Four breathtakingly romantic tales of a Regency Christmas from four bestselling romance authors.

Down through the years, enchantment touches a tall gray house in Grosvenor Square. The legend of Lady Winterson’s Christmas ball promises true love and happiness to one lucky couple. Who will feel the magic this winter?

1803 - The Seduction of a Duchess by Shana Galen

Rowena Harcourt, the Duchess of Valère, never forgot the handsome footman who helped her escape the French Revolution. For fourteen years, Gabriel Lamarque has loved Rowena—now at Lady Winterson’s Christmas ball, has fate finally delivered a chance to win her hand?

1818 - One Kiss for Christmas by Vanessa Kelly

Nigel Dash is London’s most reliable gentleman, a reputation he never minded until he fell in love with beautiful Amelia Easton. Unfortunately, Amelia sees Nigel as a dependable friend, not a dashing suitor. At Lady Winterson’s famous Christmas ball, Nigel vows to change Amelia’s mind—by sweeping her off her feet.

1825 - His Christmas Cinderella by Anna Campbell

At the season’s most glittering ball, a girl who has never dared to dream of forever after discovers a Christmas miracle.

1830 - The Last First Kiss by Kate Noble

Susannah Westforth has always loved Sebastian Beckett – but he’s only ever seen her as a friend. When Sebastian takes his Grand Tour, Susannah transforms herself into a woman he’ll notice. Now Sebastian is back, just in time for Lady Winterson's Christmas ball – but the last thing he expects to see is his little Susie, all grown up...

You’re invited to join the whirling dance at Lady Winterson’s sparkling Christmas ball, where miracles happen and true love shines forever. How can you resist?

This is a lovely idea: four short stories by different authors, all based around one address at one time of year. I was delighted with the creativity that was shown by each of the contributors and thoroughly enjoyed the narratives. However, one of the difficulties of writing Regency-era fiction is avoiding the use of modernisms and particularly modern American idiom, as this is quite jarring in an otherwise well-written tale. One of this quartet of authors fell into such a trap several times. Perhaps employing an editor would solve this problem and result in a more professional standard of publication?

This book of four romances is sweetly charming. All themed around one particular house and one particular event, where every year one lucky couple finds true love. The four stories are all well written and enjoyable, but only one of the four has any heat to it. I like my romance to have some spice, so if that's also your preference, this book may not suit. Having said that, the price was right and it was a pleasant way to spend a few hours.

THE SEDUCTION OF A DUCHESS by Shana Galen
2.5 stars

This story is a stand-alone short story, but I know I would have enjoyed it so much more with a full knowledge of the prequel novels.

Was the hero a character in those books? It would be interesting to read how his acquaintance with the heroine was handled in previous books in the lead-up to this one.

This is a sweet story that pushes age boundaries for a typical historical romance with a 47 y. o. heroine and a hero 10 years her junior.

It is ok, but more romance development was needed for me.

This was my first Shana Galen story. She has a lovely writing style, but I think the short format is not a good way to judge her as a writer. I may try a full-length novel.

ONE KISS FOR CHRISTMAS by Vanessa Kelly
3 Stars

While short and sweet, for me this was the strongest story. Well-written protagonists and secondary characters. There was character development and I went along on the romance ride as the couple fell in love. I saw it happen. This is what makes a short story worthwhile in my opinion.

It was the first time I read something by this author, and I am interested in reading more now.

HIS CHRISTMAS CINDERELLA by Anna Campbell
2.5 stars

This is the only of the 4 stories to include a very intimate, explicit sex scene. I think it would have been a good story without the sex (I can't believe I said that because I usually like sexy-times). The opening scene, in fact, had me nervous as the storyline introduces roles I don't usually care for - the heroine as a newly made mistress, a wealthy man appearing to use said mistress, and the use of a third person's property for the lovers' tryst. Usually, I would say "yuk" to all that.

That said, of the 4 stories, it was the one that had my heart racing in the hopes that it would end happily - probably because the heroine had risked so much.

As the story progressed, the author turned my unease with the roles of the protagonists into liking for the hero and sympathy for the heroine.

The best scene for me involved the stand-off between the hero's mother and the heroine's aunt. Their interactions led me to know those characters better.

