The three stories in this book and the three authors are guilty of writing what I call 20th century Regency. The fourth story takes place in 1998 and does not do this, obviously. I do not care for a 20th century woman being plopped down in a Regency setting. It just shows that the author has no real feel for history and the mores of the times. They seem to think that women were the same then as they are now, which just isn't true, so I can't really give this book much of a rating.
The first story was okay by Brenda Joyce, the second by Rexanne Becnal is good, but the last two by Jill Jones , Barbara Dawson Smith were not.To me this is a complete miss , and the two star rating is for the second book, other stories deserve none.
I loved The Love Match and Beauty and the Brute, I didn't like In the Light of Day and I liked A Weddin' or a Hangin'. I always seem more charmed by the regency romances than those set in other eras. I guess it shouldn't really surprise me, but the author of the novella I liked the best, Barbara Dawson Smith, is the one author whose books I collect.
