Publisher Description
From Julia Quinn, the author of Bridgerton—along with close friends and bestselling authors Eloisa James and Connie Brockway—comes a thrilling tale of a snow-bound party in a Scottish castle.
And You’re Invited!
When Laird Taran Ferguson’s nephews refuse to find brides, he takes matters into his own hands, raiding a ball and bringing some lovely young ladies to his castle. Which author do you think escorted which heroine to the castle?
Miss Fiona Chisholm, a beauty with a scandalous past Lady Cecily Tarleton, a lovely heiress—but she’s English Miss Catriona Burns, a lady with no name or fortune, so clearly someone made a mistake!
When it comes to gentlemen, did Eloisa invite an earl so stern that he broke his engagement after a mere whiff of scandal? Did Connie suggest that the Duke of Bretton fall asleep in the carriage used in a kidnapping? Did Julia bring a rogue whose reputation proceeds him?
A novel in three parts, as fresh and charming as the Highland air, written by three of the very best writers of historical romance.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Three popular grand dames of historical romance team up again (after The Lady Most Likely...) to create a charming three-part farce set in 1819 Scotland. Laird Taran Ferguson goes to great drunken lengths to kidnap four young women and John Shevington, duke of Bretton, by accident in hope of finding brides for his nephews, Byron (an English earl) and Robin (improbably, a French count). No one takes Taran seriously or feels at all endangered or coerced, but while they're all stuck in his castle waiting out a storm, romance blossoms of its own accord. Penniless, untitled Catriona Burns doubts John's interest in her, so he proves his ardor. Ruined heiress Fiona Chisholm is happily looking forward to spinsterhood until Byron awakens her desire. Lady Cecily Tarleton falls for Robin at first sight and decides to seduce him. And Marilla Chisholm, Fiona's younger sister, improbably sets her cap for hoary, hilarious Taran. Witty dialogue and good-natured, down-to-earth characters make this a nice quick historical romance fix.
Customer Reviews
Hilarious
If you are looking for great fun to warm your heart, this book shows the best humor of all 3 authors :)
Absolutely love this book
Great story by three amazing writers. I especially love the first romance in the book, it’s great how they are woven together so well. If you love Julia Quinn books you will love this one.
So glad I didn’t listen to other reviews
I LOVED this novel. It was absolutely enchanting and I found myself laughing out LOUD… even re-reading some chapters. Cecily’s story was my favorite 😍 if you believe in love at first sight then you will absolutely enjoy this read. If you are a logical mind and believe people need to know each other - TRULY know each other - then you will not enjoy this book.
But honestly sit back, enjoy the romance and allow yourself to be swept away.
