a very gothic christmas - christina feehan & melanie george


I’m not one for short stories, but since I was bored, and hey, it was x’mas a month ago… what the hey. There are 2 stories in this book. The first was rather believable, about a young lady cum nanny, bringing her 2 charges, 13 year old twins, back to the island where they grew up as kids to meet their father, who has not seen them in years, after a horrific incident leaving him disfigured and the twins mother dead. Yes, romance is in the air… with some Christmas season cheer and magic in the air…. You guess who ends up with who. Predictable, but with interesting smaller complots thrown in.
The second, shorter story, is way too much of a cliché… beautiful girl finds herself in a haunted Scottish castle, and finds herself face to face with its handsome lord of 500 years ago… through some time travel. Facing battles and challenges… true love prevails. Yikes.
