This wonderful Christmas house party romance is a delight in contrast: Cynthia Louise, a "spinster" at the age of 30, has volunteered to help her niece, Gertrude, capture Alexander, the Duke of Nottingvale. Gertrude, while a dutiful, perfect picture of a lady, has no desire to marry.
Opposites definitely attract, and Cynthia, who delights in her ability to flout convention, unwittingly captures Alexander's attention, and the race is on. Can these two find happiness? Is there a compromise that can make everyone happy between Alexander'sdedication to his ducal responsibilities and Cynthia's freedom and determination to see Gertrude wed?
Enjoy the laughs, the wit, and the romance and read this delightful romp through the holidays to see what happens and find out who gets their happily-ever-after!

Perfectly charming Regency romance. The escapist tonic we all need right now. Feisty heroines and a hunky hero and a small puppy called Max. Erica Ridley provides delightful escapist fun. Thanks to her and Netgalley for a lovely afternoon's read.

I love this series. It is cheesy. It is sappy. It is on the nose. It is adorable. This whole series is like a Hallmark Christmas movie. Nottingvale's Christmastide house party has been a running event through the whole series. I've been anxiously awaiting his story. Here it is at last!

Cynthia Louise is my favorite heroine in this whole series, and that is saying quite a bit because every one of these heroines are lovely. They are all strong and independent. Cynthia Louise is perhaps the strongest and most independent. She knows herself, and is firmly herself. I adore her. 

The Duke of Nottingvale is everything he should be. He is living by all the rules and being perfectly respectable. Of course, he needs a bit of a hoyden in his life. ;) 

The Christmas village setting is perfect for this story. This book has me all in my Christmas mood! I love it. If you are looking for a good Christmas story, grab this one. Get this whole series! These books are a good short read, you do not need to read them all in order. (I haven't!)

The anticipated day arrived - the last book in the village of Christmas series landed on my kindle. It lived up to all expectations and made a funny and romantic climax to the series of 12 books. Don’t delay - read it - and the previous 11 books if you’ve not already done so.

Erica Ridley is one of my favourite authors. I love her wit and the way she describes the Regency world. The characters are strong and well defined.
I love the 12 Dukes of Chistmas series and I higly recommend it. I wish you enjoy them as much as I do

This was such a cute addition to this series. I loved the premise - chaperone trying to secure a good marriage for a cousin has a tendre for the duke instead. I really enjoyed all the silliness she got up to, all the fun that was had, and the sweet ending. Definitely a fantastic one to pick up at Christmastime.

I love Erica Ridley's fun historical romances. This book is such a delight. Opposites totally attract when a by-the-book duke and free spirited heroine meet. Love the banter and hilarious situations. Enjoyed it a lot and finished it in one day.

Alexander and Cynthia's story is a good one. The final story in The Twelve Dukes Of Christmas series it is amazing.
With unforgettable characters and a good storyline it is Erica Ridley at her best.
It is a quick read.
I received a free ARC of this book.

The Duke finally met his match! I love these stories because they are the perfect length. Short and sweet, each one is intriguing. I loved Cynthia Louise and her zest for life. She broke the rules that would confine her and found joy in her life. Her fun loving shenanigans made her an unsuitable candidate for a stuck up Duke but the perfect bride for Alexander. Alexander changed during a short time because he noticed a wallflower and fell in love with her.

It's been a delight reading this series. Cressmouth, the picturesque Christmas village has made quite an impression. Forever your Duke, being the last is witty and entertaining.

Alexander, the Duke of Nottingvale has been primed to put duty above all else to continue family tradition. His heirs will be raised the same. The best way to find his perfect duchess would be during the Christmas festivities where debutantes will flock for a chance to become a duchess. There is no room for love as long as the duchal requirements are fulfilled.

Cynthia has long ago given up on impressing the ton. Her reason for attending the festivities is to matchmake her niece to avoid a terrible fate dictated by her father.

Although they have crossed path on numerous occasions, Alexander and Cynthia never really became acquainted. They are from different worlds. He abides by society rules. She defies them. This time round, he notices her and finds himself fascinated by her antics. He starts acting out of character to spend time with her. A relationship with her will sully his title. When it comes to the crunch, will he listen to his heart?

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the last of the Dukes of Christmas. It has a nice flow and the characters are delightful. With the exception of a few. It's a shame that it has to end, but I am sure that Ms Ridley will continue to regale us with her fascinating tales. Great series and a worthy end to the series.

I received an eARC and the views expressed are my personal opinion.

There’s a straight laced Duke who follows all the rules-The Duke of Nottingville. There’s a lady who gave up on all the rules after years of trying to follow them - Cynthia Louise. The Duke must choose a bride. Cynthia must find her niece a husband. Watching the Duke and Cynthia come together in this story is wonderful. She teaches him you don’t have to be perfect. He teaches her a little rules wouldn’t be so bad. Great story.
