All the „getting to know you” romance happens off the page. Or, I’m guessing, on some other pages in another book I’ve not read. So, not a good entry, or start to this anthology. Entertaining anthology by big time historical romance authors, most of whom don’t normally https://countrywaybridalboutique.com/scottish-brides/ write about Scotland. The Dodd story is very sexy, the others are just „regular sexy.” The Quinn story has a lot of humor. 4 – This story was a pleasant surprise, since I don’t remember reading anything by the author before and I really liked her writing.

Rose and Duncan’s friendship, animosity, and romance sizzled on the pages. They have such great chemistry and are obviously perfect for each other, but they’re so blind they couldn’t see it.

The details and every little piece of information were precious. Okay first off Mom and I have never read any Stephanie Laurens books; before we started reading the Black Cobra Series. We like the Cobra series but more for being a nice fluffy read and nothing else. Other people seemed disappointed by the stories and now we can understand why. Not that the Black Cobra was bad, but that Rose in Bloom has some amazing A+ writing.

I’ve had this anthology for years, not even sure where I got it. I usually don’t do romance anthologies, though I’m a huge fan of non-romance short stories. I was going to put it in my swap/sell pile, but as three of the authors in this collection are authors I really, really like, I think I’ll give it a read first. Christina Dodd’s entry was the worst of the bunch. Honestly it seemed like something that should have been a free vignette for her fans that read whatever series the story is from. It was not a stand alone story, is what I’m saying. The story starts when the H/h have already met, had sex, and broken up.

Given their eight-year age difference, that’s understandable. After twelve years apart, Duncan returns home for the summer with a potential bride in tow. Rose, likewise, has a potential husband with her. Though he finds Rose just as frustrating as ever, she’s not the same hoyden he remembers. Rose can’t help but tease the stoic, controlled man, and the game soon changes to one neither of them expected.

Rose and Duncan have a great rapport and click together. This is one of those stories that actually does feel complete as a short story, and not rushed or incomplete; this is maybe because they already know each other well. Readers become writers, and Christina has always been a reader. Ultimately she discovered she liked to read romance best because the relationship between a man and a woman is always humorous. A woman wants world peace, a clean house, and a deep and meaningful relationship based on mutual understanding and love. A man wants a Craftsman router, undisputed control of the TV remote, and a red Corvette which will make his bald spot disappear. Another strikingly dramatic and deeply compelling tale by KAREN RANNEY. A legend decrees that the sexy Laird of Sinclair must marry a woman he has never met.

All the Sherbrooke clan are alive, well and in rip-roaring spirits in August of 1815. The document, signed and sealed by King Henry himself, commanded lady Juliana of Lofts to marry Raymond, Count of Avraché. Reprinted by permission of HarperCollins Publishers, Inc. „That′s true,” Lady Valery acknowledged. It had taken her courier two days to get there, one day to search out Andra′s housekeeper and get an answer to her letter, and two days to get back. Once Lady Valery had diagnosed the malady that vexed him, she had resolved to set all to rights, and her plan, as always, was working perfectly. „Andra MacNachtan is unreasonable.” He scowled into his goblet.

First of, we will go by each author, Christina Dodd story Under the Kilt was just beautiful it had some awesome sexual tension and focused on a tradition that was believable. I always feel that there isn’t enough time for character development. My favorite one was „The Glenlyon Bride” – it had all the Scottish magic that I love so it gets 5 stars. Everything about this novella was just bad. Couldn’t bring myself to finish more than one and a half chapters. I’m not really a fan of insta-love, but these two are just so perfect for each other, I never doubted that they belonged together.

This is a great novella, and I really liked the H/h. Andra is in charge of running and repairing the crumbling MacNachtan Clan castle. After past hurt in her childhood, she refuses to marry but longs for Hadden as he longs for her. When he demands to know about the legendary Marriage Kilt, she finds herself locked in the attic with a man who refuses to take no for an answer.
