"Charming Tales Worth Your Time"

Fresh Fiction Review

Four Weddings and a Sixpence
Laura Lee Guhrke, Stefanie Sloane, Julia Quinn, Elizabeth Boyle

Reviewed by Kristen Donnelly

Romance Historical | Romance Anthology

This anthology opens with four girls in a boarding school, bonding over a sixpence found in a mattress. Deciding that it contained magical powers - like a certain pair of jeans 150 or so years later - they knew it would bring them each love and vowed to keep it in their circle until it did. From that point forward, our four girls are each turned over into the hands of four fantastic authors who know Regency-era storytelling very well. For me, personally, Stefanie Sloane and Julia Quinn's installments are the most successful - mostly because I bonded with the heroines almost immediately. I was charmed by the other two stories and can broke no real complaints about them, the others just stuck with me more. This is a no-brainer buy for anyone who enjoys any of these authors. Added bonus is that if you're only familiar with one, you may discover new favorite storytellers to explore! Recommended for sure.

SUMMARY

Beloved authors Julia Quinn, Elizabeth Boyle, Laura Lee Guhrke, and Stefanie Sloane deliver the stories of four friends from Mrs. Rochambeaux’s Gentle School for Girls who find an old sixpence in their bedchamber and decide that it will be the lucky coin for each of their weddings... “Something Old” Julia Quinn’s prologue introduces her heroine, Beatrice Heywood, and the premise for Four Weddings and a Sixpence. “Something New” In Stefanie Sloane’s unforgettable story, an ever-vigilant guardian decrees that Anne Brabourne must marry by her twenty-first birthday. But love finds her in the most unexpected of ways. “Something Borrowed” Elizabeth Boyle tells the tale of Cordelia Padley, who has invented a betrothed to keep her family from pestering her to wed. Now she’ll need to borrow one to convince them she’s found her true love. “Something Blue” In Laura Lee Guhrke’s story, unlucky Lady Elinor Daventry has her sixpence stolen from her and must convince the rake who pilfered the coin to return it in time for her own wedding. “ ...and a Sixpence in Her Shoe”
