The Merry Viscount by Sally MacKenzie

Caroline Anderson is returning home by stagecoach after a disastrous trip to London to sell Widow's Ale to another tavern.  The coach is packed and when two young bucks land the coach in a snow-covered ditch, Caro seeks shelter at a nearby estate.  She discovers that the owner is her brother's childhood friend Viscount Nick Oakland. 

Nick hates his country estate due to the memories from his childhood and Christmas makes things worse.  He brings an assortment of London's lightskirts to entertain his friends.  During a blizzard, he hears pounding on his door only to discover Caro Anderson needing his assistance.  Caroline invades his home and his heart once he lets her in.

I liked this second chance at love romance.  The characters are older and have made mistakes.  I would have liked to know what happens next.  Do Nick and Caro go to Italy and visit his mother's family?  Do they go visit her parents and her father apologizes? 

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC provided by NetGalley and the publisher.  Thank you.
