Three love stories, but I was unprepared going in. The amount of characters was overwhelming at first but fun and sweet.

I think my favorite couple was the middle one story. The first seemed too unlikely and the characters seemed not like real people, specifically Gwen seemed too awkward. In the last, Georgina and Hue seemed to take offense too easily and their romance felt problematic and odd.

I have said it before and I will say it again, I am very picky about historical/regency romance novels. I want them to have a great story, but I also want it to be believable along with great writing. When I received this book in the mail, I fell in love with the cover. The dress, the flowers and the overall classiness of the cover was beautiful. I also noticed right away the headlining authors that are popular in this genre.
In anthologies, you usually have different stories by different authors compiled into one book. What made this book different however, is the fact that this is one entire story written by three different authors. Each part of the book is written from a different author. When one author finishes their part, the next author picks up the story where she left off. This gives us one big novel producing the punch of three well known authors.
While I enjoyed the story and the writing styles of three different authors, I won't go as far to say the story itself was a favorite. I enjoyed it and I liked it, but it isn't one that I would rush out to own a copy to keep on my keeper shelf. Each author brought a unique voice to the story and it came together nicely. It was fluffy, romantic and fun, but not one I want to reread again. I can't pinpoint an exact cause for my feelings on this, but I do know that if you are a big fan of not only these authors but for this genre as well, then you might have a different opinion on it than I have.
An enjoyable and romantic read that will leave you with a feel-good satisfaction at the end, but not one I would own for future rereading. I would say that this book is best for the hard core historical romance readers who love this genre more than me.
