Each month, I will post up a pair (or more) of books. I would like you to vote on a choice. Yes! You will have the job of telling me what to read from my pile each month. I welcome your vote no matter what reason you choose (frivolous, serious or otherwise) that particular book and do share your reason in the comments just because I’m nosy. I will of course share my thoughts on the book itself in my review post.
Theme for this month is Candy Canes and Snow Flakes. Let’s warm up those shivering cold holiday nights with a bit of romance.
Candidate #1
The Viscount’s Christmas Temptation by Erica Ridley
#1 Dukes of War
Historical Romance
Blurb:
Certain individuals might consider Lady Amelia Pembroke a managing sort of female, but truly, most people would be lost without her help. Why, the latest on-dit is that rakish Viscount Sheffield is canceling the fête of the year because he hasn’t time for silly soirees. He doesn’t need time—he needs her!
When a flash of lightning destroys the venue for his family’s annual Christmas ball, Lord Benedict Sheffield intends to enjoy a relaxing holiday for once. But after twelve days of beguiling Lady Amelia’s guerrilla tactics, he’s up to his cravat with tinsel . . . and tumbling head over heels in love.

Candidate #2
Her Christmas Earl by Anna Campbell
Historical Romance
Blurb:
No good deed goes unpunished…
To save her hen-witted sister from scandal, Philippa Sanders ventures into a rake’s bedroom—and into his power. Now her reputation hangs by a thread and only a hurried marriage can rescue her. Is the Earl of Erskine the heartless libertine the world believes? Or will Philippa discover unexpected honor in a man notorious for his wild ways?
Blair Hume, the dissolute Earl of Erskine, has had his eye on the intriguing Miss Sanders since he arrived at this deadly dull house party. Now a reckless act delivers this beguiling woman into his hands as a delightful Christmas gift. Is fate offering him a fleeting Yuletide diversion? Or will this Christmas Eve encounter spark a passion that lasts a lifetime?

They both look like good contenders, but I think I’m going with Erica Ridley’s book. Happy reading! Hugs, RO
I know, tough decision. Thanks, Ro!
Her Christmas Earl sounds fun. I hope you like it.
Yes, it sounds like a fun Christmas romp. Thanks, Mary!
They both sound good and I’m not familiar with the authors. So anyway, I just clicked on the first one because it sound kinda humorous?
Yeah, I’ve not read either though I’ve seeing positive reviews out on both so I want to give either a try. Humor will get me every time. 🙂 Thanks, Lorna!
I voted for book two because I liked the blurb. 🙂
Looks like it might have some great humor, right Angie?
Ooh I voted for the Viscount one- it looks fun. 🙂
Oh yeah, I have a feeling the sparks will fly in that one, Greg. LOL
Both look good but I vote #1!
I made it tough on you all this month. 🙂 Thanks, Carole!
I put my vote in for the Erica Ridley book since I have that one on my tbr as well.
Hopefully, I’ll be able to report that its a gem and you have to read it. 🙂
I’m going to pick book #1 for the completely shallow reason that the cover makes me smile 🙂
Karen @ For What It’s worth
LOL, totally worthy reason. Doesn’t that cover just have a zest of life? Thanks, Karen!
I voted for The Viscount’s Christmas Temptation as I remember seeing that cover before. Both look like fun Christmas themed reads.
That whole forbidden fruit theme on the cover is very fun. 🙂
The Viscount’s Christmas Temptation looks like a fun one. Enjoy.
Thank you, Velvet! It does have a humorous blurb so I’m hoping it will be filled with fun.
