About this ebook

Lily Rowland has no choice but to reject the Earl of Seaford’s marriage proposal. No one can deny the man is handsome, with his dark hair and dark eyes that flash with a hint of something that lies deeper beneath the surface. But despite the fact they have become good friends, the oh-so-proper earl can never give her what she wants…passion.

Simon took one look at Lily Rowland and knew she’d be his. But after months of resisting the temptation to throw her over his shoulder and carry her to a dark corner to do deliciously wicked things with her, he realizes he’s made a tactical error. Because Lily doesn’t want the respectable gentleman he’s pretending to be. She wants the rake he’s hiding from her.

Which leaves him with no choice this Christmas but to kidnap Lily to prove he can give her exactly what she craves.

A HIGHWAYMAN FOR CHRISTMAS is a Regency Historical Romance and contains the following themes: friends to lovers, kidnapped heroine, forced proximity, love at first sight.

Ratings and reviews

Somewhat farfetched but very entertaining novella. Simon is sexy, a little devilish and very determined. Lily is spirited and knows what she wants. This is explored through witty dialogue, an outrageous (for the time) situation and well detailed steamy scenes that manage to hover between affectionate and erotic. Another thing I liked was a more complex use of side characters than I normally see in these shorter romances. Very well done and I would definitely read more by the author. I received a free copy and chose to review.

Loving these so much this is my second in the series and I've already gotten the next three! Read all of the Hathaway series too. I love a good love story and these are to the point I wish they were all longer...200-300 pages at least!

The second book in the Christmas Scandals series. Lily Rowland and Simon the Earl of Seaford's story was a fun read. He tried so hard to be sedate for her, but when he learns what she wants he kidnaps her. I enjoyed seeing them get a happy ending. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
