This is a set of four linked stories about a set of siblings enjoying the Little Season (fall/winter) in London. Develin and his three half-sisters are all still reeling from the loss of a father and an older brother, but life goes on, and Develin is morbidly aware of his need to be a good paterfamilia.I found these stories sprightly and fun, and because of the differing authors, varied enough to maintain interest despite the extremely whirlwind nature of each courtship. The novellas are short, but so is the timespan, so it doesn't feel to incongruous.All the stories are nicely edited and each one showcases a different personality type.Read if: You want regency novellas without Christmas in them. You are looking for bite-sized romance without running all over the net. You like feisty heroines.Skip if: You are looking for Christmas content, instant connections are going to bother you. In a short story, it pretty much has to be love at first sight.Also read: Courtney Milan'sUnveiled (Hqn)Sabrina Jeffries Hellions of Halstead Hall seriesThe Truth about Lord Stoneville
