As an unabashed lover of all things Regency England, it shouldn't be surprising that I jumped all over the chance to review this wonderful little collection of seven novellas. Michelle Griep and MaryLu Tyndall happen to be favorites of mine, so I was reasonably sure I'd love at least two of the included stories. Luckily for me, I thoroughly enjoyed almost every single one! Each takes a look at different aspects, regions, and peculiarities of a fascinating time in English history, while telling a host of lovely love stories. I was least impressed with Susanne Dietze's
Three Little Matchmakers, and Nancy Moser's
When I Saw His Face, but Griep and Tyndal's additions did not disappoint, and I was particularly impressed with Amanda Barratt's
First Comes Marriage. I also may have re-read the end of Erica Vestch's
Jamie Ever After an embarrassing number of times. I'll certainly be adding Barratt and Vestch to my list of authors to watch. Short and sweet, these seven stories kept me more than entertained on a rainy weekend a few weeks ago!
I received a free copy from the publisher. No review, positive or otherwise, was required—all opinions are my own.
