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.

"A perfect book for Valentine's day, a romantic romance, a novel written by 3 author's whose stories flow into each other. I loved all the characters. There was much witty bantering, but some tear jerker parts as well. The kidnapping almost goes off without a hitch, but an extra girl and a surprised Duke are taken from an English ball to a drafty Scottieh castle by Laird Fergussion, to find wives for his 2 nephews, 4 love stories ensue (the 4th a telegraphed "surprise") I presume the stories are written in order of the author's listing, Julia Quinn, Eloise James and Connie Brockway. This is quite an enjoyable book."

" If you want something light to read, read this. Yes is entertaining, but I didn't loved it, I probably would read it again because I would not remember what was it about. "

" These 3 authors wove great stories with fun characters. I find it hard to pick my favourite.. I did find Marilla a bit much but I think her part in the story worked well. Looking forward to the next one when it comes out. "

" I like short stories written this way. The books aren't as jerky, which makes it easier to stay in the story. "
— Heather, 10/26/2013 -
" Not one of the best books from the authors I love, but still a light hearted fun read. Three short love stories together. I loved the lady snatching uncle Taran and not just because of his name. "
— Sho, 10/20/2013 -
" Just loved it. Great fun. One tiny complaint, though. I read it while visiting away from home. It kept snowing, not a lot, just enough for me to shiver all the way through the story of how these ladies were caught away from home in a blizzard. "
— Jeanne, 8/18/2013 -

" 4 1/2 stars. I needed this book after the last book I read was such a disappointment. I had a good time and all three of the authors did a great job. I like how this anthology is set up very much. When you are in the mood for a good anthology, I recommend this one. "
— Kathryn, 1/23/2013 -