I don't engage as much if I am told how the main couple fell in love before the story starts. I would like to have been there to see that happen, before the opening scene.

THE LAST FIRST KISS by Kate Noble
2.5 stars

A lovely story. It was beautifully paced and light, the feel of an historical teenage romance (without the angst) and quite sweet.

My only reservation is that we were TOLD of the heroine's childhood/teenage love of the hero and didn't get to SEE it develop, presumably due to the short story format. So while I am happy for the heroine because she gets what she wants, I can't say why the hero is loveable or worthy.

We also read the conclusion to the story about Lady Winterson and her Philbert who are `greying' that particular year. That was lovely too.

This anthology was free from Amazon. A nice Christmas present, thank-you very much.

Enjoyable holiday read, centred around Lady Lucy's famous annual Little Season Christmas Ball. All of the stories are enjoyable, but the last tale holds a twist that makes you wish for an out of season sequel!

A Grosvenor Square Christmas is a delight group of short stories, one story excepted, set around one house in London over the years. Widowed Lucy Frost, the Countess of Winterson, hosts a Christmas ball or party and, along with the help of her faithful butler Philbert, they assist a couple in need of help. The stories are short, delightful, and perfect for Christmas. I read this while flying across country, suffering from a cold, and it was a lovely diversion and helped pass the time.

Beginning in 1803, The Seduction of a Duchess by Shana Galen, tells the story of Rowena Harcourt, widowed Dowager Duchess of Valere, who escaped France with her small son only with the aid of her young footman, Gabriel. Now, older and surrounded by her sons and their wives, she is, for the most part content. But, memories remain of the past...and of Gabriel. Accepting a surprising invitation to Lucy Frost's ball only at the insistence of her children, Rowena is stunned to find that the handsome, confident man staring at her across the room is none other than Gabriel- no longer a footman, but an English hero. I wish this was a full length novel. The characters are very interesting and well-developed, and the reader can easily identify with Rowena- a woman in her forties, a grandmother, and a dowager duchess- as she struggles to come to terms with her attraction to a younger man. I liked how we are privy to Gabriel's thoughts, too. Just lovely! (Rowena Harcourt is the matriarch of the family featured in Ms Galen's Sons of the Revolution series.) This is easily the best of the lot.

One Kiss for Christmas by Vanessa Kelly, set in 1818, features Nigel Dash, liked by all, including Miss Amelia Easton, although he longs to be more than just her good friend. But, Amelia, surrounded by admirers, one in particular whom her parents expect her to marry, looks to Nigel as a safe companion. Hoping to change her view of him, Nigel sets out to woo Amelia at Lucy Frost's Christmas party. To his dismay, he ends up being called upon to amuse Amelia's younger siblings. The story is a fun one, and you will enjoy the characters. (Nigel Dash is a character from the author's Stanton Family series)

Anna Campbell's His Christmas Cinderella, taking place in 1825, is the only one of the group that I did not like. For 10 years, Campion Parnell has waited on her aunt hand and foot, and when she meets the handsome Lachlan, Earl of Ravenglass, she falls in love. Lachlan asks her to have sex with him, and she agrees, slipping away each week to meet him in a "shabby chamber" belonging to a friend. OK- at this point I'm thinking that if Lachlan truly loves her, he would not be treating her this way. Surely, a man of his determination and clout could easily overcome any problems that might arise from his calling her like a gentleman should. The prolonged sex scene does not fit with the other stories. I found myself skimming this one. I'd recommend just skipping it.

Set in 1830, The Last First Kiss, by Kate Noble, is a cute, sweet story. While not as well-written as the others, it is still enjoyable. Sebastian Beckett has always seen his neighbor, Susannah Westforth, as an amusing young girl who tagged along behind him, making him laugh. At twenty, Sebastian goes away on his Grand Tour, leaving 16 year-old Susannah watching in dismay. Encouraged by her Aunt Julia, Susannah decides to make herself into a young woman that Sebastian cannot help but notice when he returns. And he does just that while attending Lucy Frost's Christmas gala three years later. Philbert, Lucy's faithful butler gives Sebastian very good advice about love...and then decides to take his own advice. This gives us the perfect ending to this 30-year saga.

Very nice, indeed. Get a cup of hot chocolate and settle down for 3 great short stories.
