I have just finished the book "A Seduction at Christmas" by Cathy Maxwell. I have been a fan of Maxwell for a long time and she never fails to disappoint me.
The characters in "A Seduction at Christmas" are very likeable. Fiona is struggling to survive after her father has died and her brother has left for the colonies. She and the Duke of Holburn meet in what turns out to be a very dangerous situation. He is noted for his rakish ways and Fiona knows that she must avoid becoming entangled with him. Fate has a way of changing what people think of each other and the relationship that develops is tender and sweet.
While they attempt to avoid some nasty and vicious killers they come to depend on each other. There is just enough intrigue to keep the plot moving and the developing romance is fun to watch.
There are some secondary characters that play a role in the story and it is interesting to see how Fiona and Holburn deal with them. All in all this was a very likeable book and I would give it 4 1/2 stars
