One Night with a Duke by Erica Ridley

Jonathan MacLean is subconsciously trying to outrun his past by never returning to the same town twice.  He is getting a new investment off the ground when he is trapped in Cresmouth aka Christmas by a blizzard.  

Angelica Parker is the town jeweler.  She left London to prove to herself and her family that she is just as good of a jeweler as her older brother.  As a black woman, she has to prove that her creations are equal to any other artist.  She has been given a commission of making ornaments for the new town Christmas Tree.  


I really love the standalone novella feel to the series.  However, this book seemed more rushed than the others.  There are some details missing.  Angelica could not possibly manage the demand of her business without either an apprentice or shop clerk.  I liked the characters and how they both had issues to overcome.  

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