My review is based on reading "The Bond Street Carolers" by Mary Balogh.

Roderick Ames, Baron Heath, is walking down a London street when he hears the beautiful soprano voice of a young boy soloing with a church choir. Roderick insists that he needs Matthew Berlinton to perform at his yearly concert. But Matthew's mother, Fanny, isn't sold on the idea. She wanted a quiet Christmas at home with her children. Now they'll have to go spend time at choir practices. She also believes Baron Heath is a rake and wants nothing to do with him. But Fanny's young daughter Katie is taken with the Baron. She wants a new
Daddy for Christmas and has set her sites on Baron Heath. She hopes Santa will make it happen.

This story takes place over a three day period. Katie and her inner-dialogue was the best part of the story. I just didn't buy the insta-love between Roderick and Fanny. My rating: 3 Stars.
