The royal festivities bring together the rich and the desperate, the criminal and the lordly…and allow four very different dukes to find the love of a lifetime.

A retired prizefighter, once known as the Duke of the Ring, stakes his reputation on a scrappy young boxer for the sake of a long-lost love.

And the buccaneer son of a royal duke goes hunting for a respectable, highborn wife to salvage his scandalous reputation.
Let the pleasures begin...

Received for Review (from Authors)
What a wonderful anthology! Sometimes in an anthology, there is one story I don’t like as much as the others, but NOT in this case. The four stories are all very good and original. I especially enjoyed the mix of aristocracy and commoners. I liked all of the heroes and heroines, but I admit Godrick was my favorite hero. One of the nice things about anthologies is you can read them individually if you don’t have much reading time. I highly recommend this book.
Thanks to the authors for the ARC.

During her non-reading time you can find her hanging with her rescue furr children named after book characters: Lizzie a beautiful cattle dog mix (Pound Pup), Cinder a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Pound Pup), and Minerva a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Foster Fail). Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

Anthologies are a mixed bag, but I love it when all the stories are enjoyable! Love that!
Me too. I think I am picking this one up 🙂
It isn’t often you get four quality stories in an anthology. That’s awesome.
Donna is busting my TBR 🙂 I knew bringing on a historical romance reader was gonna be the death of me 🙂
Historical anthology’s always make me wish they were actual books XD
Me too 🙂 They are never ever long enough (I feel that way about novellas in general)
Ohh I would totally read it 🙂
I know! Donna is busting my TBR!
