Dear Avon Books, Where are my heroes? Whenever I'm reading a book by one of my favorite authors I find I'm falling for the wrong guy -- not the hero, but the other man -- and what I really want is for him to have his own story. Like Jake Linley, from Someone to Watch Over Me by Lisa Kleypas...that doctor could sit by my bedside if I ever got sick. And Ned Blydon in Splendid by Julia Quinn...he makes me want to learn to waltz! I never thought living in a drafty castle would be much fun until Simon of Ravenswood in Master of Desire by Kinley MacGregor came along. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that these are my men -- when do they get their stories? Sincerely, A Romance Fan Some books are so special that there is more than one hero to love, but only a single story is told. So if you find yourself asking, "Where is my hero?" you'll discover the answer right here in this delicious collection by New York Times bestseller Lisa Kleypas, New York Times bestseller Julia Quinn and USA Today bestseller Kinley MacGregor.… (more)

Not bad. Though I would have loved for both Kleypas and Quinn to have turned their stories into full novels as they had a lot of potential. ( )

I enjoyed all 3 stories - Even though they were really short! By far Julia Quinn's was my favourite! ( )

Read just for continuation of Derek Craven and Sarah. Loved it. ( )

Julia Quinn: After years of searching for the perfect wife, Ned Blydon found himself falling in love with Charlotte Thornton mere days before his wedding. The only problem was-- he was supposed to marry her sister!

I've always liked Ned and his story was so funny and Charlotte Thornton was a great character to read about. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
Information from the Italian Common Knowledge. Edit to localize it to your language.
Questo racconto è dedicato ai bravissimi barman delle Starbucks Coffee Houses che mi preparavano enormi tazze di latte macchiato al caramello di vaniglia con latte scremato e non dicevano una parola mentre io restavo lì per ore, ticchettando sul mio laptop.
E anche a Paul, sebbene secondo lui il caffè sia “una delle peggiori assuefazioni” di questo mondo e “non ha fatto mai bene a nessuno”. Sembra che si riferisca alla volta in cui io e mia madre ci fermammo per un “macchiato” mentre stavo accompagnandola all'aeroporto e per poco lei non perse l'aereo.
Tesoro, non riuscirò mai a capire come tu sia riuscito a laurearti in medicina.
First words
If any man knew how to hold his liquor, it was Jake Linley.
