THE LADY MOST WILLING is a novel written in three parts by accomplished, heavy-hitting authors Julia Quinn, Eloisa James and Connie Brockway. Set in Scotland during a Christmas pilgrimage at a castle, dear old Uncle Taran has kidnapped four potential brides from an English lord's Christmas party for Comte de Rochforte and his cousin, the Earl of Oakley to choose from. By mistake, his men also took Lord Bretton who just happened to be asleep in the carriage they stuffed the women in. Now, with too many people in the castle and the wintery weather keeping them inside, the residents of the castle soon find themselves pairing up and, one-by-one, falling in love.

THE LADY MOST WILLING is certainly the most unique way of telling a story. With three authors with distinct writing styles, I thought reading this book would be a bit of a challenge. Initially, I had believed that there would be separate parts to this book, each showcasing a happily-ever-after. However, this story reads just like a regular novel, just with three pairings and a quicker pace.

Each happily-ever-after is fulfilling and satisfying, though I do wish readers could get a chance to have those romances fleshed out more. The fast pace is what made this novel work, but I also felt that events happened very quickly as well, sometimes to the point of overlooking areas in which an author should have spent more time on. Nevertheless, this book was funny, sweet and full of holiday fun! If you're looking to sample new authors but are not a fan of anthologies, then this is the perfect opportunity get a taste of new writing! Who knows, maybe you'll fall in love yourself!
