This collection was well written and very touching EXCEPT for the third book, a novella actually, which was thankfully short. I would gladly have rated this 5 stars except for that abomination. Here, in the midst of a historical romance series, carefully researched so as to make the works as realistic as possible, suddenly the author presents us with this Twilight wannabe romance, moving from realistic period romance to some sci-fy nonsense of fluff that only a starry eyed 13 year old girl could believe is real. A werewolf romance in old England? Sing it with me "Ah-ooo, werewolves of London, ah-ooo!" Rediculous! I know, for the next period romance lets have the darling of the Ton be a hobbit! She can be threatened at a ball by a winged fire-breathing dragon and be saved by an elf. Or, wait, maybe we can have the mysterious Lord Dunstan be a crude but lovable green ogre. If I wanted to read one of the tiresome Twilight rip-off romances, that is what I would have purchased. I loved the 3 actual historical romances that surrounded that stupid fantasy work.
