Summary: True Gayle Wilson fans WON'T be disappointed!!
Review: I admire Gayle Wilson very much and have read nearly all of her books and particularly like her historical novels. Despite Wilson's "Prisoner of the Tower" contribution to this anthology, I simply cannot recommend it.

Kasey Michaels was new to me. This will be the last of her books/stories, however, as it was rather one-dimensional peopled with over-drawn and unsympathetic characters in a plot that defied belief. Just for starters, it was never and is not now legal to get married in England on the spur of the moment, without banns or license and in an inn! What was the author thinking of here? Sadly, this effort was juvenile, unpolished and stretched credibility too far for me.

Lyn Stone is also new to me and, again, I won't be seeking out anything further from her either. Her contribution was boring, stilted, contained credulous dialogue and action and the characters had nothing to cause me to give them a second thought. I struggled to finish it.

Gayle Wilson has a certain speciality which her fans will recognise and most probably relish. She creates flawed, imperfect heros who, despite this, are strong alpha men who don't let a disability stand in their way; instead it becomes a positive attraction to them! However, this time in her contribution, she has created a hero who milks his flaw (scarred face) far beyond anything acceptable and thus his actions are really unbelievably silly. If he is meant to be strong and heroic, he certainly does not behave that way. Wilson's "My Darling Echo" contribution to the anthology "Bride by Arrangement" was so superior to this effort that it makes this one quite insipid. Sorry to be so negative about a writer I always enjoy but in all honesty, I don't understand why she allowed this one to get published. It was not at all up to her usual standards.

So, we have a good author's dubious effort here, sandwiched between two totally forgettable stories. The end result - a sandwich not worth tasting. I'm hugely disappointed!

Review: I have been a long time fan of AWARD winning author Gayle Wilson. I have all of her books and even duplicate copies of my favorites! "Prisoner of the Tower" was a wonderful tale! I was able to read it in one sitting and enjoyed every moment. If you love Gayle Wilson's historical's and love falling in love with her hero's you will love this story. I purchased "The Wedding Chase" because of Gayle Wilson's "Prisoner of the Tower." Her writing never disappoints. If you are an avid fan of Gayle Wilson and appreciate her skill as an award winning published author, you will love this story. Thanks Gayle for another hero for us to fall in love with!

Summary: Good mix of stories.
Review: Inside cover description: IN HIS LORDSHIP'S BED/KASEY MICHAELS
In a twist of fate, an innocent young lady and a handsome rogue were caught in bed together. But before their unavoidable marriage could begin, they found themselves facing an altogether unexpected challenge...love!
PRISONER OF THE TOWER/GAYLE WILSON. After twelve long years, a widow and a faded earl were reunited against all odds. But as the past threatened to destroy their newfound happiness, would love be enough to save this battle-scarred man from a lifetime of loneliness?
WORD OF A GENTLEMAN/LYN STONE. In order to collect her inheritance, a daring debutante needed a husband. Could she convince her childhood sweetheart--now a penniless ex-soldier--to elope with her in exchange for a share of her fortune?

Good book for the beach. Quick and easy stories by known authors, no surprises, but likable characters and well known plots that work OK.
