Lady Whistledown Tells All!
Society is abuzz when the Season's most promising debutante is jilted by her intended -- only to be swept away by the deceitful rogue's dashing older brother -- in New York Times bestseller Julia Quinn's witty, charming, and heartfelt tale.
When the scandalous actions of his beautiful fiancée are recorded in Lady Whistledown's column, a concerned groom-to-be rushes back to London to win his lady's heart once and forever, in Suzanne Enoch's enchanting romantic gem.
Karen Hawkins captivates with an enduring story of a handsome rogue whose lifelong friendship -- and his heart -- are tested when the lovely lady in question sets her cap for someone else.
A dazzling and delightful tale by Mia Ryan has a young woman cast out of her home by an insufferable yet charming marquis -- who intends to take possession not only of the house ... but its former occupant as well!

This book contains the following four stories.
5 stars for THIRTY-SIX VALENTINES by Julia Quinn.
Excellent story. I loved the characters Susannah and David. Their honesty was refreshing. There was also some wonderful and thoughtful conversation.
During the summer of 1813, Clive courted Susannah. Then, he publicly humiliated her by announcing that he was going to marry Harriet. Susannah became the subject of gossip, lies and ostracism. In January, 1814, Susannah was ... Read More
Rating:  - Worth reading
First up is Suzanne Enoch. I did like this one, but not nearly as much as I hoped. I honestly didn't feel any passion or emotion. When he kissed her it basically said, "He kissed her." And that was it. No emotion at all. At least none that I could feel.
At one point Anne was felt over-heated, and I have to assume that it was because Max was in the room, but I found myself thinking, "Well maybe you shouldn't stand by a fire while wearing a heavy velvet dress." Same thing when Max said his chest ... Read More
Rating: - 5/5!!!!
For me this was the 1st and is the ONLY anthology (so far) that contains stories so well written by ALL of the participating authors. The one bad thing about this book was that the stories were so addictive that I neglected my homework to read them; I read all four stories word for word and finished the book in one day. All 4 stories contained funny moments that made me LOL uncontrollably more than few times (in public places no less!!!).
Pick this book up, and you'll be glad you did.
Rating: - 4.5 Stars*****
This was a delightful set of stories that were linked together by Lady Whistledown's gossip papers as well as a skating party everyone ends up attending.
Julia Quinn's novella Thirty-Six Valentines was excellent! I loved the dialog between Clive and David. I felt so sorry for Susannah which inturn made her realization that David loved her and wanted to marry her so rewarding. 5 stars.
Mia Ryan's A Dozen Kisses was so romantic.The author made it easy to identify with Lord Darington's ... Read More
Rating: - Loved it !
I really enjoyed all four of these stories, even though they lacked historical fact: it would have been highly unlikely that any of these women would have engaged in any type of intimacy before they were married.
I agreed with other reviews below - the way the four stories were intertwined through the characters attending the same events - the theatre, the skating party, the Valentines Day ball etc; it was so well done.
