review 1: This was a fun little Christmas novella good for an afternoon read. It is a stand alone title, so the entire story is having to be told in the 60 or so pages, including the character developement. It went fairly well until almost the end, then there was a BIG jumble when the wedding scene came and the "who's little girl are you" story came out... it was very hard to follow, and I had to read it about 4 times befor I understood the majority... I finally gave up and moved on! Like most novella's it wraps up too quick and neat, but it is what it is, like I said, a fun afternoon read.
review 2: For those of us who read a lot of Ms Sand's books but may shy away from anthologies for fear that we will not like all the authors in them, this is the perfect alternate. "... moreThree French Hens" was previously publish in the anthologies "Five Gold Rings" and "A Historical Christmas Present", so you can make sure you don't have those before you purchase this novella. This was an entirely very sweet story of two young women one a scullery maid and the other a high born lady who switch identities during the Christmas season. The reason for this is that Lady Joan wants to get out of a pre-arranged marriage, and Brinna the scullery maid needs some coin to help her elderly friend Aggie retire.Unfortunately or fortunately it depends on how you look at it, the ruse worked all too well and Brinna ends up falling for Lady Joan's betrothed Royce of Thurleah.I had wondered how Ms Sands was going to dig her way out of this plot predicament, but I shouldn't have feared. Ms Sands did it and fairly well too. It may seem that the ploy is a little trite, but this is a Christmas novella and at this time of the year predictable, sweet and romantic is just what we all need to get through the holiday's. less
