A Countess by Christmas by Annie Burrows
2.0
I picked [b:A Countess by Christmas|9427063|A Countess by Christmas (Harlequin Historical, #1021)|Annie Burrows|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Z4BMGed5L._SL75_.jpg|14311513] for a challenge at RRRC group. I needed a Christmas theme read so I searched for a book on Goodreads with a word 'Christmas' in tittle and from results I picked this one. I should have payed better attention to the rating of this book.
The idea is nothing new, you have probably read a historical romance with the same plot before. Love story is very shallow, attraction between characters is rationalized and thought over so much, that it does not seem like nothing special. And when they end up in bed at the end - nothing special either. No heat whatsoever...
I gave it a 2 star rating only because the description of the Christmas party and the amusement and games arranged for children woke up my holiday spirit a little bit, so I wanted to be generous.
