I have read one of the story but will finish with the next series. So far it has been very good I read the story of Jeaniene Frost Devil to Pay and as always she has made another great story and can't wate for the next.

I just finished the story by Tracy Anne Warren, it was really good I love the guy in this book a lot kind reminds me of my husband.
And the way he is with her in the end is just how things happened with us as we'll. so it was a good read and now on my way to finish the series of the Byron's brothers. I love the way she make the story's change from one to the other with good twist and amazing love between the charters.

This is a collection of five short stories
"Irish Duke" 2,5*
"Duke Who Came to Dinner" 2,5*
"Devil to Pay" 4*
"Catch of the Century" 3,5*
"Charmed by Her Smile" 3*

I havent been paying attention to the authors of the stories when I first started this book.
I was plesantly surprissed with third story being Jeannine Frost story. Her Night Huntress books are on my TBR for a while now and I never seem to get to them. This story showed me what to expect and I liked it.
First story was not bad but I guess it took me a while to get into the romance genre.
Second story was missing something to be interesting to me - without historical, comic or supernatural elements it felt way too bland :/
Fourth story was intriguing.
And the last story had potential for something good.

slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This didn't fit my personal taste, but the stories were fine. I really enjoyed Sophia Nash's story.

I only read the Tracy Ann Warren novella. I think she could have stretched it into a full novel.

This was an odd grouping of stories, not much of a common theme. Three regencies, a contemporary, and a paranormal. Not all had a duke (in one book, the duke was a dog named duke!) Most too short to really get a feel for the characters before they were over.

I enjoyed Devil to Pay by Jeaniene Frost even though I rarely read paranormal.

My favourite was Charmed by Her Smile by Tracy Anne Warren (the story I bought the book for).

I will admit that I only read the short story by Jeaniene Frost. Not too bad, there is a small part from Cat and Bones, but mostly two characters I have never seen. Mencheres has a larger part than Bones, but still a minor character.

This anthology was quite a fascinating read. Spanning across different periods and talking about different kinds of people, the sweet romance that is present in each tale reminds us to never give up on happily-ever-afters.

Loved the interplay of the characters in the Irish Duke, it was fun to see courtly politics be turned into something I found amusing.

The ghost story The Duke who Came to Dinner was alright, if a fairly typical short story of two strangers falling in love in seconds.

Love Devil to Pay as a homage to the movie Fallen, because sometimes Time is not on your side.

Catch of the Century and Charmed by Her Smile were similar in plot and story structure, but both went in wildly different directions to get to the same point. I had a great time comparing them inside my head.
