I can read Valerie Bowman's books anytime, anywhere! I tune everything and everyone out when I read her books. She writes funny, sensual and romantic characters so well that they feel like my friends. By the time I reach the end of the book, I hate to leave my new friends. I want to stay just a bit longer among them...This novella was too short for me, yet it packed a punch and accomplished so much within the confines of a `novella'.I have no doubt that you'll love the hero as much as the heroine. Both were so charming and witty I kept chuckling and laughing as they tried to navigate their budding relationship and many envious guests at the house party that they're both attending.I also liked the secondary characters; Kate Townsende was such charming hostess [from 'Secrets of a Scandalous Marriage'], Sir Gilliam and Lady Selina were positively squirming with envy, but Lady Selina's mama took the cake and I loved, just LOVED when she got hers!Oh, and I must not forget the cat! As a `cat lady' myself, I always appreciate when authors have them milling about and causing mischief! This cat was one smart cookie!Even though the story was short, it lacked nothing. It was sweet and charming from the first scene to the last. This is a perfect little novella for all of you that have never read this author and for us who have become her champions. We don't want you to miss out on her great talent, so we'll be spreading the word!`It Happened Under the Mistletoe' is out TODAY [11/29/13]!Melanie for b2b*Complimentary copy provided by NetGalley.
