How the Dukes Stole Christmas

Average rating3.3
How the Dukes Stole Christmas is another anthology that didn't match my expectations. I have enjoyed stories from Tessa Dare and Sarah MacLean in the past, so I was hopeful that I would at least enjoy their novellas. Unfortunately, Tessa Dare's Meet Me in Mayfair was the only one I liked.

Last book was a 3.5.
They all averaged out to a 2.25 LOL so overall not worth it.
I was expecting cute little romances, but disappointed.
1) Fun meet-cute and characters - good short story
2) 10% fun inspiration by Christmas Carol. 90% repeatedly and endlessly dwelling on regrets 12 years earlier.
3) Woman has clothes ripped off and set up to be ogled in bath. Came off creepy.
4) Best of them. Neat setting and fun dinner.
switched from the audio to the ebook and it didn't help at all. this was just bad and boring with barely any christmas atmosphere. such a disappointment.
tessa dare's was the best. i couldn't even get through the second one. the third one was better, but somehow the duke's actions made me feel icky. i wanted to castrate the “hero” in the fourth one. what an asshole.
this anthology was a waste of time. i'm staying away from historical romance for a while or at the very least, i'm done with stories about dukes.
- Meet Me in Mayfair by Tessa Dare - 4.5 stars
