Scottish Brides Christina Dodd Stephanie Laurens Karen Ranney Julia Quinn 9780380804511 Books

I am so very glad to say that miracles (even minor ones) do still happen. This is an anthology (usually to be approached with extreme caution by me, yet I continue to buy them) which actually has four, yes, count them, four GOOD stories. I almost didn't buy the book because of the diverse range of ratings from other readers but I am wholeheartedly glad I went ahead and got it. The plots of the four stories are very well described in other reviews so I will just say that I acutally enjoyed all four of these stories. No one stood out more than another but I also did not find one to be significantly weaker than the others.

Maybe the reasons some reviewers saw these stories in a negative way are the same reasons I liked them very much. They are all very simple love stories, relatively uncomplicated, containing very few secondary characters. Because of the brevity, the characters must deal with each other and their situations and not allow THE BIG MISUNDERSTANDING to take up page after page after page of unproductive activity. They are sweet and even innocent (even though each has a liberal sprinkling of sensual moments).

I found all four stories entirely to my liking. I know that the book was published in 1999 and literary styles have changed but not all those changes suit all readers. I, for one, still enjoy a good, old fashioned love story.

Scottish Brides Christina Dodd Stephanie Laurens Karen Ranney Julia Quinn 9780380804511 Books Reviews

It was good, considering that it is difficult to develope characters in such short stories. I have not read other books fromm Dodd, Laurens and Ranney so I can't compare but I have read better ones from Julia Quinn who is one of my favourite authors in romantic history novels.
I read and enjoyed all 4 short stories. Like some of the other reviewers I'd have to say the Karen Ranney story was my favourite followed closely by the Julia Quinn. However I also enjoyed the other 2 even though I'd already read the Stephanie Laurens story elsewhere.

I recommend this book
I can't understand why anyone would not instantly fall in love with the four stories in this book. It's the best collection of short stories I have ever read. Each story was beautiful -- full of emotion, love and exciting endings. I hope these authors make another short story book. I will be first in line to get it.
I used to prefer long novels to short stories, but this book has convinced me of the pleasure of a good short story. Get it.
Well of course, with julia quinn and stephanie laurens I couldn't give this book anything but 5stars.
Seriously, all the stories were amazing, funny, and captivating. I couldn't put it down. I read it in one day and at the end, wanted more.
You will not be disappointed!!!
Loved the storyline
Great book. I got to read four wonderful stories, some from authors I've already read and some new authors there as well. Would highly recommended if looking for some great romance but don't want to read one lengthy book; this way you get four shorter ones!
I've bought this book twice in print, and now on . This is the book that first lured me into reading Scottish historical romances. I've had it on my keeper shelf since it first came out, and still like to reread it now and again. I love every story in this book, although my runaway favorite is The Glenlyon Bride by Karen Ranney. This is the anthology that I hold as the test for all others I might pick up in the same genre, and although it's been years, I've never found another that I like as much as this one. A wonderful starter book for anyone interested in testing Scottish historical romances to see if it's a genre for them. I highly recommend this book!
