This one skewers some common tropes most amusingly, but the overall story falls short of the mark.

The Wayward One by Danelle Harmon
Cutting this familiar seafaring romance by about 200 pages would have done wonders for it.
A Gentleman Never Tells by Eloisa James
For a short story, this one has such sweet and adorable characters. The happy ending is a tough sell, though.
A Scot in the Dark by Sarah MacLean
I’ve got two tickets to Iron Maiden, baby. Come with me Friday, don’t say maybe…
Forbidden Nights with the Viscount by Julia Justiss
Ooh! Intelligent, sensible good people with chemistry and passion.
The Beast of Clan Kincaid by Lily Blackwood
Will Daddy love her? What about the children? #1 priorities for a heroine besieged by evil rapists, horrid stepmothers, and limited brainpower.
No Mistress of Mine Laura Lee Guhrke
You won’t get a seizure reading this, but you may roll your eyes hard at the conflict that started the ball rolling.
Claiming the Chaperon’s Heart by Anne Herries
There is some old-school charm to be savored here, but you’d have to work through some tedious narrative to get there!
The Innocent and the Outlaw by Harper St George
After the author’s previous book, I never thought I’d like this one this much. Goody, indeed.
A Right Honorable Gentleman by Courtney Milan
A right fantastic on-point short story, this is. Absolutely right and fantastic.
