After the success of The Lady Most Likely, New York Times bestselling authors Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, and Connie Brockway have joined together once again, but this time to ask the question, who is The Lady Most Willing?

When Laird Taran Ferguson’s nephews refuse to wed and secure his birthright, he takes matters into his own hands, raiding a ball and kidnapping four likely brides—a bonny lass, an heiress with a slight reputation problem, a rich English beauty, and a maiden without a name or a fortune. But which one is ready to fall in love with the Scottish lord? Add a very angry duke, a decrepit castle, and a fierce Highland storm that is holding all of Taran’s “guests” captive to the mix, and readers will find themselves transported to a world of temptation, passion, and new and unexpected love. This historical romance novel in three parts—a single story with three compelling voices—is one that will not soon be forgotten.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

*Starred Review* Concerned about the fate of his clan, Taran Ferguson, the laird of Finovair, decides to help secure his legacy by locating suitable brides for his two nephews Byron Wotton, Earl of Oakley, and Robert “Robin” Parles, Comte de Rocheforte. Of course, Ferguson being Ferguson (as well as a wee bit drunk) can’t do the expected thing and simply host a ball for the local lasses. Instead, he decides to “kidnap” a few ladies from the Icicle Ball being held at nearby Bellemere Castle, which is how Fiona and Marilla Chisholm, Cecily Tarleton, and Catriona Burns all find themselves at Castle Finovair. Unfortunately, along with the ladies, Ferguson also manages to abduct a very cranky Duke of Bretton, who happened to be asleep in his own carriage when the matrimonial raid took place. When an unexpected snowstorm strands the group at Finovair, it will either provide the perfect opportunity for some matchmaking or a recipe for romantic disaster. The terrific trio of RITA Award–winning authors responsible for The Lady Most Likely . . . (2011) teams up again and crafts another deliciously entertaining romance centering on several couples. Infused with irresistibly exuberant wit, the wonderfully elegant The Lady Most Willing . . . is absolutely priceless. --John Charles

Review

“A great read for anyone who loves a good romance, a must-read for historical-romance fans.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Infused with irresistibly exuberant wit, the wonderfully elegant The Lady Most Willing . . . is absolutely priceless.” (Booklist)

From the Back Cover

At the behest of three of the most talented historical romance authors writing today, you are cordially invited to a ball. No, a party. No . . . a kidnapping.

Taran Ferguson, laird of his clan, is determined that his ancient (if not so honorable) birthright be secured before he dies. When both his nephews refuse to wed, the old reprobate takes matters into his own hands: he raids a ball and makes off with four likely brides . . .

Miss Marilla Chisholm—the bonniest lass in Scotland, and an heiress to boot.

Miss Fiona Chisholm—her older sister, another fine choice (but for that tiny stain on her reputation).

Lady Cecily Tarleton—true, she's an English beauty, but very, very rich.

Miss Catriona Burns—without name or fortune, clearly someone made a mistake.

Oh, yes. And one very irate duke.

Because somewhere there must be one lady most willing to love a Scottish lord.

Absolutely Loved this Collaboration

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

I thoroughly enjoyed their first collaboration, ‘The Lady Most Likely’, but I absolutely adored this book! (The audiobook is terrific, too.) So many characters I won’t soon forget and I’m still heartily laughing at the hijinks! We got an overzealous Scottish uncle, eager to get his 2 nephews (and heirs) wed. So much so that he hatches a plan to kidnap some brides for the laddies to woo. Of course, nothing goes according to plan. One of lasses is grabbed by mistake, the carriage they use holds a sleeping Duke, and the one that seemed the most demure is a crazy hoyden, if ever you met one! Add to that a terrific snowstorm, clothes from the last century, and the interfering uncle, and it’s a recipe for one of the most entertaining books I’ve read in a while. Highly recommend!

A lively mix up.

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2012

Let me start by saying that this 3-in-1 is not like most 3-in-1s. Instead of 3 novellas by three different authors being made into one book,(which as I've mentioned before, I'm not really keen on) this is a collaborative effort.
Upon first reading the premise of the book, I thought someone must have liked watching 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers', the 1954 musical, as much as I did when I was a kid!
Taran Ferguson is laird of Finovair Castle in Scotland. Although still sprite,he feels he is getting on in years and not having any children of his own, wants to secure the family line through his two nephews, Robin, the Comte de Rocheforte and Byron,the Earl of Oakley.
One winter's night, he and his men decide to raid a house party nearby and kidnap three beautiful,dowered, young women, Cecily Maycott and the sisters Fiona and Marilla Chisolm. The thing is that they have forgotten to bring along a carriage,fortunately there is one awaiting them on their way out. Unfortunately, its owner the Duke of Bretton is still inside fast asleep and in the ruckus of the kidnapping, a fourth young lady, Miss Catriona Burns has been thrown into the mix too. Although she is equal in beauty to the rest, she is useless to Taran since she has no dowry. So now Taran and his men are in possession of four young ladies and one sleeping duke and they are off to Finovair castle.
Being that we're in Scotland, in the winter and a snow storm is brewing, it isn't long before the pass is closed, thus cutting off the castle and its inhabitants for several days. Just enough time for our very charming and very lively cast of characters to get to know each other better.

