Originally Reviewed For: Bodice Rippers, Femme Fatales and Fantasy[...]It started on Christmas Eve so what better day to post my review about The Twelve Days of Christmas Seduction, than on Christmas Eve? Marie Claremont is one of the reigning queens of the Dark and broody champion and those who live in the shadows, reminding us that they too (they especially) need to find the light of love.Raised in the very gutters of London, Adriana Flint has risen high enough to have obtained a position as governness. But all of her secrets have come tumbling out and now she is desperate to stay. Having fallen in love with her charge she tempts the duke with a challenge. Use the twelve days of Christmas to seduce her, not physically but emotionally.Alexander Hunt, Eighth Duke of Berresford is not quite the pompous pratt he could be but even he draws the line at allowing a governess with no morals care for his ward. While he has no problem taking her to bed he can't allow her to stay. But he is intrigued by her challenge and gives her the twelve days of Christmas to prove him wrong, never even dreaming of finding his own lost heart.A perfect Christmas Eve Romance, short, sweet and full of hope for two lost souls. Marie Claremont has managed to convey the brooding lushness of her world in just a few short pages. Of course after reading this I wanted more... but this book is a seductive tease leaving you wanting more and yet when the final page has been turned you do believe in the miracle of love.ShauniThis review is based on the ARC of The Twelve Days of Seduction, provided by netgalley
