This is an anthology about 4 heiresses that were all at Mrs Harris School for some time.
In Sabrina Jeffries Ten Reasons to Stay I think the main characters fell in lust rather than in love. The hero is very vocal about not wanting to marry and changes his mind not because of the heroine but because of her evil uncle. Then the 10 reasons he gives her are supposed to be romantic but the whole sex scene backgroung just didn't work for me. When she makes the usual sacrifice and leaves him for h...more

Romance fans
I used to love romance novels and I still enjoy a couple of really good authors who tell their stories with a great mix of romance, wit, humor, and fairy tale fantasy.
This book, however, didn't really do it for me. Completely formulated, the four short stories that make up the collection are pretty much the same thing you'd read everywhere. A young heiress who must make a good match of course falls for the handsome scoundrel who her family may or may not disapprove of. In a short time, they...more

This is an anthology, but I just read Sabrina Jeffries' story, which is about Colin... (the Duke of Foxmoor's half-Indian cousin)
The story was good. It was only like 96 pages, so it was SHORT, but I thought the hero and heroine were well matched, if for no other reason than she isn't racist and he has a hero complex... haha.... But yeah, obviously in such a short story, there isn't time for a LOT of character development, etc., but I thought the story was nice, and all that.

Fans of smutty Regency
This book gets four stars simply because of the Renee Bernard short story (which set me on the disappointing course of reading her full-length novels). It will make you fan yourself vigorously. Otherwise, a cute conceit. The framing story of Jeffries' School for Heiresses series is intriguing...too bad they're so uneven.

The last story by Renee Bernard was the best of the four. It deserves four stars, but the others were all mediocre, so I gave the book three stars. I liked both the hero and heroine very much in the story by Bernard.

Cutesy, light, not much substance. 4 short stories with heiresses as the main characters.
