When Eireanne O'Conner returns to Ballynaheath, her home in Ireland, for Christmas, she finds that her brother has married, her new sister-in-law's family is ever-present, and her friends, the Hannigan twins are up to their usual tricks. During the twelve days of Christmas, there are secrets and surprises that will either sink Eireanne deeper into the scandals that have surrounded her family, or send her to London to find a titled husband who will hopefully add some dignity to a family who can't seem to keep away from scandal!
I picked this short story up for a steal on Kindle. I liked the story of Eireanne and Henry, but everything really did feel too rushed. I would have liked to see the story unfold in a more leisurely pace. I would have liked to see more of the relationship between the two main characters. And don’t get me started on Eireanne’s immaturity. It really didn’t track well with me. I read it mostly because I am a completionist. Moving on to the next book.
