Books and billiards, can they lead to love?
Dukes, Actually (12 Dukes of Christmas #5) by Erica Ridley
Another light romance in Ridley's 12 Dukes of Christmas series. The painfully shy Duke of Azureford covers his natural inclination up with a brusque and severe front. A warm young lady, Miss Carole Quincy, hides the pain she's known since her mother's death.
A lost sketch book and billiards bring them together--as friends. Nothing more as both have responsibilities. Carole undertakes to help Adam to learn to flirt and converse to make his quest for a Duchess easier.
By the time Adam comes to understanding that incorrigible Carole is not only a tour de force, the glue that holds the village together, and more importantly holds his heart, things are coming unstuck.
A charming piece, nicely put together. The main characters are likeable and well drawn. As are the humorous secondary pair.
BTW pleasing title nod to one of my fav. Christmas movies.
