Description
From a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author:
The Duke of Azureford isn’t the arrogant, aloof lord his peers perceive him to be. Yes, he’s awkward, but he has a plan to fix it. In order to woo a respectable lady, he must learn how to flirt. The completely inappropriate girl next door would make a perfect instructor, but a terrible duchess. So why can’t he walk away?
Incorrigible hoyden Miss Carole Quincy likes billiards, fast carriages, and the beautiful, buttoned-up Duke of Azureford. She’d be delighted to help him out of his shell and into her arms. Who cares if they’re just pretending to flirt? The heady, breath-taking, soul-consuming feeling inside her runaway heart surely can’t be love…
The 12 Dukes of Christmas is a series of heartwarming Regency romps nestled in a picturesque snow-covered village. After all, nothing heats up a winter night quite like finding oneself in the arms of a duke! AMAZON LINK

I wasn't very far into the book before I realized had been smiling quite a bit. Carole was totally unique with quite the imagination too! An imagination that she used as an escape with her drawings; into a world that could be instead of what was. She sure had some interesting ideas. That is some of the places that made me smile.
While I am NOT a fan of fortune tellers, the brief appearance of one in this story does shake things up!
Adam also adds his flavor to the story and he has way more depth than most people get to see. He is brilliant when standing and speaking before a group of people like Parliament. But one on one with another person he comes across as cold, rude and graceless. Only his butler Swinton, is privy to the fact that small talk almost gives him hives. That small talk is an agony for him.
Carole is brilliant in her own ways and has a robust love of life. She is the opposite of Adam. She has a way of drawing people to her like bees to honey. Sure, she has her flaws but she's also on the lookout for how she can help people.
Carole's lady companion, Judith was a hoot and added even more smiles to the story. She had been with Carole so long that she was almost family. But that didn't mean she was much of a deterrent to many of Carole's hoydenish ways.
Let me say that I enjoyed every minute of this book. It was a fun story with a good Epilogue included.
