Tristan Lark, Earl of Burley, is a lord with a plan. Hades’ Lair, London’s top gaming hell, is for sale, and Tristan intends to buy it. He even has an investor in mind: a foreign prince. Unfortunately, this investor will only work with people who are married, since he sees marriage as a sign of responsibility. The rule doesn’t faze Tristan: he’s hired an actress to play his wife.

When the actress doesn’t appear, Tristan is in trouble.

Confirmed bluestocking Irene Carmichael would rather study weather patterns than dress in fine gowns, but when Lord Burley asks her for help, she agrees, even if it means sneaking into his manor house every night for a week to play his wife.

Unfortunately, neither of them had counted on the snow.

A Holiday Proposal is book 6 in Bianca Blythe’s Wedding Trouble series. I thought this was a very witty and charming story. Blythe writes wonderfully sweet romances. “His scent did funny things to her heart. It trembled in his presence, fluttering like a trapped butterfly. Dancing with him would be dangerous.” I think I fell in love with the hero Tristan. His sunny outlook and graciousness won me over. I liked the heroine Irene. She’s not a typical Regency romance beauty, but I discovered that she grew on me as the story progressed. Looking forward to more by Blythe. I was given a copy of this book.
