The authors of AT THE DUKE'S WEDDING a Regency romance, reunite for the wedding of the year, that of Miss Jane Sparks and tech billionaire Duke Austen, from Maya Rodale's groundbreaking Bad Boy Billionaire series. What's most extraordinary is, with the exception of the always remarkable Ms. Rodale, it's the other three authors' first foray into contemporary romance, to amazing results.

Duke Austen and Jane Sparks are finally tying the knot, unfortunately the castle they had chosen burned down. They have to relocate, and who better than Jane's friend, wedding planner extraordinaire Arwen to have a look at Brampton House, which could be a suitable substitution. Miranda Neville handles the opening story with Arwen, who experiences all sorts of difficulties when arriving at Brampton House; nothing seems to be going her way, except where Harry the handyman is concerned: he's delish and there's absolutely nothing he can't fix.

Then there are problems with the food. Natalie, who is staying at a cottage nearby, thanks to the generosity of a friend, only wants peace and quiet while she endeavours to write a cookbook. That is not to be: the wifi connection at Brampton House is not working, and everyone tries to access the cottage's internet access. Archie Quinn, a workaholic lawyer is desperate to get online but he's also a sweets fiend, and sees to Natalie's every need in Caroline Linden's delectable concoction.

Katharine Ashe's contribution is more loosely tied to the main story line. Cali, a librarian friend of Jane's, becomes a bit of a Cinderella when she is gifted the means to attend the wedding of the year in England. Readers will be delighted with this ode to books while Ms. Ashe demonstrates that her magnificent prose translates splendidly into 21st century romance vernacular.

Lastly the great Maya Rodale handles the bachelor and bachelorette parties, the madcap war against paparazzi in her usual clever, witty fashion, to hilarious results and a romantic conclusion starring Jane's best friend, the romantically blasé Roxanna, the web gossip, who finally realises that everyone can aspire to a happily ever after. I did not expect any less from this brilliant and ingenious author!

What a treat that Maya Rodale would end her Bad Boy Billionaire series in such style! And it's a treat even if you haven't read Ms. Rodale's book; you will not be lost. I was amazed at how well the other ever-so-talented historical novelists transitioned so well into contemporary, but the revelation is most definitely Miranda Neville! I cannot even attempt to remain dignified: she is positively dazzling! Ms. Neville is at least as astounding at contemporary as she is at historical: simply genius!
