Holly & Folly by Martha Keyes, Book Review
A reputation to reclaim, a matchmaking mother to thwart, and a most inadvisable arrangement.
Nell Prescott brings the whiff of scandal wherever she goes. Surrounded by proper ladies and gentlemen ready to be matched, she has a different object at the Countess of Dalmeer’s grand house to prove herself a model of propriety worthy of a better reputation.
When an unwanted admirer proves difficult to discourage, however, she finds herself in need of an ally.
Archibald Thorne, Earl of Dalmeer, intends to thwart his mother’s officious matchmaking attempts through the most aggravating methods at his disposal. Singling out the one woman she is conspicuously ignoring is low-hanging fruit.
A mutual arrangement—his protection for her company—seems the perfect solution. If only it doesn’t prove their downfall.
My Review:
This first book in the Bella of Christmas: House Party series is a delight! I loved Nell and Archie’s story! Nell had a past and she wasn’t sure if she could ever overcome it or marry for that matter. Archie had no intention of marrying and if he did marry, it would be out of duty. When these two find themselves together, fun and laughter abound. Their secret plan to protect themselves from unwanted attention could possibly turn into much more than what they had planned. I loved the entire story, every single word. I hated when I had to put to down to actually attend to my actual life. Hello? There is an awesome book I need to read instead! Perfect to get you into the holiday season, Holly & Folly is one Christmas regency you don’t want to miss! I look forward to reading the other books in the series soon! I received a complimentary copy of this book; all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Happy Reading!
