Review: Twas a Night or Two Before Christmas, and Passion is Stirring

Lady Amelia and her coachman are stranded on the road, miles away from her family home, or even the nearest town, due to a broken axle on her coach. (I wonder why this doesn't happen more often in historical fiction; I'm sure it DID happen in real life).Of course, the first/only coach that comes along as they are trudging in the rapidly falling snow contains her once teen crush, now bitter enemy, Evan Cameron. HE doesn't understand why "Pudge," as he once called her with affection, should carry a grudge about that, and a few other things, but she quickly enlightens him.Both young, both attractive, both still have feelings for one another, and upon reaching the nearest village and being confined to a tiny room with one bed, passion wins out. The sex scenes are HOT and varied, and there's a very satisfactory settling of accounts (and more sex) at the family manor.Lady Esme (the purported author from the House of Trent) knows how to tell a VERY spicy story.
