A Drakenfall Christmas Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 188 ratings

In this Christmas novel, Mark and Maisy, ahem, that is, Lord and Lady Shiley, get ready to celebrate their first Christmas together at Drakenfall, their renowned estate-turned-resort in the heart of the Cotswolds. The energetic and very un-aristocratic couple find themselves conspiring in guest shenanigans and getting tangled up in staff kerfuffles as they try to make the holidays warm and bright for everyone.

It's a Drakenfall Christmas ... topsy-turvy and heart-warming, generously sprinkled with laughter and lavishly frosted with romance​!

Lord Mark and Lady Maisy Shilley are preparing to celebrate Christmas at Drakenfall at the Cotswolds resort. There are three different romance storylines developing between Pippa Taylor and Kafi and Glynis Ferry and Shaun Fletcher who all work at Drakenfall and Lea and Jamie who are guests. This heart-warming story of friendship and love relationships is a wonderful holiday romance read.
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2017
This is a stand alone read with a very happy ever after for everyone. This story is a bit different. It is a story about an English Manor handed down from one Baron to the next. It is a modern day setting but for me, it also had a very 1800's feel in the attitude of the people, etc. The Baron goes to America for a visit and comes home with an American wife. Maisy is a bit on the free-spirit side and she helps bring life into the old manor. The manor has been going downhill for years and the new Baron is determined to bring it back to its old glory. He sets out to make it what we would call a B&B except it is on the ritzy side of renting rooms.

I found the story to be a bit confusing at first. Sex is implied but not acted out so it would appeal to most readers. One reviewer said it was a lot like Love Actually. It did have a lot of characters introduced in the first few pages so it was like meeting a room full of people. It is hard to remember names and what part they played. There was the Lord and Lady, they went by several names, titles, first names, etc. Then the manager of the house and the manager of the stables. There were 4 male and female employees that we get their story. Then there were the guest, at least 2 couples, a couple of old ladies, etc. Then there was the lady of the houses parents. So it was a bit confusing until you sorted it out and figured the parts that each one played. On one hand, it was very casual and friendly, the Lord and Lady go by their first names to one and all. But then it seemed like the employees even though they were pretty free with their comments to the Boss and Lady Boss, they also practiced the employee and employer relationship. I sort of went back and forth in my head with what period I was mentally in. I would be shocked when one of the employees was very frank with their opinion to the lady of the house! But it seemed to be ok. There were references to a GPS, a Mercedes limo, etc. so you know it is modern day. But then the groom uses a horse and sleigh to go into the village for groceries. Then another employee would use the Range Rover. So it was a bit of back and forth in time periods for me.

As you get into it, it does have a way of getting you caught up in the story each one is living. Most of them I could buy. I had a real problem with the Clay's from America. There is no way they could be like they were for over 30 years and then one night they become the perfect pair. I just didn't buy that. Nor could I buy the pair becoming loving parents enough to make a 3 hr. car ride to see their son at Christmas. Those kinds of people don't change overnight. All the rest were good endings. The story is entertaining and a fun read. I would definitely recommend it.

I was not paid for this review. I am not an author nor do I know one. I am not kin to this writer. I am a reader and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less.

A Drakenfall Christmas by Geralyn Corcillo
Geralyn Corcillo at KDP 2016 ISBN: 978-1-62678-016-3

Drakenfall resort in the village of Tippingstock is the place to be for Christmas. Owned and operated by Lord Mark Shiley and his American wife Maisy Potter, gives credence to the belief that magical things happen at Drakenfall. How else could an American girl have become the wife and true love of a Baron?

As the resort prepares for the lavish annual Christmas Ball, hope and expectation fill the air. Employees and guests alike wonder if they too might find a little magic and love this Christmas. But different cultures, social stations, goals and confusion collide and threaten to derail everyone’s chance at happiness.

The house manager Glynis feels that love, like the years, have passed her by. Pippa the maid is convinced that she is not worthy of Kafi’s interest, much less his affection. And when Maisy’s parents arrive on the scene unexpectedly, she fears her secret will ruin her charmed marriage with Mark.

A Drakenfall Christmas is entertaining, sweet and fun. The characters are an assortment of holiday gumdrops: colorful, rich, spicy, sweet, and even a sour one or two.

Geralyn succeeds in making readers believe that Christmas is indeed a magical time. In the words of one of her characters, ‘We enjoy the people who are always with us. We take time to experience the best there is to have right in our very own lives.’

And love is alive and possible more than at any other time of year.

This is the 1st book I've read written by Geralyn Corcillo; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I loved the chemistry between the characters.

I received a free copy of this book via booksprout and I’m voluntarily leaving a review.

Enjoyable Christmas read. Loved the diversity of the characters! Even though the many events, how they occurred and all were resolved was not realistic, that's not why you pick up a book that's about Christmas; it's all about the warm, happy feelings and you know everything will turn out the way you want it to.

If I had to describe this book in one word, I would choose “magical.” This is also how I view Ms. Corcillo’s writing overall. I’ve read every single one of her books and have enjoyed each to the very last word. I immediately fell in love with Mark and Maisy in Ms. Corcillo’s short story, Upstairs, Downstairs…and the Lift in Between, so when I discovered there was more to the story, I had trouble containing my excitement! A Drakenfall Christmas gives us a delightful view into the life of the staff and guests of a quaint English resort I would honestly like to visit. (I know it’s mythical, but Ms. Corcillo really makes you believe it exists!) You will be hooked from the beginning, shirking all your responsibilities so you can discover what will happen next. Though Mark and Maisy’s romance is well established, they play vital roles in the success of three other blooming relationships. And who doesn’t like having them around? Grab a cup of hot cocoa and settle in for the long haul! These captivating characters will make you giggle, gasp and swoon as they take you on a truly enchanting holiday adventure.

Just finished reading this second book in the Drakenfall series. And I loved it even more than the first one. The characters are all so interesting. It does not take long to get interested in each of their stories. Mz Corcillo has a really great style of writing. She gives you all the romance without getting crude. And I appreciated so much to be able to read such a well written book without filthy language thrown in. My hats off to an author who knows how to write in so much detail just using wonderful wit. I highly recommend this book, it is such an entertaining and enjoyable read.
