This is a Mills and Boon historical romance displaying the talents of three authors: Carla Kelly, Louise Allen, Laurie Benson.

The Captains Christmas Journey (Carla Kelly). This author often writes about sea captains on land during the Napoleonic Wars. However, this one has an interesting twist that makes it fresh and totally enjoyable.

Captain Joe Everard has gone to see the parents of his second lieutenant who was killed at Trafalgar (while he is waiting for his ship to be repaired). He offers to take Verity Newsome, sister of his dead officer, to her new position on the mail coach. However, things don't work out how they planned.

The Viscount's Yuletide Betrothal (Louise Allen). Eleanor Jordan needs a suitable gentleman to act as her betrothed for Christmas. Her uncle has decided to send her brother to the navy and he wants to go to university. Eleanor hopes her 'betrothed' can convince her uncle to change his mind.

This is a sweet, sentimental story that is a joy to read.

One Night Under the Mistletoe (Laurie Benson). This story wasn't worth reading; it was very uninteresting.
