Rodale-Jack, an easily distracted rogue, has lost the Duke’s heirloom betrothal ring and lady’s companion Henrietta must help him find it. This was my least favorite of the four as I didn’t especially enjoy the flow of the writing here. 3⭐️ Neville-The scarred Earl of Bruton helps his dull cousin Frank woo Lady Rosanne through letters and loses his own ❤️. I really loved this one! Sweetly written with a strong but sensitive hero who is himself wooed by an intelligent, feisty heroine. 4.5⭐️ Linden-The Duke realizes he is betrothed to the wrong sister in a case of love at first sight with her widowed sister Cleo. Also nicely written about an honorable man who is totally at a loss as to how to correct his mistake and marry the independently original sister of his fiancé without being a total cad. 4.3⭐️ Ashe-Angela, a 21st-century American academia, rights a wrong and meets her match in Trenton, a British viscount caught in an impossible situation, 200 years in the past. This one was really fun as well, as I don’t believe Ashe has ever written a time-travel romance before. 4.4⭐️ I enjoyed this anthology, most especially Linden’s, Ashe’s and Neville’s novellas. (In Neville’s case, this was sadly some of her last writing as she passed last year). Fun and light-hearted reads nicely pieced together as a whole. Totally recommend. Novellas by four different authors, all set at the same house party. These authors have banded together for an anthology before. This time the outcome was a lot more enjoyable, thanks to Caroline Linden's improvement and Miranda Neville's stellar work. The other two authors I probably won't read again. Katharine Ashe's time travel story never surpassed mediocrity, and Maya Rodale... her nonsensical characters drove me crazy, let alone the historical inaccuracies. I loved the first three stories which did a great job of weaving all the characters at the party together. However, the fourth story was a time travel story and just didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the book. It was almost like someone said 'we need another story' so this was tacked onto the end weaved into the house party. It was just a jolt that I didn't enjoy. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Of the four authors who wrote this anthology, I had only ever read books written by two of them, Caroline Linden, and Katharine Ashe – both authors I had really enjoyed and, therefore, had expected a good book from. They did not disappoint.
The first three stories are historical regency, and the last one has a paranormal/magical setting involving both the our current time and the Regency era, which I thought I wasn’t going to like because I was hoping for a typical historical romance story – it ended up being my favourite!
It was a fun and enjoyable book, with our usual rogues, and heroines that dazzled us with their intelligence and witty retorts. Each novella brought a unique element to complete the story, and it was exciting to see how every piece started to fit and make sense as a whole. I’ll, definitely, be reading more books written by these authors. ( )
