I'm giving the book 4 stars because of the story by Wilma Counts The Way to a Man's Heart.

I love these short stories and I have read this book many times. I liked the short stories and esp cheesecake getting thrown at people.

"Cakes, Kisses, and Confusion" is from Lynn Collum. There is confusion between "Annabelle Hill" and "Ann Hill," and John, Earl of Sedgefield leaves with the wrong one. The error has a comedic touch.
"The Way to a Man's Heart" is from Wilma Counts. A bet sends Nicole Beaufort to work in a kitchen for six weeks at the Earl of Thornwood's home. Not a likely story, but delightful to read nonetheless.
Jo Ann Ferguson writes "Not His Bread and Butter." Meredith is a servant in Percy's household, but she is part of the gentry. At the end, her father becomes a marquess, and he does not want Meredith to marry a simple baron, especially one in a debt ridden situation. This is not too logical. In the first two chapters, the book refers to him as a "baron," but the back cover refers to him as a "viscount." Also, at the end, he gets a special license to marry Meredith. As he lives in the North of England, how does this happen? One had to go to Doctors Commons for a special license. That was in London. A long journey in those days.

Meh. Only one really good story and like most novella romance compilations, we don't see enough interaction between the characters to buy the whole love thing. A full book for each story would be better. Not bad, but not fantastic either. At least the stories were clean.
