Product Description
From Library Journal
Focusing on the Valentine's Day traditions and entertainments popular during the English Regency, this engaging anthology treats readers to a trio of lively romantic novellas featuring independent, uncommon heroines. A no-nonsense, bluestocking heiress (recalling some of Amanda Quick's) and an aristocratic inventor deal with mistaken identity in Paula Tanner Girard's "Cupid's Legacy"; a stately, non-diminutive heroine and an occasionally awkward giant are brought together by a notoriously difficult horse named Valentine in Judith Lansdowne's "The Valentine Victorious"; and a Valentine's Day legend brings together a pragmatic, 21-year-old "old maid" and a reputed rake in Carol Quinto's "The Valentine's Day Husband." Driven primarily by character and period rather than plot, these stories should please most Regency fans. Each writer has written earlier Regencies for Zebra.

In "Cupid's Legacy," a wealthy spinster mistakes a nobleman for a handyman; while in "The Valentine Victorious" a woman is unaware of an earl's affection until she becomes engaged; and in "The Valentine's Day Husband," a notorious Marquis wins a woman in an unexpected way. Original.

I enjoyed this regency collection., Jun 2 2009
By Donna K. "bookcrosser" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Valentine Bouquet (Paperback)
In the first story, Cupid's Legacy, I appreciated the strong female characters who stepped outside what was considered the "norm" for women in this time period. I also liked the way the plot came around full circle to its resolution. In the second story, The Valentine Victorious, I appreciated how the attraction between the protagonists was focused on inner beauty; the earl was attracted to the intelligent, hardworking and fun-loving sister over the more beautiful one. I also like the theme of saving/adopting orphaned animals and children. The last story, The Valentine's Day Husband, was of special interest to me, as it centered around the herbal remedy practice of the female protagonist and her father. The message, that one shouldn't be judged based on heresay because things aren't always what they seem, is a good one!
