A brazen Highlander wants his heir-and-a-spare married and
breeding, so he abducts three potential brides. His clansman
manage to grab an extra lady and an English duke at the same
time. Their caravan makes it back to the castle just before
a massive winter storm moves in.
They're trapped.
Julia Quinn, Eloisa James and Connie Brockway collaborated
on THE LADY MOST WILLING. They each wrote a section of the
book focused on one of the couples thrown together by Laird
Taran Ferguson's reckless raid. Each of the stories could
stand alone, but they also make up, as the cover says, "a
novel in three parts."
Each of the heroes and heroines is unique and interesting,
and they're quite enterprising in devising group
entertainments and opportunities to be alone.
It's quite delightful to get so many love stories in one
book, and the happy endings are spread throughout the book,
so you don't have to wait until the very end. It's also
pleasant to have the whole book to get to know the
characters and setting, without having to start from scratch
at the beginning of each story with a traditional anthology.
THE LADY MOST WILLING will be enjoyed by Regency and
Highland romance fans, and reading it is the second best
thing to do if you're snowed in.
You are cordially invited to a ball party
kidnapping...
Taran Ferguson, laird of his clan, is determined that his
ancient (if not so honorable) birthright be secured, and
when both his nephews refuse to wed, the old reprobate
takes matters into his own hands: he raids a ball and
makes
off with four likely brides...
Miss Marilla Chisholm–– the BONNIEST LASS in
Scotland, and an heiress to boot.
Miss Fiona Chisholm–– her older sister, ANOTHER
FINE CHOICE (but for that tiny stain on her reputation)
Lady Cecily Tarleton–– TRUE, SHE'S AN English
BEAUTY, but very, very rich.
Miss Catriona Burns–– WITHOUT NAME OR FORTUNE,
CLEARLY SOMEONE MADE A MISTAKE
OH, YES. AND ONE VERY IRATE DUKE
I loved how three talented authors contributed to creating this fairytale-like romance novel with three unique romantic storylines. Readers will be caught off guard by the depth of the passion each author lovingly infused into each romance. Four beauties are unexpectedly kidnapped by a Scottish laird, who is determined that each of his nephews will find a splendid match. Only Taran Ferguson's clever plan does not go according to plan. Not only do the authors present romance at it's finest, they add plenty of humor and mystery to this fabulously unique and unbelievably dreamy romance novel. Savor each page in this novel, because it's not everyday that one comes across a romance that is written to perfection. (Elizabeth Crowley 7:43pm March 11, 2013)
