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!

Miss Marilla Chisholm–– the BONNIEST LASS in
Scotland, and an heiress to boot.

FINE CHOICE (but for that tiny stain on her reputation)

BEAUTY, but very, very rich.

CLEARLY SOMEONE MADE A MISTAKE
