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.

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.
