A Lady of Expectations and Other Stories by Stephanie Laurens, Kasey Michaels, Nicola Cornick
poeseph29's review against another edition
3.0
I didn't like the first and longest story because the Protagonist had no personality, except that she is nice and blond and pretty. The other two stories where better and I wish they were longer.

the first story was ok, but the second was lame, and the third I swear I've read in another compilation. so it was redundant.

A Lady of Expectations
I cannot believe I'm saying this, but I wish she'd nixed the sex scenes, or at least kept them all to second base or so. The hero's "seduction" consisted of a lot of ignoring her when she said no. And I think it detracted from a plot and subplot that I found delightful! The novella was just short of 300 pages - if she'd bulked out the subplot I would happily have read and reread it as a novel.
Just under 4 stars, entirely because of the "no means try harder" sex scenes.
The Secrets of a Courtesan
Really enjoyed! I liked seeing both POVs but was really into the heroine's.
How to Woo a Spinster
Too short! I liked them both and I wanted chapters and chapters of them having angsty Oh No A Funeral pains and more of all the side characters. And a plot that wasn't resolved with "whatever, we don't care." But I loved what I got.
