Book Review of Four Dukes and a Devil: The Irish Duke / The Duke Who Came to Dinner / Devil to Pay / Catch of the Century / Charmed by Her Smile

Helpful Score: 4


Wow! It's very rare that an anthology has more than 1 or 2 stories worthwhile for me. And I'm surprised at the low ratings on this. I felt like this one delivered! =)

Now I like Nash, Maxwell, and Warren already as historical romances are my genre! And I was not disappointed! As for the other 2 authors, I had read one or two books by them and while they are also good authors, they just don't push the 'extra' for me that these other authors do.

The stories from Nash, Maxwell, and Warren use one ingredient the others didn't: humor! If you are of the same mind you will love these! And you will probably recognize characters from previous stories!

The other two stories if I had to rate them individually were better than usual with antho's. so, I have rated them overall and individually. I hope this helps! note, Warren Maxwell were a very close tie actually for 2nd; thus the odd #. And one reviewer was turned off by one of the female leads stubborness - I on the other hand found that this trait was a big part of what gave the story so much humor! Just goes to show - different strokes... as another reviewer commented, there is something here for everyone! =) Enjoy!

Cathy Maxwell - 3 (4 3/4*) Yes, I know, only whole and half #'s but...=)
Elaine Fox - 5
Jeaniene Frost - 4 (4 1/2*)
Sophia Nash - 1 (5*)
Tracy Anne Warren - 2 (5*)
