Book: The Twelve Suitors Of Christmas by Maren Baum
Reviewed by Michelles_Cosy_Booknook
Rating: 4/5
At less than 150 pages, this is a novella that simply bursts at the seams with regency festivity.
Clara Bellamy is challenged by her family to see past her usual immediate assumptions when it comes to potential suitors, and actually allow twelve gentlemen the chance to impress her.
The Twelve Suitors of Christmas reads like a series of Bridgerton and I could not get enough.
Having personally visited Bath, the setting for this novella, it felt so much more relevant to me, to read about the locations I have visited, depicted in this romantic and festive setting.
The way Maren Baum writes is so vividly descriptive that you have no difficulty not only picturing the surrounding, but feeling as though you are an actual part of it all.
This is the perfect festive cosy read that can be consumed (if you have the time), in a day, and I would recommend popping on your cosiest PJ's, and settling under a fluffy blanket with a cup of hot chocolate. To make it absolutely perfect, read it by candlelight to give that true immersive setting.
This is going to be an annual festive read for me, and I will eating up anything else Maren Baum has written!
I would like to thank Maren Baum and BookSirens for the advanced copy of this book.
