I picked up A Grosvenor Square Christmas as a Kindle Freebie on 11/1/13, at last check it is still free. This was a fantastic, light hearted and heart warming collection of short stories all centered around the same location, across a span of years.
Each story brings together a couple at Lady Winterson's Christmas ball. I like that the circumstances of the couples are varied, from their ages, to their stations in society to have been childhood friends who finally realize what they really mean to each other. I was also very pleased at the ending, though I can't say I was surprised, I mean Christmas stories generally end happily ever after, that's part of why we read them!
I highly recommend this one if you're into holiday reading, especially if you are taking part in the many different holiday read-a-thon's. It's light, fast and sweet. I gave it a 4/5.

I got this recently as well. I can't wait to read it, and I'm interested to see how I enjoy each author's stories because a couple of them are still new to me. Glad you enjoyed it :)
