Review: A Cinderella Christmas

A Cinderella Christmas A Cinderella Christmas by Sabrina Jeffries
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

THE MISTLETOE MAIDEN * Sabrina Jeffries
The blurb ...
Once arrogant and aloof, Noel Davenant, the Viscount Cokesbury is determined to help childhood friend Eve Archer restore her family’s fortune. Queen Charlotte’s upcoming charity Christmas embroidery contest is the perfect place for Eve to display her skills and gain opportunities. But though Noel has chosen a wife, by midnight it’s clear that guarding his heart is impossible when desire proves an irresistible gift . . .
I read the most of this novella out of the three and didn't enjoy it (six chapters). Davenant was planning on marrying for the opposite of love and is quite insufferable and hte plot about the Queen's embroidery contest just seemed silly. DNF

THE CINDERELLA CHALLENGE * Mary Jo Putney
The blurb ...
Rejected by her bigoted family, gifted young Casey has survived by disguising herself as a young man and working in the offices of the Chatham Royal Navy Dockyard. But when she reports her suspicions of a plot against Britain's most brilliant engineer, she doesn't expect handsome investigator Cameron Tremayne to swoop in and decide to the solve the mystery of her as well. Can their unlikely partnership bring them a future of loving Christmases together?
Read eight and a half chapters, couldn't get over the woo-woo factor. DNF

A WINTER'S WISH * Anna Bradley
The blurb ...
While she designs the stunning gowns that have made her wicked stepsisters the toast of London, Estella Harley also plans to escape her cruel stepmother. Posing as a lady's maid, she seizes her chance at a glittering Yuletide house party thrown by the mysterious Duke of Hawthorne. But when it comes to secrets—and longing for a real-life fairytale—the duke and Estella have more in common than meets the eye . . .
I hate anything which is a retelling of a fairy tale and I don't know this author so I didn't even start the novella.

I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.
