Summary: Disappointing effort from fine writers
Review: Lisa Kleypas and Julia Quinn are wonderful writers. This book is not up to either of their usual work. Often collection of short stories and novelas are a disappointment. I was surprised to find this book fit that stereotype.

Summary: Not enough of some, too much of others
Review: Lisa Kleypas' story is charming, but I wish I'd been able to find the book these characters came from . . . still looking. Julia Quinn's is my favorite (it gets a 5 all by itself, but I wish it was a whole book!). As for the medieval knights in Kinley MacGregor's story. UGH is all I can say. Too long, and too boring, and sorely lacking in historical detail. No mention of the type of dress or armour being worn. Not even any real scene setting. It's all just amorphously "medieval". All in all, an ok beach read, but not thrilling.

Summary: This is my dream collaboration of authors
Review: Okay, so admittedly I have not yet read MacGregor's novella, since I have yet to get my hands on the preceding Master of Desire, but a thoroughly enjoyed Kleypas' Against All Odds and Quinn's A Tale of Two Sisters. Though I'm sure some of my emotional response to Odds can be attributed to the fact that I was dead tired while reading it (I could NOT put it down!) the story was incredibly sweet. Kleypas has a way of portraying intense emotion (longing in particular)through her words that is unmatched. Plus we get the added bonus of catching up with Jake Linely and the Craven's, need I say more? Then of course there is Quinn's story. She may not elicit the same emotional response that Kleypas does, but her characters are always extremely likeable and easy to relate to, and, of course, her wit and humor make the pages sparkle. Wonderful book to curl up with.

Summary: FANTABULOUS!!!!!!
Review: This weekend, while on vacation, I discovered this gem. All three stories are wonderful, but "A Tale of Two Sisters" Julia Quinn's gem is exceptional. This is Juila at her finest! HYSTERICAL! Romantic. Ned is one of her most memorable characters ever! My only regret is that this was just a novella--not a full length book. I did not want to put this book down! My only other recommendation is: expediated shipping!!!!

Summary: A Delighful Anthology
Review: Where's My Hero? is an absorbing anthology featuring three masters of historical romance: Lisa Klepas, Julia Quinn and Kinley MacGregor. Each of these authors takes a supporting male character from one of her popular books and makes him the hero of a new tale.
Kleypas' novella, Against All Odds, pits the charming but initially too sensible Lydia Craven against the passionate doctor Jake Linley. Lydia has decided to marry for practical and intellectual reasons, but when she gets locked in a wine cellar with Jake, her handsome nemesis, sparks fly. And a deep but disavowed attraction that has been growing for years will no longer be denied as Jake and Lydia try in vain to resist each other. Displaying a great flair for dialogue and for deep sensuality, Kleypas keep the reader breathlessly on the edge of her seat and thoroughly entertained. MacGregor takes the reader back to medieval England in Midsummer's Knight, where a tender correspondence between Kenna, a Scottish princess, and Simon of Ravenswood, a brave but landless knight, blossoms into passionate love. But Simon has led Kenna to believe that she is corresponding with Stryder, the earl Simon serves and a legendary warrior. When Kenna appears at Stryder's castle after receiving Simon's latest letter-which sounded like it might lead to a marriage proposal-all hell breaks lose. But what seems like an impossible match due to great class barriers is given a plausible and very satisfying resolution in this tender, ardent tale. Quinn produces yet another wonderfully absorbing story in A Tale of Two Sisters. Ned Blydon is thirty and has decided for practical reasons to marry the neighboring estate's eldest daughter Lydia. But when he meets her younger sister Charlotte three days before his wedding, a longing he didn't know he possessed awakens in him. The ever loyal Charlotte tries to ignore her attraction to the charming Ned while she slips into an easy, friendly banter with him. However, when her sister Lydia shockingly reveals her secret plans to elope with another man, Charlotte is thrown into a panic. She must help her beloved sister but cannot bear how this will humiliate the soon to be jilted Ned. Yet sly Ned has some outrageous plans of his own in this thoroughly entertaining romp. As usual, Quinn creates amazingly real and lovable characters that make the reader's heart sing. Where's My Hero? is a delightful anthology that historical romance enthusiasts won't want to miss.
