In this Dukes Behaving Badly holiday novella, a young lady entertains a sudden proposal of marriage—to a man she’s only just met
What does a lady do when a man she’s never seen before offers his hand in marriage? Lady Sophronia Bettesford doesn’t scream and run away. Instead, she accepts the shocking proposition. After all, what’s her other choice? To live with her cousin, caring for six children and a barnyard full of chickens?
James Archer has roamed the world, determined never to settle down. He’s faced danger and disaster…he fears nothing and no one—except his mother and her matchmaking ways. So when ordered to attend a Christmastime house party filled with holiday cheer and simpering young misses, he produces—a fiancée!
Sophronia and James vow to pretend to be in love for one month. But when they promise to give each other a Christmas kiss, it becomes clear that this pact made out of necessity might just be turning into love.

And funny too!Sophronia(what a name!) is an Earl's daughter left with virtually nothing after his death. She's on her way to live a unappealing life taking care of her cousin's six kids and their chickens-yes, chickens! While waiting in an inn for the coach to whisk her away, she's propositioned marriage by a stranger.James Archer is a nomad. Never likes to stay in one place very long. He buys and sells artifacts the world over. He finds himself in an unwanted predicament when his mother schedules a trip over Christmas holiday he must attend. The houseparty is sure to be ripe with many single ladies looking for marriage. Not to be one bothered by such things, James thwarts his mother's matchmaking ways by producing a betrothed.When Sophronia is propositioned by James, she's surprised. But given her impending situation of gloom, she readily accepts after a short negotiation. It's only for 1 month and then she gets a cottage of her choosing. She doesn't have to see the kids or those darn chickens! She can live alone with her maid and not require anyone's assistance! She's got to do this!The book is very entertaining and a rather quick read! Given it takes place at Christmas time, it draws those warm fuzzies for the holiday too! There are quite a few scenes I was chuckling at-especially all the chicken references! That would make me turn the opposite way right there! I loved how James and Sophy(much better!) fell easily into their roles and found they really enjoyed each other. James was charming everyone but most of all Sophy. Pretty soon, it's not really a struggle to put on a good show!If you enjoy holiday reads and historicals, this is your next read!3.5 stars/3 flamesThis book was gifted to me by the Jeep Diva for the express purpose of an honest review. The rating and review are solely my opinion and in no way was I compensated.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Love, laughter, wit aplenty By Danker Clever and funny. Many witty plays on words. A house party at Christmas. A tree. Games. Word games. A love affair. A love affair that relies on a gorgeous final word game to succeed in achieving its HEA.A fake engagement (unlike another reviewer, my unfavourite trope) that skirts on the edge of credibility, with the latter becoming unimportant.An intelligent young woman, Lady Sophrinia, down on her luck, facing life at her cousin's home caring for 6 children and 27 chickens (the verbal gymnastics about that alone make the story a great buy). Alone, in an inn, waiting to catch a coach to the cousin, children and chickens, downing an ale (yes, an ale!) she is desperate enough to grab the offer to pretend to be betrothed (and to be "killed off" later) in exchange for a cottage in the country.Sophrinia is the dazzler in this story, as she segues back and forth with internal ramblings about life with her deceased, beloved (but profligate) father, her uncertain future, loneliness, guilt at deceiving her purported future mother-in-law - and, most deliciously, her increasing fascination with, and lustful intentions towards her charming and handsome, but duplicitous 'fiancé", James. All done, while ensuring that these musings do not involve sentences that include boring, or repetitive word usage, or, even worse, end with a preposition.Sophrinia is no shrinking violet (especially when she goes to James' bedroom at 1am, intent on seduction - even when she is not completely sure what that entails).Readers who love humour and clever wordplay and learning new vocabulary will enjoy this tale. I laughed out loud more than once and reached for the dictionary just as often.PS I did NOT receive a free copy of this book. I bought it and appreciated its low cost.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Delightful Christmas novella! By Maria Rose This delightful lighthearted Christmas novella is the story of Sophronia and James. Sophronia has resigned herself to her fate of relying on a distant relative after her father passes away, leaving her without means to support herself. A chance meeting at an inn results in a sudden reprieve and some hope, when James offers her a bargain -pretend to be his fiancee for a month to appease his mother's matchmaking hopes (attending an extended holiday party with him) and in return he'll finance a small cottage for her to live a comfortable life as she chooses. It's the perfect solution to both their problems. But could this Christmas give them a gift they'd never expected?I really enjoyed this sweetly sensual story. At the start James is quite firm in his beliefs that settling down in one place is just not in the cards for him, yet he loves and respects his mother dearly and doesn't want to let her down. Hiring Sophronia to play at being his fiancee is a stroke of luck for him - even more so when she turns out to be a charming, quick-witted, intelligent woman. In fact, if he were going to choose a wife, it would be someone like her. I loved seeing him come to terms with his feelings for her and the conflict within himself, as he realizes that his wants and desires are no longer so cut and dried. Sophy sees in James a friendly, fun-loving, kindred spirit, the life of the party but at the same time a devoted son and a generous man. It doesn't take long for her to realize that her feelings for him are becoming more involved and deciding that if this is going to be her only chance to be with him, she'll make the most of it. They share a tender love scene that reinforces their feelings for each other. They both get a wonderful Christmas gift as their planned arrangement turns into so much more. This one was a real treat to read. 4.5 stars.
