In the Duke's Arms by Carolyn Jewel

chels_ebooks's review

4.0

I didn't realize this was a Christmas novella. It's a Christmas novella! The hero (the duke with the titular arms) is not well-liked by the people in his village because he's kind of brusque. What they are interpreting as iciness is actually him being an awkward weirdo that doesn't know how to talk to people. At the beginning of the book, he is already at least partially in love with Edith, a former lady's companion that recently became wealthy.

It's cute and it made me smile. Not one of Carolyn Jewel's more lusty books (Good Lord, Lord Ruin) but that's fine with me.
