Summary: Not Exactly Brimming with Yuletide Cheer
Comment: Again, I have been dupped. I bought this book in hopes of an uplifting Christmas themed story. Well, Bah-Humbug! This one just didn't do it for me. I love Jude Deveraux's work and had high hopes for this one. Unfortunatly, it let me down. Maybe it's me, maybe the stress of the season leaves me unable to fully enjoy a book, but I just couldn't "get into" this one. The story feels rushed, too much too soon, especially where sex scenes are concerned. Don't get me wrong, I am all for a good sexy read, but I was looking for a more sweet type of love for a holiday book. The cover felt slightly decieving to me as well. It looked as if it was set in another time period. If someone who had just picked it up for that reason, they would be disappointed. The title character, Holly herself, just wasn't all that likeable either. She wanted to marry a man for his house. Nick was decietful and seemed to have alot of extra time on his hands. I had a hard time figuring out why he was pretending to be who he was. All in all, I just didn't understand this book. I wanted something with a little redeeming quality to it. Check out Jude Deveraux's other works though, they are fantastic.

Summary: Just Awful
Comment: This book could be taken directly from one of those soft-core porn movies they show on Cinemax. Just two good-looking people having sex for no apparent reason. (...)

Summary: Disappointment!
Comment: This must be the worst book Jude Devereaux has written. The characters seemed to be in the wrong time. He should have been dragging around a club. They act like cave people with carnal urges and no morals or self-control. Sex in a mini-cooper and later--on the hood of a car--is not my idea of romance. This is one book I would like to return for a refund. I wonder if Devereaux wrote this book because it is definitely not up to the caliber of others of hers I have read. Do not waste your money, if you want a book with substance.