I spent most of the time reading this book with a grin on my face. The characters were all jolly fun and fun to read about. The dialogue was quite good too. Although there were still three different story-lines, it was nice that they all took place in the same setting with the same cast of characters.

Wonderful Scottish love stories

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

Three of my favorite authors team up for this book, what a treat! Delightful characters,fun storyline and intertwined love stories of four separate couples.

A Scottish Laird who never had children has his nephews and heirs at his castle for Christmas. One nephew is a French comte, the other an English earl. The laird is worried that they won't marry Scotts women and continue their heritage, so he raids the ball of the neighboring earl and steals the richest Scottish heiresses, kidnapping them from the dance floor. He also accidentally kidnaps the local squire's daughter and takes the wrong carriage with a sleeping Duke in it, a few extras. The people attending the ball think it is part of the entertainment at first, but by the time they organize pursuit, a blizzard has closed off the roads.

The four men; the duke, the earl, the comte and the laird end up entertaining and pairing off (and desperately trying not to) with the four women; the earl's daughter, the two half sisters and the squire's daughter. Manipulations, misdirection and monkey business is on order as the blizzard rages over the course of four days. Interesting proposals and couples emerge before they are all "rescued" when the roads are cleared and angry papas descend en mass.

A fun read. Heat factor moderate.

A Waste of Talent

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2013

Verified Purchase

A mediocre book from great authors.

To enjoy this book, one must suspend all belief that love usually grows over time and believe entirely in love at first sight. Or even glance. Unfortunately for me, I place more truth in "marry in haste, repent at leisure."

The characters were all developed and explored as much as the length of each story allowed. However, there was no real depth to any story. No surprises, just the formula; odd couple meet, fall in love almost instantly, and, decide to marry. Everything wrapped up in record time.

The dialogues were witty, and well written, the characters likeable but their great love in the matter of a few days seemed silly and juvenile. I guess the result is that novellas (and this is what I consider these stories) are not for me. Therefore my 3 star rating.

If you like a quick, easy read, by delightful authors, with no angst except a silly twit throwing herself at every man in sight, you will like this book.

Great read

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

I really enjoy reading a linked story like this as it usually introduces me to at least one new author. That way I can see if I want to buy more of her books. That being said, this is simply a great book. It has wonderful heroines and hero's that you want to be friends with, an annoying antagonist who gets what she deserves in the end, and of course, the hea. It's a lovely escape and really makes you feel happy. What better book is there?

Frothy Fun!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 12, 2013

A fun, frothy read! There were two glaring errors and I can't understand why they were not picked up! One character is likened to Anne Elliot in Persuasion - I think they mean Elizabeth Elliot, as that was definitely the character the quotations referred to! I'd also like to know more of this King George VII......

Romance that will make you smile, when four young ladies are unceremoniously kidnapped from a ball to spend several days snowed up in a freezing castle with several unattached gentlemen....

Hilarious

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book is written by three different authors but is sewen together and linked so seamlessly you forget to notice. Each of the mini books is a fresh and enjoyable love story with funny bright characters who even in a short book pull you into their lives. Taran the uncle of two of our happy grooms kidnaps 4 women in a bid to entice his nephews into marriage, oh course the fact that he accidentally grabs a Duke is a minor inconvenience. The story takes place over a week and will have you laughing as well as invested in the ending.

Nice story. Awful mistakes

The story is fun and romantic but a bit spoiled by silly mistakes about Austen's Persuasion and 'George Vii' !!

Well done ladies

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 8, 2013

What a novel idea for these authors to write a book with three different interpretations of a title. Each of these ladies are brilliant authors and when they do something like this I find it most interesting. They are not trying to outdo each other - it is just like sitting and listening to three friends telling you a story - I loved it.

Lovely read

Really enjoyed this. It just flowed along and I didn't notice when one author stopped and another started, unless they worked together throughout the three stories. Anyhow, loved all the characters, although Marilla was scheming and selfish but I think even she met her match!
