Against the Odds: [Lisa Kleypas:] Jake Linley is in love with mathematical genius Lydia Craven. Unfortunately for him, she's engaged to marry boring Lord Wray. Can he convince her to change her mind?
This story was very sweet, with love triumphing. It felt a little incomplete, however. It should have been longer.
Midsummer's Knight: [Kinley MacGregor:] Simon has taken to answering Stryder's mail, and in responding to the witty letters of Kenna. He finds himself falling for he...more

I'm not sure why I continue to torment myself with these Anthologies, most of the time there's 1 slight glimmer of hope with at least 2 other hard slogs which was very much the case in this novel. Julia Quinn's name was enough to entice me to pick up this book, Lisa Kleypas helped a little as well.
Lisa Kleypas's story picked up seemingly in the middle of the story. All of the characters knew one another and were discussing events of a few days past. I couldn't relate to the characters with ...more

Not a bad offering. Lisa Kleypas's story picked up pretty much in the middle of the action. And I'm not sure how she and Jake could go from hate to love quite so fast.
Kinley MacGregor's story wasn't terrible, but I found myself much more interested in the backstory--what happened before this story began.
Julia Quinn's was my favorite--it seemed to be the most rounded out of all the novellas,
I understand it's considerably more difficult to develop characters, plot, setting, and have ...more

Julia Quinn's novella is called "A Tale Of Two Sisters" and features NED BLYDON (Belle's brother/Emma's cousin). It's a short story, but it's cute.
Okay, so Ned (whose real name is actually Edward... not sure how they got NED out of Edward, but whatever) is engaged to Lydia Thornton, who he doesn't love, and who doesn't love her--marriage of convenience and all that. Anyway, three days before the wedding, he meets her SISTER, Charlotte. Lydia elopes with some other guy and Charlo...more

Although the three stories in this book were short, they were great!
Lisa Kleypas did a wonderful job in bringing the passion between her two characters to life (as always)
Julia Quinn's story was absolutely adorable.
And finally Kinley McGregor, although this is the first story I have ever read by her I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I read this because Julia Quinn contributed one of the stories, and she and Jennifer Crusie are my romance writers. The three stories focus on supporting characters from the writer's earlier novels. Nothing special, but a quick, fun read.

You think I would have liked the story about Sara and Derek's daughter and Jake Lynley. It was pretty good. I thought it could have been better. I loved Simon of Ravenswood's story. He's so adorable.

I'm bucking the trend on this one. I loved the Lisa Kleypas story. Thought she did an excellent job weaving the backstory into the current action.
The other two left me a litte cold.
