I picked up this anthology to read the Julia Quinn book:

Gretna Greene - Miss Margaret Pennypacker was on a mission to stop her brother from making a big mistake. She has chased him through England, been thrown from her horse, lost her luggage, and has finally hitched a ride to the Scottish border on a wooden cart. Nearly out of money and soaked to the skin, she begins to search for her brother, Edward, before he can elope. She doesn't find Edward, but she does find Angus Greene. Angus is on his way to London to find his younger sister. He knows her path will lead her through Gretna Green and decides to search the posting houses for her. He doesn't find his sister, but he does find Margaret and saves her when three men attack her. Rescuing Margaret and having her pose as his wife seems like the only way they will both get a room in the crowded town this night.

This is a cute story with witty dialogue. I enjoyed this short story and wish the author could have continued it as a full sized novel. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
