“Incredibly romantic and enticingly sweet!”

~ Under the Covers

Spindle Cove is one of my favorite places!  Miss Elinora Browning had written Lord Dashwood Missed Out when she didn’t get the guy she wanted.  Her childhood friend.  After his dismissal, she penned the somewhat bitter love letter and it was published and empowered young ladies all over.  She is now on the way to Spindle Cove for a signing and reading from the pamphlet when she has no other resource for getting there than sharing a coach in the middle of the night with a stranger.

Except he’s not a stranger at all.  He’s the very Lord Ashwood she wrote that pamphlet about.  And he might be just a little upset about having his name dragged through the mud with the success of her pamphlet and wants to know what exactly he missed out on.

Nora now has a backbone and maybe a confidence she didn’t have those years ago.  George is a bit of a jerk but with a purpose.  He tests Nora’s resolve and when you see the ending you won’t be able to hold back the swoons.

This is a short story so I don’t want to give anything away.  I’m always a fan of this series and Ms. Dare’s writing is as always flawless.  With all the backstory there is between these two it was easy to see their story develop without requiring as many pages.  The winter setting around the Christmas holiday is a beautiful backdrop to their encounter and one of my favorite scenes in the whole story takes place out in the snow. 🙂

Incredibly romantic and enticingly sweet!  I loved George and Nora in this short story and after the bit we get to see of Charlotte in this story, I’m now even more anxious to read DO YOU WANT TO START A SCANDAL.

Pin it for later
