Oh well, 'I loved it!' will have to do, LOL.Īll things considered, this was 'only' a nice anthology. What's not to like? It's funny how I can't find anything else to say about this story. What can I say? I loved it! Her writing style, her characters, their playfulness and hot chemistry, the story itself. I liked how honorable Neill was and how spirited Katherine was, and liking the main characters is very important when it comes to short stories. Plus, it allowed me to 'know' Neill and Katherine better. Brockway's writing was too descriptive at times, but not enough to bore me. Thankfully, Connie Brockway's story was better - most likely because her H/h, Neill and Katherine, shared a past that made their HEA less abrupt and more believable. They were blah, had no chemistry, and their falling in love was too sudden to make their HEA believable. Quinn is still true to her fluffy writing style - which can be fun as she's already proven before - but I couldn't find myself caring for her H/h, Alec and Gwendolyn, in her contribution to this uneven anthology. Sadly, The Lady Most Likely.: A Novel in Three Parts was a huge disappointment in that regard. I keep reading Julia Quinn's books hoping to find the lovely, sweet magic that made the Bridgertons series great and has been gone (to only the gods know where) since then. Or in my case, like a little girl who laughed so hard she fell off her bed. Just ignore my ramblings and read the first story, you'll giggle like a little girl. I can't tell you how lovely it is to read a story with emotionally mature men. The book is quite tame as far as romance novels go, but it is still a refreshing break from books which rely on the main couple screwing each other's brains out and bridling and snapping at each other with barely concealed lust before admitting their feelings 3 pages before the book ends (before doing yet more unspeakable acts to each other, and ending with a thinly hinted future steamy liaison). The final pairings were so, so very obvious. I grew out of the Regency romance genre, but I have always been a huge fan of Julia Quinn's writing and this book reminded me why. My sister thought I was crazy, but maybe I'm just overly fond of bunnies (yes, the mention of bunnies is relevant to the book). The other two stories in the book was good, but oh man, Julia Quinn.I could not stop laughing at 2 specific pages in her story for 10 minutes. Hypocrisy, yay! However, I recently read this book and so enjoyed it that I feel I should be encouraging y'all to read it too :P

I read a book, enjoy it or not, and keep my opinion to myself, and yet I peruse Goodreads for reviews myself.
