Summary: (if NO stars were an option!) This book is awful...
Comment: ...and the first clue should be the enlarged type-face used to make the book seem longer than it actually is. The stories are trite, the chracters dated, and frankly, I expected a lot better from 3 of my favorite authors.
If you're a collector of certain authors, I could see purchasing this anthology, but I also collect, and this book was so bad, I couldn't even finish the first story. I took it back to the store ASAP.
Rating: 2
Summary: Not as good as it should have been
Comment: In my opinion, the only story here worth reading is Julia Quinn's. I couldn't believe how disappointed I was with Lisa Kleypas' story, given how much I loved Dreaming of You, and Kinley McGregor's story was terribly dull.
Rating: 4
Summary: A Great Collaboration!!!
Comment: I loved this book. These three ladies are some of my all time favorite historical romance authors and it was fun to have them all together under one cover! The stories are short and fast but sweet just the same, and it was fun to see old friends return if for only just a short time.
Lisa Kleypas' story is about Derek and Sara Craven's daughter Lydia. Lydia is going to be marrying soon and it's not going to be a love match but that's okay with Lydia. She is somewhat of a bluestocking and her mathmatical calculations show that the chances of her marrying for love are astronomically not in her favor. Besides just because her parents married for love does not mean that she is going to have the same joy. That is until she is locked in a wine celler with Dr. Jake Linley. She once had a big crush on the handsome doctor but that has changed or has it? There is no question that the good doctor brings out the worst in her, that is until they are together and have a chance to talk. Maybe she won't have a loveless marriage after all.
Kinley MacGregor's story is a new series beginning which is the "Brotherhood of the Sword". Simon is a landless knight and has fallen in love with a scottish lass but there is a problem here. Kenna is the cousin of the King of Scotland, and Simon is without title, land, or prosepects. Oh...and there is the small problem that Kenna thinks that she is writing to a different man. How can they both get what they want...a chance to love each other (that is after the mix-up is corrected)and live happily ever after? You'll just have to read the story.
Julia Quinn's story is my favorite out of the three and it's Ned Blydon's (From Splendid)turn to fall in love. Problem is he is engaged to one sister, and he is feeling things for the other. Of course he is upset about nothing because it turns out his fiancee has other plans that do not include Ned. Maybe Ned can have that love match that his sister Belle keeps prattleing on about. Ms. Quinns trademark humor, romance, and characterization is plenty evident in this short story.
As I stated before these were three great stories. I only wish that these were full length stories but beggers can't be choosers. In any case they were fun stories and they were a pleasure to read.
