Hugh Dunne, the Earl of Briarly, needs a wife - so his sister hands him a list of the very best young ladies on the market. And then, because he refuses to tear himself away from the stables where he trains Arabian racehorses, she invites all those ladies to a house party, along with some other bachelors, of course.
So who will Hugh choose? The Botticelli-esque, enchanting Gwendolyn? The outspoken, delightful Katherine? If he doesn't work fast, he'll lose those ladies to his closest friends, and then where will he look for a wife? Perhaps, just perhaps, toward a lady who's not on a market at all, and would require a great deal of persuading . . .

Review: I kind of liked the idea of this book - one setting, one general plot, three separate (but interconnected) love stories. But...
If the idea is indeed good, the reality is that each of the couples (maybe with the exception of Hugh and Georgina, who are old acquaintances and right from the start make you believe there is a true spark between them), meet and fall in love in the space of a day, two at most. Which doesn't really make for the most realistic and believable plot...
So while I do enjoy reading three books in one, the end result is a bit disappointing.
Happy readings otherwise,
