Stephanie Laurens Title Challenge

THE CYNSTER SISTERS TITLE CHALLENGE! 

My editor, my agent, and I usually manage between us to come up with decent titles, but this time we're all titled out. So we've decided to hand it over to you, my readers, to see if you can come up with two fabulous titles for my next two books - those of the last two Cynster sisters yet unwed, Henrietta and Mary.

Click on the links at the end of this paragraph to go to each challenge page where all is explained - briefly, titles get submitted for a week, then finalists are selected and voted on the next week - and if you submit one of the titles that, at the end of the voting round, is chosen by popular acclaim, you will be acknowledged on the Acknowledgements page in the respective book. This is your chance to have your name in print at the beginning of one of my books. Interested? Check it out and enter - but be quick! The first round of suggesting titles lasts for just a week - and please note you can enter only one title per book, so make it your best. First round ends July 6 (5:00 pm US-EST), and voting on the finalists, separately for each book, begins July 10. 

Further details on the Challenge pages. Open to all readers globally.

Review: Scottish Brides by Julia Quinn et al

Scottish Brides
by Christina Dodd, Stephanie Laurens, Julia Quinn, Karen Ranney
Fairchild Family #2.5

An anthology full of hot Scottish dudes...how was I supposed to resist?

Under the Kilt by Christina Dodd


One slippery Scottish lass with abandonment issues and the wily Englishman determined to catch her, let the fun begin!

I know this one is part of a series, and if the series is as cute, romantic and a touch naughty like this short story was then I think I need to look for the first book! It was a good start to the anthology.

Rose in Bloom by Stephanie Laurens

Rose was always a thorn in Duncan's side when they were children, but now they are all grown and now Duncan wants to turn the tables and play a few adult games with his delectable thorn...

Och I love a broody Scottish hero and Stephanie Lauren delivered and it was fun watching Duncan and Rose realize their attraction for one another. Although not my favourite story it was a good quick read with a satisfying *waggles eyebrows* ending.

Gretna Greene by Julia Quinn


Margaret is looking for her imbecile of a brother who has decided to run off to Gretna to marry a very unsuitable bride, instead she finds Angus, a vexing, gallant and very attractive Scotsman. Angus is looking for his moronic sister who has decided to runaway to London he never meant to come to the rescue of a bedraggled, beautiful and argumentative Englishwoman...

I got this anthology when I saw that Julia Quinn had a short story in it, I love her books they are always funny, sweet and a little quirky. This one was no exception, I loved it! My only complaint...why wasn't it longer? Before I knew it I had finished it.

The Glenlyon Bride by Karen Ranney


A classic tale involving a case of mistaken identity, a prophecy and...whiskey!?

I liked this, but I think I was still flying high after having read the Julia Quinn story so it didn't really capture my attention. But it was okay, the hero and heroine were likable and it had a air of mystery and almost magic with their clandestine moonlit meetings and a prophecy weighing heavily on the hero's mind. A solid addition to the anthology, but not my favourite.
