review 1: Three short stories, and I have to say, I liked the second one the best. The first, and the third didn't do as much for me. I felt like both the first and third were more rushed, emotionally for me. Though in the third one, the dueling pistols were hilarious. I thought that was great fun. They were all nice, and unique stories, I thought, though. Not re-hashes of the same old thing. So good job to the authors for that aspect. I get that it's probably hard to get the full emotional pow in a shorter story, and there were emotions in them, just not as much as I like. I will likely get a full length book from each author, because I liked the styles of all three, and would like to see what they do with full length books.
review 2: Royal Bridesmaids was borrowed from
... more the public library, mainly to read Loretta Chase's short story, Lord Lovedon's Duel.I loved the Noirot sisters' stories so far, Marcelline in Silk is for Seduction and Sophie's in Scandal wears Satin. So I was happy to find that this little tale was about the daughters of Mrs Sharp who was a loyal customer of Maison Noirot and that the bride and groom had been introduced by Lord Longmore. I knew I was in for a luscious sartorial treat! It was the best of the 3 stories although it was very short but well worth the read. I would rate this story a 4 star read on its own.The other 2 stories were a bit underwhelming.The first one kinda dragged on but was not terrible, The second story by Gaelan Foley was a bit farcical, taking place in a make believe polygamous land with gondolas, camels, royal elephants - a veritable Venetian circus complete with acrobats! It was mildly entertaining in a fairy tale way. I was not impressed enough to want to add any of Stephanie Lauren's or Gaelen Foley's books to my TBR pile. less
