lighthearted medium-paced
I've liked the series, but this one is a loser. I don't mind tales set around xmas, but this is almost totally focused on it. Then there's the unbelievable nonsense of somebody else getting the exact same gifts for the exact same people that Julian is getting. Sure, somebody else being anonymously charitable is ok, but for that I can't suspend belief.Also, while the relationship between Julian and Hyperia moves nicely forward, the rush for the other relationship happy endings is too false.

Lord Julian is host to an expanding holiday house party, and has a couple mysteries to solve. Who is the anonymous gift giver, where are the family secrets hidden, and can he make good use of the mistletoe. Burrowes has done a good job balancing a quiet plot with introspection, self-depreciation, and joy. A good read any time of the year.
