I really enjoyed this book! It's an exciting mix of dichotomy: English and American, upstairs and downstairs, festive and practical, love and lust!I absolutely loved Juliet - I laughed and cringed with her all the way through, rooting for her despite the fact that her morals and judgement are - at times - slightly questionable (which just makes her all the more loveable!). Each of the harem of love interests are appealing in their own way - and there is just the right amount of steam, enough to add a frisson to the mix without steamrollering the plot.A particular strength is the cast of supporting characters, both upstairs and downstairs. I loved Terrence!! Every scene he was in made me smile.Christmas at Thornton Hall should DEFINITELY be your Christmas read of 2013 - or any time!
