Although the whole novella takes place over the space of a night (with memories of her earlier life), we get to see her grow into the strong, resourceful, and confident woman she has, without even realizing it, been becoming over the last year. On a second reading, my opinion remains the same as the first time I read it: I enjoyed the novella, but struggled with parts of it. Partway through, I realized that yes, I had read it before…though I only remembered the details as I read them.
I bought Once Upon a Winter’s Eve thinking the blurb sounded vaguely familiar, but not recognizing the cover. This book contains mature content and may not be suitable for younger readers. To learn his secrets, Violet must reveal hers-and open herself to adventure, passion, and the unthinkable… Love. Is he a smuggler? A fugitive? An enemy spy? She needs answers by sunrise, but her captive would rather seduce than confess. She has one night to draw forth the secrets of this dangerously handsome rogue. He’s wet, chilled, bleeding, and speaking in an unfamiliar tongue.
Until the night of the Spindle Cove Christmas ball, when a mysterious stranger crashes into the ballroom and collapses at Violet’s feet. The gentlemen aren’t beating down her door. She speaks six languages, but seldom raises her voice.
