The Art of Kissing Beneath the Mistletoe

Synopsis

Once upon a time, Alexandra Grace Huntington believed in fairy tales. She oohed and aahed over gowns from Courtauld’s, never wore black unless in mourning, always minded her social graces, and never, ever indulged her inner bluestocking. Now her world has come crashing down like a thousands shards of glass. Her father is a dastard, her mother blames her for taking his side. (Rightly so, considering what Lexie has learned.) She’s home alone for the holidays, all alone, no siblings, no friends, and not a shred of pride remaining. But that’s all well and good, so far as Alexandra is concerned because everything she thought she knew was wrong. Her best friend, Claire Wentworth had it right all along, and the Universe had seen fit to reward Claire with, of all things, a crown (quite literally). However, while Lexie once aspired to the same, she has changed. When she’s unexpectedly invited to celebrate one last holiday with her best friend, she can’t accept quickly enough… only how did one comport oneself after everything that was said and done?

Benjamin W. Wentworth III, the seventh Earl of Highbury, has been through his own travails. He nearly drove his family to ruin, and now, after spending weeks in debtor’s prison because of Alexandra's father, and coming shockingly close to losing his life and endangering his sweet sister, he realizes that all that glitters is simply not gold. The last thing he desires is to saddle himself with a woman like Alexandra Huntington, with whom he once shared a passion for the Season. Now, he’d rather choke himself with a silk cravat than endure an instant with someone so vain, so self-indulgent, so giddy and witless. He only wishes his sister would leave off with the holiday matchmaking—mustn't she realize how much he has changed?  When Lexie arrives to celebrate one final Christmas before his sister leaves for Meridian, it is all he can do to avoid the empty-headed chit. Unfortunately, his sister and her friends have festooned the entire house with mistletoe, and to make matters worse, Lexie is proving to be someone else entirely, and he’s about to remember the art of kissing beneath the mistletoe.



Did you read the other books in this series? If not - go back and do it, they are totally worth it! And if you have...did you ever think about Alexandra, Claire's best friend and the daughter of the one...well, you know?

This brand-new book is about Alexandra's story and it is also about Claire's brother Ben. After everything that happened in A Crown for a Lady, the second book in the Impostor series, I loved to see those two find love and happiness even if their way wasn't straight and it wasn't without the one or the other bump on their road to happiness. I mean, they already knew that the other one is annoying and not exactly their favorite person, don't they?
Well, this would not be a story about kissing and mistletoes on Christmas if life didn't have a big surprise for both of them in store - and maybe even a happy end.

I really enjoyed this charming addition to this series and can recommend it even if it is not Christmas just because it is a wonderful story!

If the other two books sound familiar  - these two books were relaunched last autumn with a new cover and a new title. The original titles were The Impostor's Kiss and The Impostor Prince.
