All she wants for Christmas is him.

Lady Beatrice Lichfield has been madly in love with Lord Harrison Manfred, Marquess of Landsbury, for years, and she thought he returned her affection. So why hasn’t he proposed yet? With Christmas only days away, and with the encouragement of her mischievous friends, she’s ready to move from friends to lovers where Harrison is concerned.

Harrison is head over heels in love with Bea and has every intention of surprising her with the most perfect Christmas Eve proposal ever. Until he loses the family heirloom ring he means to propose with. He sets out on a quest to find the missing ring, but his search quickly turns into a comedy of errors that could land him in the Christmas pudding.

Will the ring be found in time, and will Bea and Harrison end up with their perfect holiday romance?

PLEASE BE ADVISED: Steam level – very spicy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Bea and Harrison, a missing ring, and pranks
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2022

Bea has been waiting impatiently for a marriage proposal from Harrison. Harrison is ready to propose, gets an heirloom ring from his grandmother to seal the deal, then promptly loses the ring. The story follows Harrison and his friend, John from orphanage to orphanage looking for his missing ring which he thinks was mistakenly donated with the Christmas gifts. Pranks at the orphanages are happening when they visit. This story was not one of the top stories in the series but it was a very nice, fast read for the Christmas season. The two secondary characters, Bea’s friend Diana, and Harrison’s friend, John, in a friendly/enemy relationship were great supporting characters who get their own story in the next installment of the May Flowers.

This is quick fast Christmas read about a Lady Beatrice and her fellow Lord Harrison and why he hasn't gotten around to asking for her hand, or kissing her. There is some good characters who are friends of hers. Lord Harrison's best friend and Lady Beatrice's friend make the book. They are so much fun to read about.
This is listed as a steamy story it is not till the very end and then about a 4 or so.
This would be a great bedtime read.

Beatrice can't understand why Harrison doesn't propose. All the signs seem to be there but it just doesn't happen.
This is a really funny story with an impish foundling creating havoc in several of the orphanages until one day when his prank goes a bit far.
Loved the story, which is full of laughter and romance, as well as each of the delightful characters. Perfect for this time of the year!

I also got this ebook with KU.

This was not my favorite story in the beginning. I'm a humbug, I guess! The book is short, thank goodness.

This was enjoyed, but two very different people with such skill for not following through their promise of delightful devotion . Their was plenty of other things to divert the reader attention. But would the romance happen?.
