A Christmas Gone Perfectly Wrong

A Christmas Gone Perfectly Wrong uses my two most favorite tropes, fake relationship turned real and stranded together, and adds a sprinkle of holiday cheer. Andrew is on his way to buy his sister a hunting falcon when he sees a woman walking in the middle of the road in the snow. It wouldn't be proper for him to give her a ride, but he advises her to stay to the side. Then upon his arrival to the baron's home, he discovers that that woman is the baron's daughter! He can't keep his eyes off of her, but again, he knows it's improper. If only he knew the trouble he was in store for during this Christmas.

I adored A Christmas Gone Perfectly Wrong! It takes a look at the silly propriety rules of the era and rips them apart! Lucy and her father are a bit eccentric and don't see the need for her to have a chaperone. They don't believe Andrew will do anything untoward as he gives her a ride to her aunt's home, but Andrew is all about duty and propriety. However, Lucy has this way of convincing him that nothing will go wrong. Of course, everything goes wrong and much fun is had as they must be pretend to be a married couple when Andrew's carriage runs off the road. Now, they're stuck in a small village, having the most unusual holiday.

I don't want to give too much away about A Christmas Gone Perfectly Wrong. It's absolutely adorable! I loved how Andrew was a total innocent rather than a rake, and how he worries so much about Lucy's reputation. I also loved how Lucy says what's on her mind and isn't the usual society miss out for an adventure. It just gave me all kinds of warm, tingly feelings.
