baronessekat 's review for:

Once Upon a Winter's Eve by Tessa Dare
3.0

2.5 but I rounded up.

Societal wallflower, Violet, spend her time at the Spindle Cove Christmas Ball as she does every social event, in the corner watching the festivities. But at the end of the evening, the ball is crashed by a dirty and bleeding man in course attire, who stumbles across the ballroom to collapse at her feet, muttering in a foreign language. She's asked to figure out who he is and what he is doing there.

Over the course of the night, she proves that she is more than the shy young woman standing in a corner letting the rest of Society swirl by her.

+++++

This novella was ok. The steam was ok. I think I may have missed some of the exposition and world explanation because this is a novella that takes place within the series. But for what it was, I wasn't disappointed. But not sure if I will ever seek out the series itself.
