The Earl’s Christmas Colt by Rebecca Thomas is a sweet historical romance featuring mistaken identities.  And don’t forget the horses!Lady Arabella is a headstrong but loving young lady and a keen horsewoman.  She’d rather be riding or spending time in the stables than sitting in drawing rooms with young misses.  She’s not interested in the playing the marriage mart but she does want to decide who her husband will be.  Her brother, on the other hand, has definite ideas about what her future holds, and it isn’t staying at home with him and her horses.Oliver, Earl of Marsdale, has quite the stables.  He’s agreed to marry Arabella on the recommendation of her brother, with whom he is friends.  He’s heard about her interest in horses and brings her a betrothal gift.  But ah!  If only it were that easy!When Arabella rides off in a huff over her brother’s high handedness, she ends up having to shelter overnight.  When she meets Marsdale, she assumes he is a groom and then later perhaps a wealthy horse breeder.  Marsdale doesn’t realize who she is at first and once he does, he takes the opportunity to learn a bit more about his betrothed.  Unfortunately for him, he discovers she doesn’t think highly of him at all.This is a lighthearted and very sweet romance.  Aside from the mistaken identity and initial upset, though, there is not much to it.  It’s excellent for some light reading of an evening.RATING: 3Heat Rating:  SweetREVIEWED BY: Monique NeavesCourtesy of My Book Addiction and More
