His Mistress by Christmas

By: Victoria Alexander

Narrated by: Susan Duerden

For three years, Lady Veronica Smithson has been perfectly happy as a widow - and thoroughly independent. Still, the right gentleman could provide the benefits of marriage without the tedious restrictions. And in Sir Sebastian Hadley-Attwater, renowned explorer and rogue, Veronica is sure she has found him. Sebastian will come into his inheritance in a matter of weeks - if his family deems him responsible enough. There’s no better way to prove his maturity than with a home and a wife.

But though the lovely Veronica will share his bed, she steadfastly refuses to marry. However, Sebastian has a plan: an intimate sojourn at his new country house will surely change Veronica’s mind. For Sebastian never takes "no" for an answer. And even in the midst of mischief-making relatives and unexpected complications, he intends to persuade his Christmas mistress that they belong together - in this and every season to come.

Any additional comments?

I love Victoria Alexander's books and this one does not fail. Funny, witty and just plain good entertainment. I wish all her books were audiobooks. I have all her books but audiobooks just gives it another dimension.

4.5*

Susan Duerden did an amazing job! I think her narration brought more to the story and mad it even more enjoyable. I docked a half star only because

***spolier***

she left. Even though it was just for a day, it was ridiculous, but then I hate silly misunderstanding like that...even though most people seem to enjoy that in books. It's only half a star because they were only apart for a day and not even a full chapter. This will be a book I reread.

What a great series!

Great characters and great side characters. And nobody can narrate as well as Susan Duerden. I cannot wait for the next book in the series.

Funny.......

His Mistress by Christmas was a funny romance that keeped me laughing and will listen to again and again.

Such a fun Christmas Farce

Out of all of the Christmas books I tried this year, this was the most fun and witty. The family characters are fun and quirky. Christmas traditions abound. Susan Duerden does excellent job narrating. Don’t worry, this isn’t a story forced around Christmas. In fact, Christmas doesn’t come into play until the last third or so of the book. That made it even more special.
