Miss Mary Perkins is governess to the strong-willed Stringham sisters while waiting for her beloved Mr. Trevor Wallace, a curate, to receive a living so that they can afford to marry. When he loses the promised position, her young charges decide to give their governess a husband for Christmas. The Stringham sisters write a fake letter from the duke inviting Trevor to stay at the castle, lock the pair in the dungeon, accidentally poison a chaplain, and cause a great deal of mayhem with mistletoe. Despite the girls’ well-meaning mistakes, will Mary and Trevor finally have the wedding of their dreams? “Only the Stringham girls would try to matchmake in a dungeon,” Mary said with a little snicker that was positively adorable. “And if you ignore the torture artifacts, it is a rather romantic location with firelight.” 134728837

Review:

This is the perfect, cozy Christmas novella. It was an absolute delight to return to the Stringham family home for the holidays!

The practically perfect in every way, Miss Mary Perkins, is the governess to the Stringham sisters. She has been waiting to marry Mr. Trevor Wallace, a curate, trying to make a living so they can afford to marry. When Trevor loses his promised position, the Stringham sisters decide to give their governess a husband for Christmas.

The sisters go through a lot to help Miss Perkins and Trevor. Despite all the girl’s mischief, will Miss Perkins and Trevor have a happily ever after?

I love the Stringham sisters, and it was so much fun to see them up to their shenanigans again. I also enjoyed seeing Miss Perkins and Trevor’s story. I found myself laughing out loud throughout. Fans of Samantha Hastings and the Stringham’s will not want to miss this beautiful story that I enjoyed to the very end!
