At the Duke's Wedding by Miranda Neville, Caroline Linden, Katharine Ashe
3.0
Overall a good series of stories, though I enjoyed Rodale's and Linden's contributions the most.
"That Rogue Jack" by Maya Rodale - Lady Sophronia is a hoot and it was nice to have a heroine who wasn't of the highest station in life. She actually had a job to do (albeit one she seemed to spend less and less time at as the story progressed) and her survival and position in life depended upon doing it well. Jack is a somewhat forgettable hero, but I think he makes a good foil to Henrietta's serious nature.
"P.S.I Love You" by Miranda Neville - The letter conceit was fun, and I'm glad the heroine called Christian out on the pompous tone of the first letter. I didn't really believe the ending but whatever.
"When I Met My Duchess" by Caroline Linden - Favorite of the bunch. Another heroine who has a job, but this time against the wishes of her family and one she enjoys very much. I appreciate her loyalty to her sister and willingness to sacrifice for her, even as Cleopatra has to suffer through her parents awful remarks about her. I'm glad they finally got told off in the end! I don't think this story would have worked so well if
"How Angela Got Her Rogue Back" by Katherine Ashe - Meh. I'm not really a fan of time-travel romance. The comic book concept was fun and I enjoyed that the hero had a passion for something other than sporting and drinking, but the story was just okay. I can't suspend disbelief enough to go along with Angela being accepted by all the party guests while knowing very little of how to behave in high society and running about with no family. And I'm biased against heroes who have too "modern-sounding" names, so I would have preferred he be called Trenton all the time, not Trent - though I'm guessing nicknames were a thing even in the Regency era.

Helen hadn't been able to find a happy ending with James. I did like the fact that she wasn't all that excited to be marrying a duke - I can imagine it would be a frightening prospect for a young, sheltered girl at that time."How Angela Got Her Rogue Back" by Katherine Ashe - Meh.
