A Valentine Bouquet (Regency Holiday Romance)
Focusing on the Valentine's Day traditions and entertainments popular during the English Regency, this engaging anthology treats readers to a trio of lively romantic novellas featuring independent, uncommon heroines. A no-nonsense, bluestocking heiress (recalling some of Amanda Quick's) and an aristocratic inventor deal with mistaken identity in Paula Tanner Girard's "Cupid's Legacy"; a stately, non-diminutive heroine and an occasionally awkward giant are brought together by a notoriously difficult horse named Valentine in Judith Lansdowne's "The Valentine Victorious"; and a Valentine's Day legend brings together a pragmatic, 21-year-old "old maid" and a reputed rake in Carol Quinto's "The Valentine's Day Husband." Driven primarily by character and period rather than plot, these stories should please most Regency fans. Each writer has written earlier Regencies for Zebra.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
