I did enjoy this book. It had the hurt,hard feeling rake with the innocent, loyal and loving heroine. It is a second release first printed back in 1984 I think..at still a good story today!

Ugh! What an execrable title for such a good book! I've read a few reviews of HTSAB that were really quite critical of Daisy and Lee. But for me, these two are the shiny bits in this book. Though the story is not so unique as far as historicals go, I loved both Daisy and Lee and found them each unfo...

So about three or four years ago I got a box of old Regency romances at a yard sale. it turned out to be a goldmine. Full of (at the time out-of-print) Mary Balogh novels, some Joan Wolf and quite a few Edith Layton books. I glommed the Balogh books first. I think it took me a month. Just last ...

Carla Kelly's story is just wonderful - 5 stars, well worth the price of the book on its own. I started Patricia Oliver's story, but couldn't finish it - the "hero" is an arrogant jackass and his supposed injury and convalescence make no sense. Didn't read any of the others because I couldn't bea...

I had read some of the stories in this collection a few years back, when I was doing my initial Mary Balogh "glom" and reading everything of hers that I could lay my hands (and money) on. Returned to it a few days ago for some Christmas cheer and warmth - there was a huge power outage in my area - a...

4 stars for Mary Balogh's and Edith Layton's stories - both of them lovely and a bit different from the usual "Regency Christmas" romance novella. Jo Beverley's story is *very* different, but it didn't work for me - the heroine is some sort of an amateur spy/investigator and she is almost TSTL. 2 s...

It was not bad, though the latter part seemed a bit contrived, and I think 100 pages could have been cut out and not lost the heart of the story.
