he is Wesloria’s lost, crown prince? Only Hollis Honeycutt’s cerulean-blue eyes seem to know more than she’s letting on--and worse, Marek can’t seem to resist her curious charms. But even as betrayal threatens a nation and a throne, nothing is quite so dangerous as the lovely young widow who’s determined to find the truth...and a prince of her own.

I am new to Julia London's writing. I am also new to this series having downloaded the book without fully being aware that it was the third in a series I felt like I was missing something. Kind of like you walked into a room right in the mif\ddle of someone telling a story.
Now with that said there were things sI did enjoy about the story. I loved that the author gave me intrigue, romance, and just enough sprinkle of holiday cheer to make it a great holiday read.
I enjoyed the character of Hollis. She is strong, smart, and educated. She is also very open about her feelings. Our hero Marek is rather closed off due to his past but I love seeing him open up to Hollis.
I also love how I got to see Hollis go from someone in mourning and feeling left out to a woman who bloomed with love.
Though I would highly recommend reading the books prior to this so you can be more fully involved in the story it was a lovely read for the holidays.
