I rather liked all (but the last) of the stories in this one – especially those concerning servants or poor people finding love. (  ) kayceel | Feb 23, 2009 | The second anthology under the auspices of Quinn's fabulous Lady Whistledown is as solid as the first. (And, like the first, if you pay attention you'll see Lady Whistledown's alter ego make cameos within some of the stories.) In this anthology, the characters in each story are occassionally secondary characters in the other stories, rather than just having incindental mentions. This leads to several scenes being retold from multiple points of view. A nice touch most of the time, but there is one very long scene where I ended up skimming several pages of repeated text. The stories themselves are wonderful. Suzanne Enoch's story "The Best of Both Worlds" is by far my favorite. The ending scene was perfect. Mia Ryan's comes in second, and Julia Quinn's third. Karen Hawkins's story "The Only One for Me" was enjoyable, but I didn't get a sense of chemistry between the two characters.
