blessing to each
Lady Marina found herself disgraced and then disowned by her father. Despite her grim future she held onto hope of a future for them. A bad incident caused her to be in the care of a Duke.
This is a clean captivating love story between 2 unfortunate individuals, who found each other. it seems they saved each one from their grim future and found their lasting happiness.
I love the heroine, despite what could have happened , she fought and tried to keep them safe. Though he was only mentioned, I just wonder what happened to that first bad guy . And wonder if it is the same that hurt Evan's sister.
Recommend reading this enticing love story.

A Christmassy fairytale
Christmas in the Duke's Embrace is a sweet, clean seasonal Regency novella in which two wounded people are thrown together in the snow.
Following a brief musical introduction, we first meet our heroine as she braces herself to face her father's wrath. I did find it odd that Marina did not confess to feeling much shame, instead expressing anger at her father for not supporting her and admitting to some guilt for upsetting her mother. Even her bitterness towards the man who forsook her is rather tame, and does not have the impact upon her interactions with Evan that one would expect. Consequently, this did make the story feel as though it struggled to settle into its period setting.
It was similarly unusual for the hero and heroine to be so open with each other. Not only are their conversations striking in their candour so soon after meeting, but they are each prone to laying hands upon the other with an intimacy that would have been highly taboo at the time.
Christmas in the Duke's Embrace is a very sweet tale of redemption, wrapped up in a love-at-first-sight style romance. It is not in the least bit realistic or complex, but is a nice little story nonetheless, and ideal for playing in the background while wrapping presents.
This was my first audiobook narrated by Martin Royal and I enjoyed his performance. His reading was very expressive and the voices he gave the characters were good, with diverse accents helping give the story depth.
I would recommend this audiobook to anyone who is looking for a sweeping Christmas romance between a fallen Lady and a stricken Duke.
*I received this audiobook free of charge in the hope of an honest, unbiased review.
