Once upon a time, four superstar storytellers—New York Times bestselling authors Stephanie Laurens and Mary Balogh, along with Jacquie D'Alessandro and Candice Hern—came up with a delicious idea. What if they each wrote a story about a proper young lady stranded at a remote inn away from society's constraints? What would happen? And how long would it take for her to give in to desire? In these four amazing tales, four heroines will come face-to-face with the men who got away . . . only to discover that, instead of anger, there is still a passionate connection that cannot be denied. And while each of their lives is quite different, and their pasts utterly unique, they will all make a common discovery—that one night can change everything . . . forever. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Four novellas on the same themeThis book contains four romantic stories based on a similar theme - that of two people meeting randomly at an inn ten years after they last saw each other. Each story approaches the subject differently and with variable success.

I bought this for the Mary Balogh story because I don't generally like Laurens and have never read books by the other two. I left Balogh's till last and must admit I rather sped ...

Rating: 4 stars * Grade: B- Rake, gamester, and womanizer Robert "Rogue" Gerrard, fifth Viscount Gerrard, was the only man to ever steal Lydia Makepeace's heart. In their foolish youth, "Ro" was both her protector and white ... Read More Rating: - a one-time readI have got to stop buying books with multiple authors. The shorter stories usually have things happening too fast. This one came with everyone hating each other. The stories were depressing. It was an one-time read for me. Rating:  - I was mesmirized by this bookThe Christmas Edition The stories are written in such a way that the reader can easily connect. The writing is excellent. Reading this book made me remember those long ago loves of my own. Excellent and a great winter read. |
