Four Weddings and a Sixpence: An Anthology by Laura Lee Guhrke, Julia Quinn, Elizabeth Boyle
4.0
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.
