I would commit arson to have Bee’s story be a full length novel. Honestly to have all of them be full length novels

3.5 Great anthology. I have always been a Julia Quinn fan, and she didn't disappoint with this collection. I also especially liked Stefanie Sloan's story and plan to take a peek at other stories she has written. Great read. It would be the perfect choice to read on the way to an out-of-town wedding!

I enjoyed almost all the stories, though Cordie and Kipp's (Something Borrowed - 5 stars) and Bea and Frederick's (...and a Sixpence in Her Shoe - 4 stars, would've been 5 if a bit more in the way of plot) were my faves.
"Something Blue," however, I loathed. Lawrence, the so-called hero of the piece, was an absolute jerk to the heroine. He taunted, manipulated, even blackmailed her, for pity's sake. A gentleman would've behaved better, would've found less ass-hatty ways to achieve his aims with the heroine. As well, I'd have respected the heroine more if, when she did have the upper hand over the "hero," she'd taken the blighter down a peg. As it stands, it's she who was under pressure, she who had to face a difficult truth, she who had to grow past a problem, and all while the "hero" tormented her. Ugh.

Great stories! Reminded me of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Historical style!
