I tried. And I kind of liked the first story in the book, despite the heroine being 15. I don't care if it's set in the Middle Ages and social mores were different. No. And then the second story lost me quickly. I was not up for finding the dramatics of Yet Another 15yo girl interesting, especially in the face of "BUT I LOVE HIM". Again, no. I made it a couple chapters in before I threw in the towel. I usually love Small's novels, despite some of the more florid language. This one is a rare exception.
This is the first Bertrice Small book I read and I thought it was great. Averil is bridenapped because she is mistaken for her sister Mia (who is legitimate). Her and Rhys end up being a real love match though.
Mia falls in love with a faceless man from her dreams. Emrys is very much real though and comes to claim his bride. This one is filled with magic and mystery.
Junia falls in love with Simon who she finds out is from a terrible family that hates hers. This one is sadder than the other 2 stories but of course ends up working out even if not quite as expected. All in all this was a great book!
