I received an ARC through NetGalley.

The Earl’s Christmas Colt is a super cute Historical Romance novella. Arabelle’s brother has just informed her that she’s to marry a future duke in just a few days. She’s not happy with this sudden decision and takes off her on horse to clear her head. Well, her mare gets injured so she heads to an inn that’s closer than her home. There she meets her future husband, but doesn’t know it. She properly introduces herself, but upon recognizing her name, he introduces himself as Mr. Carrington, a common horse breeder. Yep, this is a cute mistaken identity plot.

Arabella rents a horse from the inn and hopes to reach a cottage before a storm hits. “Mr. Carrington” follows to make sure she makes it okay, but they get caught in the storm. There he learns all about her distaste for dukes and her worry about her reputation if her fiance were to find out she’s alone with a strange man. Of course, he comes clean about his identity, she’s upset about the lies, but eventually realizes that it’s not too bad being engaged to an almost duke. Plus he knew about her love of horses and brought her a colt that he had bred (didn’t lie about that!) as a Christmas/wedding present. Sweet.

The Earl’s Christmas Colt is the perfect read for a cold winter’s day. The story is well paced, sweet, and really heart warming.

I really enjoy historical romance so I thought this would be a quick enjoyable read, and I was right. Our main character is Lady Arabella Sutton, a independent young woman with a incredible passion for horses.She’s not a meek woman and despite the short amount of time I got to spend getting to know her I really liked her. The Earl of Marsdale, Oliver, was also really enjoyable and despite his bit of bumbling I really enjoyed how earnest he was. I rarely read historicals where the love interest has a title and a sense of humility, so this was a really nice change of pace.

A short book requires a short review, or I run the risk of spoiling the sweetness of the story. If you like stories that leave you feeling happy and warm, then The Earl’s Christmas Colt just might be for you. This is my first Entangled Flirt story and I’m really looking forward to reading even more books from their line.
