PLEASE NOTE: It looks like Amazon has the reviews for "The Lady Most Likely" and "The Lady Most Willing" mixed up together for whatever reason... just so you know. My review is for THE LADY MOST LIKELY =)

Hugh Dunne, the Earl of Briarly needs a wife, so his sister hands him a list of delectable damsels and promises to invite them - and a few other gentlemen - to her country house for what is sure to be the event of the season. Hugh will have time to woo whichever lady he most desires... Unless someone else snatches her first.

I initially bought this book because Julia Quinn's name was on it but Connie Brockway is also a favorite of mine and was an added bonus. I've only read one other story by Eloisa James and was willing to give her another try. Overall I thought it was a good collaboration and while its termed a "novel" its still basically three novellas. All the people and events are connected though which was enjoyable, and each author is given a section dedicated to one of three couples.

Ms. Quinn's story is first... The heroine is the "belle" of the season and extremely shy which for me equated to rather boring. The hero is a young earl and was likable enough. However, there wasn't time to develop their relationship and hence they meet and fall in love in less than one day. Just too rushed and not believable to me as a romance. It was was my least favorite of the trio. Rating: 3 STARS***

Ms. Brockway's story is next and was the best in my opinion. I loved both the hero and heroine and thought theirs would have been a beautiful full-length novel. Having grown up together they fell in love young and were separated for four long years. This story was the most romantic and had the most depth. As great as can be expected for its short length and very touching too. Rating: 5 STARS*****

Ms. James has the final story which was very good. I didn't care for the hero so much in the beginning as he seemed rather dull, his only love being horses. He surprised me though and I ended up really liking him. Not so much the heroine, although she was okay. They both grew up together and are finally seeing each other in a new light. It was well written and the most passionate. Rating: 4 STARS****

The Lady Most Likely A Novel in Three Parts Julia Quinn Eloisa James Connie Brockway 9780061247828 Books Reviews

Let me start by saying that this 3-in-1 is not like most 3-in-1s. Instead of 3 novellas by three different authors being made into one book,(which as I've mentioned before, I'm not really keen on) this is a collaborative effort.
Upon first reading the premise of the book, I thought someone must have liked watching 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers', the 1954 musical, as much as I did when I was a kid!
Taran Ferguson is laird of Finovair Castle in Scotland. Although still sprite,he feels he is getting on in years and not having any children of his own, wants to secure the family line through his two nephews, Robin, the Comte de Rocheforte and Byron,the Earl of Oakley.
One winter's night, he and his men decide to raid a house party nearby and kidnap three beautiful,dowered, young women, Cecily Maycott and the sisters Fiona and Marilla Chisolm. The thing is that they have forgotten to bring along a carriage,fortunately there is one awaiting them on their way out. Unfortunately, its owner the Duke of Bretton is still inside fast asleep and in the ruckus of the kidnapping, a fourth young lady, Miss Catriona Burns has been thrown into the mix too. Although she is equal in beauty to the rest, she is useless to Taran since she has no dowry. So now Taran and his men are in possession of four young ladies and one sleeping duke and they are off to Finovair castle.
Being that we're in Scotland, in the winter and a snow storm is brewing, it isn't long before the pass is closed, thus cutting off the castle and its inhabitants for several days. Just enough time for our very charming and very lively cast of characters to get to know each other better.

I spent most of the time reading this book with a grin on my face. The characters were all jolly fun and fun to read about. The dialogue was quite good too. Although there were still three different story-lines, it was nice that they all took place in the same setting with the same cast of characters.
