SynopsisChristmas 1815. Upstairs and downstairs, Holbourne Hall is abuzz with preparations for a grand ball to celebrate the year's most festive--and romantic--holiday. For at the top of each guest's wish list is a last chance to find true love before the New Year... A chance meeting beneath the mistletoe, a stolen glance across the dance floor--amid the sumptuous delicacies, glittering decorations, and swell of the orchestra, every duchess and debutante, lord and lackey has a hopeful heart. There's the headstrong heiress who must win back her beloved by midnight--or be wed to another....the spinster whose fateful choice to relinquish love may hold one more surprise for her...a widow yearning to glimpse her long-lost love for even one sweet, fleeting interlude ...a charming rake who finds far more than he bargained for. And many other dazzling, romantic tales in this star-studded collection that will fill your heart and spice up your holidays...
The Last Chance Christmas Ball is an anthology that links several romance novelists' stories about an annual Christmas Ball. Since I enjoy reading books by both Jo Beverley and Mary Jo Putney, I was looking forward to reading this book and I was not disappointed. I was introduced to other authors and will no doubt try many of their books because I read this one. Highly recommended if you like any of the participating authors or if you want to try a new author.
