review 1: Like I said above, this little novella was very fun and helpful in getting me ready for Win’s full story. It was entertaining to watch our hero, Lord Stillwell, having a hard time holding onto a woman long enough to get her to the altar.I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry for the poor man! Three times he comes close, and no cigar! Each woman is carefully chosen by him, and in the end each jilts him for another man.I admired the man for being able to accept the inevitable with understanding of all the women that were ‘almost’ his bride.You really don’t have to read this novella before the full Win and Felicia story, but I think you should because it’s well written, very entertaining and very enlightening about the hero.*Book provided by the publisher through ... moreNetGalley.Melanie for b2b
review 2: A novella, or longish short story, “Lord Stillwell’s Excellent Engagement” is Victoria Alexander’s kind of “bridge” work to further develop the character of Winfield Elliott, Viscount Stillwell who was first introduced in What Happens at Christmas and who will be the main character in “The Importance of Being Wicked.” This little story details three unfortunate engagements in Lord Stillwell’s march toward a mature relationship founded on the right reasons, unlike his earlier aborted marriage attempts. The novella was entertaining, but not very exciting. It does, however, fill in the gaps, so to speak, and build a back story upon which to build in the new novel. I normally like Alexander’s work and look forward to a fuller story in the novel. less

A short story about three engagements of the hero of a full-length novel. Entertaining.
