From USA Today Bestseller Wendy Vella comes an exciting Regency romance about love and destiny that will enthral you to the last page.

Marriage was something Miss Partridge had hoped to delay indefinitely, but due to her father's reckless behavior she is now expected to save the family from ruin. Determined to have one last night of freedom before marrying a man she detests; Jemma attends a Christmas Masquerade Ball. When a handsome highwayman awakens something inside her, with stolen kisses and whispered promises, she flees, vowing to forget about the man who touched her soul.

From the moment the Marquess of Harrington sees the Grecian Goddess enter the ball, he wants her. Harry is not usually one for irrational impulses - indeed his life does not allow for that - but this woman makes him lose all reason. Her touch ignites a fire inside him, and her kisses sear his soul. When she runs from him he is determined to find her and finally unmask the woman who has captured his heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 STARS - LOVED IT BUT ENDING FELT RUSHED
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2018
Verified Purchase
Loved the way they met and the passion they felt from the start, to say they fell fast for each other is an understatement, but I believe in love at first sight so it felt right.

Lovemaking outside of marriage twice, mildly described. I enjoyed the way they pieced together who they each were. It was a nice journey to romance and their HEA.

No cheating, no cliffhanger, couple bad villains, a mom who gets a back bone and helps her daughter and an exciting ending. I know this is a novella, but I felt the the ending was abrupt. Yes, everything was wrapped up to reach their HEA, but I wanted more of their future. That is my only complaint with this story, otherwise it is a satisfying romance story. (ljb)

4.0 out of 5 stars Quick Historical Romance
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2019
Mistletoe And The Marquess is a fairly short holiday historical romance by Wendy Vella. This is a perfect choice for those with limited reading time. Ms. Vella has delivered a well-written book with fantastic characters. Jemma is being forced into marrying a man as old as her father. Just once before she marries she wants to experience passion. Harry let his brother cajole him into going to a masquerade ball and as soon as he sees Jemma, he wants her. Jemma and Harry's story is packed with drama, humor, sizzle and just a bit of action. I enjoyed reading Mistletoe And The Marquess and look forward to my next book by Wendy Vella. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

I voluntarily read a complimentary copy of this book that I received from Bookfunnel. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The only thing wrong with a Vella novella is that it is simply not long enough. But then, if it leaves you wanting more that is the ultimate compliment to an author. Such is the case with a Vella historical, whether novella or full length. Loved this story with its strong and protective Harry. Vella knows…and delivers.

This was a shorter read from Wendy Vella than I've read in the past. As usual she has romance, love & intrigue in her stories. This is a much more passionate story than her regular stories. But as always there is the intrigue, mystery & background stories to flesh it out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Second Chance and A Wonderful Holiday Romance!
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2023
What an entertaining, spicy, and sweet novella that will enchant you this Christmas season. I loved the story of two childhood friends who reunite after years of separation and discover that their love for each other has never faded. Gabriel, Lord Lockhart, is a cold and arrogant aristocrat who has no time for romance. Maddie, Miss Madeline Spencer, is a spirited and compassionate lady who secretly helps the poor and needy children of London. When Gabriel stumbles upon Maddie’s dangerous mission, he is shocked by the woman she has become and the feelings she awakens in him. He vows to protect her from harm, but can he also win her heart? I highly recommend this lovely Christmas novella!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love will always find a way forward.
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2018
It is bad enough that as a Regency woman Miss Jemma Partridge feels she has no real power or control of her own future. Upon finding out that to save her family she must bend to blackmail and marry a older man, Jemma is determined to have one passionate experience before her farce of a wedding. As she lives out her dreams, she never sees Fate coming. Her future is about to change.

Always the stiff, judgmental and proper peer, the Marquess of Harrington is more than surprised at his reaction to the masked beauty in the Grecian costume. As he is carried away under her spell, he never sees Fate coming. His future is about to change.

I truly loved everything about this novella. I only wish it had been longer and had included an epilogue. That said, I loved both Jemma and Harry. Their chemistry was off the charts. I even loved the supporting characters. I especially loved the story and the tightly woven plot which had a few unexpected twists. Last, but not least, I loved the sweet and tender ending. All in all a perfect fireside read.

Content alert: Language wise this is a pretty clean book. However there are a couple of pretty descriptive sexual encounters and one violent scene with an attempted rape.

FYI: This novella was featured in the 2016 boxed set, A Very Wicked Christmas.

Disclosure: I received an complementary copy of this book from the author via BookFunnel. I am voluntarily submitting my honest review.

Another great story from Wendy Vella, a lovely romance with some mystery thrown in, but I would’ve liked an epilogue a little bit into the future, but I well recommend the book.

What can I say that I have not already said in previous reviews? Another cracker from my favourite author; her books never disappoint they are always of the same high quality, my Kindle is full of her books. I think I should make a play list like my music library - of Wendy Vella's books! The stories are always excellent, humorous and romantic with gorgeous love scenes! This is a Christmas novella there are a few and I can recommend them all. Our hero here is tall, dark and broodingly handsome then he falls in love with our feisty heroine and brooding disappears. .oh just buy it you'll love it!
