To Fall for a Duke by Christmas, by Sadie Bosque. What to say. What to say about this short romance story. I can only say this, I absolutely loved it! Yes.
Yes. This is me giving praise to the writer Sadie Bosque. Wow! I was pleasantly surprised. The writing in this book was a treat to read.
Clearly Sadie has talent. She discovered it. She claimed it. She owned it and she is putting it to good use. I was instantly onboard with the humor in the book.
I found myself giggling a little here and there. The two characters, David and Niamh melded well together. The dialogue was easy to read. The romance between the two was so sweet and cute. The writer did great with her description of the scenes.
The plot to the story I found believable. The scenes are explained clearly and with enough detail to heighten the readers imagination. The book did have some realism to it. This was supported by the drama between Niamh and her Uncle. I really wanted him to get his.
I couldn’t stand his character. The drama was fresh and the romance was warm and delightful. I found the courtship very exciting and a joy to read. The book is an easy page turner. Sadie’s writing capabilities definitely shines in this book.
With her talent, Sadie has the makings of a great writer. I look forward to reading more from her. I recommend this book with two snaps and a “welcome to the club Sadie Bosque, we are all family here”. Until next time my fellow readers... read on!

A deal made.
She makes a deal with a Duke to go home to Ireland. Sadie Bosque gets right to the dal without delay. The romance builds page by page. I hope you enjoy this romance as much as I did!!

Enjoyable book – always like an Irish Heroine, esp. a commoner. May reread if in the mood for historical holiday romance. 3.5/5

It was a nice short story, but I found the main characters didn't really have much chemistry. I would have loved more of the fake dating scattered throughout too.

Fake dating and snowy meet cutes
4.5 out of 5 stars.
Lovely.
I wasn't sure what to expect but the novella was captivating. I really loved that David and Naimh had a burgeoning friendship and romance at the same time. They learned to trust one another. And their meet cute was perfect for them. It felt natural.
Honestly, I could do more with Naimh.
Even with all the bad parts of her life, she still looked out for others. She didn't try to hurt others. She was complicated in a sensical way. I appreciated her inner fire.
And David's ability to recognize his missteps and faults was endearing. Truly loved this story because he was emotionally available with Naimh and himself.
There's a great balance between show and tell. Didn't didn't feel like I missed much from either side of the telling. One of my faves of the year so far.
Solid read. Half point off because I wanted to know more about Aileen after the big reveal, given the situation in the beginning. Otherwise pretty darn perfect for me.
