Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Finally, a minor miracle (at least for me).
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 ... Read More
Rating:  - Disappointing...
I know it's hard to establish character development in short stories, but I was so disappointed by this book. Even as a huge Julia Quinn fan, I can't give this book more than one star. I found the plots stilted, boring and not at all captivating. What's more, I just didn't care about any of the characters. For a much better book of similar nature, try The Further Observations of Lady Whistledown by Julia Quinn, et al. Skip this one.
Rating:  - From Back Cover
FOUR INCOMPARABLE STORYTELLERS... FOUR ROMATIC TALES... FOUR BEWITCHING LASSES BOUND FOR THE ALTAR IN A LAND OF STRONG PASSIONS AND WILD BEAUTY.

Rating: - Fun Historical Read That Evokes the Grandeur of Scotland
Scottish Brides, an anthology featuring mostly Regency era novellas that take place in Scotland, is a fun read though not spectacular.
Under The Kilt, by Christina Dodd, does a good job of painting two likeable and lusty characters in just 62 pages. Handsome amateur historian Hadden returns to the crumbling castle of Andra MacNachtan, the last of Clan MacNachtan, to again confront the beauty who stole his heart. He ostensibly wants to interview her about the clan's marriage kilt, but the encounter ... Read More
Rating: - Sweet, overall
Being a Scottish girl myself, I was pleased to happen upon this book. Also, being a huge Julia Quinn fan didn't hurt. The four short stories all dealt with, obviously, Scotland in one way or the other. Christina Dodd, who also served as editor, was the reason "Scottish Brides" merited only four stars from me. Her story was simply the weakest. Julia Quinn delivered wonderfully and I again laughed out loud and woke up my roommate. Stephaine Laurens was in fine form, very akin to "Devil's Bride" ...
