4.0 out of 5 stars Strange Brew of Stories, April 4, 2005

By	Bella the Bookworm (Altoona, PA) - See all my reviews

Who put these stories together, anyway? They were like two different books.
I bought this for Miss Jarrett's story because I like her real books alot, and I'd heard it was good. It was good entertainment, and lots of funny conversations between the hero and the heroine. I liked them both, and I liked this story. It's why I'm giving four stars.
I thought the others would be lite and funny stories in England at the same time. Nope. Instead they were dark and depressing, with no humor. They are both put in medieval times, in Scotland and Wales.The first writer lost me when she had the hero try to strangel heroine. I don't care if he thought she was in disguise, abusing women is NOT ACCEPTABLE. The other story was okay, just average.
