3.5?
I really liked the first two in this one! (tessa dare can do no wrong???)
The latter two were just okay. The romance was cute, but the plot/dialogue kept pulling me out of the story because I had to continuously roll my eyes. I don't mind some cheese, but I still want /some/ things to make sense

4 short stories. I enjoyed the variety of the story lines, but they tied up too quickly and very sweetly.
I love a novella, and this collection reminded me why. Highly recommend, but especially Sarah MacLean's "The Duke of Christmas Present", which is just pure angst and emotion on the page.
I really enjoyed this, I found all of the stories lovely. I didn't get into the final story as much as the others, but I honestly think that had more with me binging the book and being tired than the story itself. I would have loved to stay in Tessa Dare's story a little longer, I adored it.

Joana Shupe’s story was my favorite and I wish it was a full length novel. The others were sweet but just okay.
These short Christmas novellas are unified by four "Dukes" (one whose name is Duke) and a biscuit recipe handed down through generations. They were sexy and funny and reminded me exactly how much I enjoy Tessa Dare and Sarah MacLean--plus they got me scouring the library e-shelves for more books by Sophie Jordan.
