Summary: Sweet, overall
Comment: Being a Scottish girl myself, I was pleased to happen upon this book. Also, being a huge Julia Quinn fan didn't hurt. The four short stories all dealt with, obviously, Scotland in one way or the other. Christina Dodd, who also served as editor, was the reason "Scottish Brides" merited only four stars from me. Her story was simply the weakest. Julia Quinn delivered wonderfully and I again laughed out loud and woke up my roommate. Stephaine Laurens was in fine form, very akin to "Devil's Bride" and "A Rake's Vow." Karen Ranney, whose work I had never read, impressed me a great deal and actually used some Gallic. This is a great book, overall, and a fun, light read for a rainy fall day.

Summary: Beautiful - A Joy to Read
Comment: I can't understand why anyone would not instantly fall in love with the four stories in this book. It's the best collection of short stories I have ever read. Each story was beautiful -- full of emotion, love and exciting endings. I hope these authors make another short story book. I will be first in line to get it.
I used to prefer long novels to short stories, but this book has convinced me of the pleasure of a good short story. Get it.

Summary: Where are those five stars?
Comment: I bought the book after reading the glorious praises on this site, and I was very disappointed. Only Julia Quinn's story saves the rest of the book, her humorous characters made out a lively story. I know Stephanie Laurens' style so I didn't mind her slow pace."Rose in Bloom" is just sweet enough for short romance. My biggest disappointment is on Christina Dodd's "Under the Kilt", the characters are premature, the dialogues boring and the plot weak. The last story by Karen Ranney is so illogical. Mixed up identities from both main characters until the end of the story? Give me a break. Reading romance does not mean losing our mind.
