Description:
The Marquis of Wythebury, is expecting an
ordinary Christmastide at Hurst—until he is set upon by a beautiful miss who
takes him to task for not allowing his young nephews to play outside. In his
mind, a five and seven year old needn’t get chilled in the snow; better to plop
them in front of the fire with a book. Few people have ever been brave enough
to challenge him over anything, much less the rearing of his wards. The cheeky
Miss Prim has no such compunction. No matter how fetching he finds her, he can’t
give in to his attraction…for she is the sister of his best friend.
Growing up the middle child of five
rambunctious girls, Lillian Prim doesn’t understand why two young boys visiting
Hurst don’t know how to play until she meets their dashing guardian. The
Marquis of Wythebury is commanding and intensely serious-minded. To her
surprise, she’s captivated by him. It’s all she can do not to give into her
feminine fantasies about her kissing him. Lillian has no intention of falling
in love with the Marquis, but she will create Christmastide mischief and teach
the boys and the handsome
Marquis how to play, in Mistletoe,
Mischief, and the Marquis, by New
York Times bestselling author Amelia Grey.

I found Mistletoe, Mischief, and the Marquis
while browsing Net-Galley for Christmas stories. The book description sound
interesting, and since I always enjoy Christmas tale with children, I requested it in exchange for an honest review.
Seth Wythebury, Marquis of Wythebury is looking forward to a
relaxing time away from his responsibilities. While attending a house party at
his friend’s estate with his two young nephews, he encounters Miss Lillian
Prim, the sister-in-law to his host. She has brought his nephews outside and is
engaging in a snowball fight. He left his nephews quietly reading.
Miss Prim is determined to get to the two little boys’
guardian to realize they are only five and seven years old and need to have
outside pursuits. What she does not count on is developing feelings for the
man.
Who will win in this tug of war? The free-spirited miss, or
the serious-minded marquis? Will they find out that opposites really do
attract?
Mistletoe, Mischief and the Marquis is a delight Christmas tale
of a man trying to do best for his two young nephews. Ms. Grey has spun an
enchanting romance with engaging characters. The novel is fast-paced and
engaged my interest from the start and held it until the end.
Lillian Prim is an endearing character. She speaks her own
mind, even to the austere Marquis of Wythbury when others would hold their
tongue. I loved how she was constantly putting him in his place. Throughout
much of this lovely story, Lillian is trying to show the marquis that little
boys need to have fun. I loved how she goes about it.
Seth, the marquis, is very serious-minded. He does not know
how to have fun and has no desire to learn, yet the annoying Miss Prim is
determined to help his nephews. I loved watching him war with himself over the
feelings he has for her. Once he makes up his mind to win her heart, he does it
in a big way. I absolutely loved the ending of this book!
Ms. Grey is a talented author, and she has penned an
enchanting Christmas story that will warm your heart and put a smile on your
face. The two little boys will steal your heart. If you enjoy regency romances
with a good sense of the time-period with delightful characters, then you will
love Mistletoe,
Mischief, and the Marquis. Happy reading!
