Mary's Christmas Knight
by Moriah Densley
Could a rogue be her knight in shining armor?
Mary Cavendish’s corset is already too tight. All the lovely
Christmas food is tempting her, and that’s bad news for her dream of attracting
a “knight on a white charger” — not that volunteering at the parish hospital is
how she expects to meet him. Enter a mysterious Christmas Eve patient, who is
none other than the famous Shakespearean actor Sir Wesley Samuel Darcy. Mary
finds him arrogant, too forward… and maddeningly handsome.
When Mary learns Sir Wesley has been invited to spend
Christmas with her family at Rougemont, she vows to resist the charming London
rogue. Wesley thinks finding the perfect present for Miss Cavendish will tempt
her — she’s not as prim as she pretends to be. Mary turned down six proposals
last Season, and she’s not about to give in to a rake. But if Mary can’t resist
the sugarplums, how can she resist the dashing Sir Wesley?

My thoughts:
I can't think of a more wonderful way to spend a few hours
on a cold winter than reading Moriah Densley's novella Mary's Christmas Knight.
Those familiar with Densley's work will remember Mary Cavendish from Song for Sophia, but fortunately Mary's
Christmas Knight stands on its own as well - though I can't promise it won't
leave you begging for more.
Chronologically Mary's Christmas Knight fits perfectly
between Song for Sophia and the soon
to be released The King of Threadneedle
Street (due on 12/13/13). The story
was funny and light and a truly lovely read.
Sir Wesley Darcy, a famous actor, is injured after being robbed and goes
to the hospital on Christmas Eve where Mary Cavendish is working. This isn't love at first sight however as
Mary finds Darcy arrogant but she is nevertheless tempted by his je nai sais
quoi. Read this wonderful novella to find out what happens to Mary
Cavendish, a wonderful character a reader cannot help but fall in love with.

Mary's Christmas
Knight, as all of Moriah Densley's work, is filled with wonderful human
characters that immediately captivate the reader and invest you in the outcome
of their lives. Densley is able to set
these human characters in an approachable historical context and leaves the
reader to enjoy the ride. Mary's Christmas Knight is a must read
for this holiday season and a wonderful way to get into the holiday spirit, but
I would suspect The King of Threadneedle
Street will make it onto many lists this year.
This is fantastic! Thanks for posting your review. So delighted to hear you liked the book.
