When I saw the Sylvia Day was headlining a historical romance anthology, I knew it would be steamy and I was not disappointed!
The Arrangement also features Minerva Spencer and Kristin Vayden and unlike many anthologies out there, I found each other equally strong. I found Day’s and Spencer’s novellas more on the erotic romance spectrum with Vayden’s at a slightly lower heat level.
The common thread in the three novellas is with their heroines, who find themselves at a disadvantage due their station in life and/or circumstances. However, what I l enjoyed about these stories was that none of them were waiting to be rescued and they were to the best of their ability making the most of their situations. The authors also didn’t fall into the trap of making their heroes overbearing and alphaholes, and I appreciated how the authors dealt with the uneven power dynamics in a historical setting.
This was a fun and easy read and I look forward to searching out books from Spencer and Vayden who were new to me.

This historical romance collection all feature a "a marriage of convenience." If that is your thing, then dive right in because you will love it. All three authors gave solid stories that will have you smiling. I enjoyed reading all of them.
I received a complimentary ARC for my honest review.

2 out of 3 ain't bad
The first story was garbage (just badly written smut with no plot). I would just skip straight to the second one

All wonderful stories by wonderful authors! Novellas usually make me nervous that it is not enough time to get a complete story. The Arrangement had me wanting more from each author but not because the stories were incomplete, because I did not want to leave them. Three different arrangements that do not go as planned.
