review 1: Smitten Book Club is an anthology of four short and sweet contemporary romance with one connecting element, the women are all part of the town Smitten's local Book Club. The stories were all interesting and sweet with each chapter of each story starting with a passage from a book that the women found in a box of old books for sale. Pearl Chambers " The Gentlewoman's Guide to Love and Courtship" seem to guide the women in the proper way to behave while in the pursuit of love, kind of. Great holiday reading.*ARC provided by the publisher thru NetGalley in return for an honest review*
