I just love the stories in this collection. I had read One Knight a while back and really enjoyed it. I was excited to receive a copy of this collection from Ms. Holt to review. I did have a little doubt that the rest of the stories would not match up to the first one as many authors go on to slightly change their main romance story lines. However, Ms. Holt kept to the same general plot or story type.Despite the historical setting, there were no villains, other males or females vying for the H/h's attention, or revengeful mistresses to deal with.  The stories were just about the Hero and heroine falling in love. And that is exactly the types of stories I love. I didn't think I would have time to read about 25, 000 words so soon but it took me just a little over 2 hours to finish 3 of the 4 stories. I would probably take others a lot less since I tend to read at a slower pace.The stories are short but we are given enough details to like the characters and get the feeling that we're reading about more than a single moment. The females were strong and sweet and although only 1 of the four males seemed the Alpha male type, their thinking and sweetness towards the females was perfect.My favorite one of the four was Highland Knight. In this story, the H and h are going through an arranged marriage to stop any further war between two clans. I love stories where the main characters fall in love after having incorrect, negative opinions of the other. I loved the exchange of words between the two, and the heroine's father's amusement of the her opinion of the Hero.The the story that I would rank as my fourth favorite was an equally enjoyable read. It came fourth only because of the heroine's openness to a stranger. However, it was as good as the other ones.I would definitely recommend this book to historical romance fans and fans of short, simple, sweet stories. The wording is just as it should be for the setting. I would love to read other books by Samantha Holt.
