It goes without saying that Mary Balogh's, 'A Handful of Gold', put this in the 'really liked it' category. It is the second time I read the story and I liked it as much as the first time. To me, Mary Balogh is the current Queen of Regency Historical Romance Fiction. I did 'like' the stories by Nicola Cornick and Courtney Milan. I have just discovered Ms. Milan and really like her writing. This is the first story I have read by Ms. Cornick and like it enough to check out her other books. Of course, I am really do not really enjoy reading anthologies. I don't get enough character development and the stories are so limited that the ending seems contrived. Nothing happens this fast in the 'real' world. Does it?
