Mistletoe, Mischief, and the Marquis


Mistletoe, Mischief, and the Marquis (The Heirs' Club of Scoundrels Trilogy #3.5)
by Amelia Grey


This was such a quick fun read about learning, overcoming, families and the love they bring. Seth doesn’t have any children of his own when his nephews becomes orphans he takes them in but is at a lost as what to do with them or how to raise them. He is kind of a stick in the mud making the children stay inside studying not giving them play time. When Miss. Prim comes along she sees how unhappy the children are and puts plans in to place to pull them out letting them be children which helps them get over losing their parents. Seth isn’t happy with, this the children might get hurt or sick they need to learn and get a good education. Lillian shows him how to be a young again making him remember his younger days. It was really fun watching as he learns learning how to play, have fun and find a younger side of his self. The boys are so delighted with Miss. Prim she gives them back a little of the happiness they have lost. You the reader are so going to love watching them as Lillian throws a snowball which leaves Seth speechless. There are so much more fun things that will delight you and keep you laughing right along with the characters.

Seth and Lillian are so opposite of each other we the reader can see how well the balance each other out but will they? There is a strong pull of attraction from both side will it be enough or will they find that the other is to much the other way?

For a short read it is very fast pace the author puts a lot into a little never leaving you guessing or leaving anything out. I really loved the humor and the challenges they give each other. I loved the baiting and showing that not everything needs to be so stern. These two are both bullhead and stubborn they enjoy matching wits, battling each other to see who comes out ahead. I love Lillian’s sassy cheeky way telling it how it is and not afraid to stand up to Seth. Seth isn’t use to anyone telling him what to do no one has ever had the balls to do so. Lillian is a breath of fresh air that brings so much to him and his nephew’s lives. I really didn’t care too much for Seth at first, my heart really went out to those little boys losing so much.  On top of that living with a man that makes them study all the time not letting them be children and have fun.  I really loved the ending just wait until you see how Seth comes through bring a smile to us all.

The author pulls you in giving you a wonderful read. It is a slow start but well worth the read as the author takes you on a journey of two people learning that differences does not mean there cannot be love. Love will pull you through every time if you only listen, learn and grow together. Reading this gave me lots of smiles and laughs. I really enjoyed the characters and the plot each of us could take a little of this story and use it in our own lives. Most people will enjoy this cute, fun read as they laugh their way through to the end.

Summary
The Marquis of Wythebury, is expecting an ordinary Christmastide at Hurst—until he is set upon by a beautiful miss who takes him to task for not allowing his young nephews to play outside. In his mind, a five and seven year old needn’t get chilled in the snow; better to plop them in front of the fire with a book. Few people have ever been brave enough to challenge him over anything, much less the rearing of his wards. The cheeky Miss Prim has no such compunction. No matter how fetching he finds her, he can’t give in to his attraction…for she is the sister of his best friend.

Growing up the middle child of five rambunctious girls, Lillian Prim doesn’t understand why two young boys visiting Hurst don’t know how to play until she meets their dashing guardian. The Marquis of Wythebury is commanding and intensely serious-minded. To her surprise, she’s captivated by him. It’s all she can do not to give into her feminine fantasies about him kissing him. Lillian has no intention of falling in love with the Marquis, but she will create Christmastide mischief and teach the boys and the handsome Marquis how to play.
