Have tissues handy for this lovely Regency romance collection set around the Harvest Festival in Reabridge, Cheshire, England in 1815 which varies from family-friendly to NC17, so parental guidance is advised.

The first 2/3rds of the stories were very strong but the last few either contradicted what we had learned about certain characters or had characters that were tangentially tied to the original family while one of the daughters, the diligent and talented Susanna, didn't get a story at all. I was especially disappointed in Patience's story.

Overall a good collection. I'll keep reading the Bluestocking Belles.

An uneven collection but I really enjoyed Melting Matilida and Lord Ethan's Courage, enough that I'm on the lookout for more stories with these characters. I do enjoy a collection where all the stories are connected and the Belles excel at this. The choice of the 1814 Frost Fair elevates the weaker stories, an event I wasn't aware of.

This lovely mostly NC17 collection of romances about ten orphaned ladies and their Dowager Countess stepmother doing what they can to get by will fill most of a week.

LADY DOROTHEA'S CURATE by Caroline Warfield is a lovely tale about Lady Dorothea Bigglesworth and her fondness for the curate at Pilgrim's Rest.

CONCERTO by Mary Lancaster recounts the plan of the Seahaven daughters centering on 27-year-old Lady Barbara Bigglesworth after she meets the piano tuner Mr. Jack Sutton who is over 30. PG15

THE BUTLER AND THE BLUESTOCKING by Rue Allyn pivots on the Rosetta Stone for which Lady Elizabeth Regina Bigglesworth is verifying the translation of Mr. Thomas Young.

THE FOUR-TO-ONE FANCY by Elizabeth Ellen Carter considers identical twins Ladies Ivy and Iris Bigglesworth, 18, cousins Captain John Bentley, Viscount Tyrell, and Captain James Bentley, and Crimson Lad owned by the Captains Bentley.

LORD CUCKOO COMES HOME by Jude Knight is a PG15 romp in which Captain Lord Diomedes/Dom Finchley, 28, rescues Lady Chloe Tavistock, 22, and her monkey Rosalia.

I'LL ALWAYS BE YOURS by Ella Quinn is a delightful romp involving young people thwarting the Duke of Somerset and his land grabbing plans as well as attending the reform meeting.

LADY TWISDEN'S PICTURE PERFECT MATCH by Alina K. Field, set mostly at St. Hedwig's Place, York, is two and a half hours of sheer delight.

A DUKE FOR JOSEFINA by Meara Platt starts in York and then moves to Cumbe Grange near Scarborough with laughs along the way.

A COUNTESS TO REMEMBER by Sherry Ewing is a lovely romance about Dowager Countess Patience Seahaven and her love at first sight.
