The Wallflower's Mistletoe Wedding Kindle Edition
Plain, sensible Rose Parker is a self-proclaimed wallflower, but she’s always dreamed of dancing with Captain Harry St. George . . .
Once, Harry wouldn’t even have noticed Rose. But now, after a hard war, Harry knows he’s a different man. Shy, sweet Rose intrigues him more than any gregarious young lady—but he must marry a rich bride to save his mortgaged estates . . . and Rose is no heiress. Now, more than ever, Harry needs the magic of a mistletoe kiss . . .

About the author
Amanda McCabe wrote her first romance at the age of sixteen--a vast historical epic starring all her friends as the characters, written secretly during algebra class (and her parents wondered why math was not her strongest subject...)
She's never since used algebra, but her books (set in a variety of time periods--Regency, Victorian, Tudor, Renaissance, and 1920s) have been nominated for many awards, including the RITA Award, the Romantic Times BOOKReviews Reviewers' Choice Award, the Booksellers Best, the National Readers Choice Award, and the Holt Medallion. She lives in New Mexico with her lovely husband, along with far too many books and a spoiled rescue dog.
When not writing or reading, she loves yoga, collecting cheesy travel souvenirs, and watching the Food Network--even though she doesn't cook. She also writes as Eliza Casey...

Some of the story line reminded me of the classic movie: The Enchanted Cottage.
Rose Parker is a shy, plain and sensible wallflower who is used to putting other people first and herself last. After her father’s death, Rose had to be strong for her mother and sister’s sake and she has done her utmost to ensure that her family do not suffer unduly after the discovery of her father’s many debts. Poor Rose has had to sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of her family, however, she does derive comfort from one night she had spent dancing in the arms of the dashing Captain Harry St. George – even though she is perfectly aware that a future for the two of them is out of the question for Harry needs to marry an heiress to rescue the flagging fortunes of his family estate and Rose, in order to make ends meet, needs to work as a companion to her formidable Aunt Sylvia!
Harry had once had high hopes of marrying Lady Helen Fallon and restoring his family estate to its former glory, but unfortunately Helen had refused to wait for him and she got married to another, leaving him scratching his head wondering how he was going to rescue the dilapidated family seat and the livelihoods of the many people living on his estate. Knowing that he must marry an heiress, Harry knows that he must be sensible and find a suitable bride who is wealthy enough to save his estate from ruin – so why can’t he stop thinking about the intriguing but penniless Rose Parker?
When fate thrusts the two of them together, Harry knows that he should give Rose a wide berth and focus on rescuing his estate. But every single woman he comes across pales into insignificance when compared to Rose. When fighting off their feelings for one another proves impossible, Harry and Rose find themselves at a crossroads, but will they choose their heads over their hearts? Will Harry’s duty to his estate cost him his heart’s desire? And is Rose willing to spend the rest of her life wondering what might have been, if only she had the courage to fight for the man she loves?
The Wallflower’s Mistletoe Wedding is sheer romance reading perfection from start to finish! A tender, heartwarming and irresistible historical romance fans of Mary Balogh are simply going to devour, The Wallflower’s Mistletoe Wedding is a touching and mesmerizing tale about two kindred spirits who find one another and triumph against all the obstacles standing in their way that is sure to bring a tear to even the most jaded of eyes.
I absolutely loved Captain Harry St. George who was a dashing, sensitive and charismatic hero who stole my heart and Rose is a simply wonderful heroine who reminded me of Elinor Dashwood with her selflessness, goodness and love for others. I also thoroughly enjoyed the sub-plot involving Lady Helen Fallon and hope that she pops up in other stories as she is a fascinating character.
A spellbinding romantic read that I highly recommend, The Wallflower’s Mistletoe Wedding continues to cement Amanda McCabe’s standing as a superb writer of historical romance!
Furthermore, there were situations which were inconsistent with the time period (and weather) in which the plot unfolds. A few times, we are led to believe that certain interactions take place between the H and h without any witnesses whatsoever - quite unbelievable given the ubiquitous presence of staff. And the h going for a stroll outside on a cold, snowy, winter night with nothing but her ball gown and slippers? And a love making scene in a summerhouse in the middle of winter? Not in the least believable. Would I recommend this book to other readers? Not really...
I didn't realize it was 3rd in a series and it read well as a standalone. A little Christmas in a hot summer was just what I needed. Looking forward to reading the other books in this series.

As I've said before I do like reading new authors and Amanda McCabe is new to me.
I adore Christmas books, they make you all warm and cosy, and this book gave me that warm feeling.
I won't be going into a lot of detail, I found this book a enjoyable read and you certainly feel part of the Christmas festivities, well I did.
My favourite character in the book has to be Aunt Sylvia, she is a lady who certainly speaks her mind, but underneath she has a heart of gold. When you read the book you will know why I said that.
Rose and Harry are lovely characters, even though they met once three years before this Christmas party, they always thought of each other. When they meet again both of them have changed, Harry because of the war and Rose she became a companion to Aunt Sylvia.
So from here I won't reveal anything more, all I will say is get yourself a warm drink and some biscuits, and enjoy I lovely Christmas book.
I will give this book 4/5 stars. This book is available to buy from Amazon and all other retailers.
I Received this ARC from the author in return for a honest review.
