Publisher's summary

New York Times and USA Today best-selling authors Tessa Dare and Christi Caldwell come together in this smart, sexy, not-to-be-missed Regency Duet!  

His Bride for the Taking: It's the first rule of friendship among gentlemen: Don't even think about touching your best friend's sister. But Sebastian, Lord Byrne, has never been one for rules. He's thought about touching Mary Clayton - a lot - and struggled to resist temptation. But when Mary's bridegroom leaves her waiting at the altar, only Sebastian can save her from ruin. By marrying her himself.  

His Duchess for a Day: It was never meant to be... That's what Elizabeth Terry has told herself while trying to forget the man she married - her once best friend. Passing herself off as a widow, Elizabeth has since built a life for herself as an instructor at a finishing school, far away from that greatest of mistakes. But the past has a way of finding you, and now that her husband has found her, Elizabeth must face the man she's tried to forget.

Hard to rate

This one is hard to rate since I LOVED the Tessa Dare story but not so much Christi Caldwell. I had to keep skipping ahead in the Caldwell book. SO BORING. It was all inner thoughts and exposition. Blah. Blah. Blah. Nothing happened until the last few chapters. Then even when there was a possible good scene with his icky mother, we missed the good part where Crispin tells his mother off and the mother's reaction. Boring.

However the Tessa Dare story is TERRIFIC and definitely worth a read. Justine does a great job. I'll probably keep it just for the Dare story. But I wouldn't bother unless you get on sale. Only half good book. I would have rated the Dare book 5 stars...but simply couldn't rate the Caldwell book high so the overall rating suffered.

TINY TALES OF MISUNDERSTANDING

Both little stories require a lot of reader patience to track through the numerous predictable switchbacks caused by the characters' overwrought scruples.

Two, too short!

That about sums up my opinion. Even the Christi Caldwell piece was good! It's my opinion that she usually is, but often has trouble getting out of her own way with her tendency for inner dialogue.

Both pieces we short, sweet, well done, and enjoyable. Both had the good fortune of being performed by a first class narrator as well.

Worth a credit? Hmmm., I guess I have to say YES!

This is TWO shorter stories

The description of this book is actually of the second of the two stories. The first story in this book starts with a young woman jilted and her brother’s best friend rescuing her reputation by marrying her instead.

The length of the books makes them a bit simple and not all that interesting, verses a full length book. The second story uses a style where frequent flashbacks tell details of the story, but the way it is done is actually a bit disorienting, at least in audio form.

Justine Eyre narrates well as always.

Story one was good; two was frustrating

Justine Eyre was wonderful as usual. The first story was cute and done well considering the length. The second one was frustrating with too much internal dialogue and missed communication.

Good Stories

Both of these stories were very good. Nicely written with interesting characters. Good plot development and unique plots. Eyre is not one of my favorite narrators, however, she is either getting better or I’m getting used to her little quirks. I still have to increase the speed to 1.1 but she didn’t make me not want to listen as she has done with other books.

TD 5+, CCaldwell -1

Tessa is a brilliant romance writer creating likable characters and infusing LOL moments in her stories. Caldwells female lead is so irritating and unlikable you wonder why the male lead would even bother with her! Such a “woe is me, THE victim”. I should have stopped listening after the feel good mood I was in after finishing TDare. Unfortunately, difficult as it was..I finished Caldwells story and was left feeling angst and angry at a stupid character that I would have loved to have horses and carriage wheels trample her dead so that the Duke could go have a happy life without her!

First one good

The four stars is because I did not care for the second story. It’s difficult to follow a story that hops from past to present from sentence to sentence.
I was actually impressed with how well the first story developed. Although it was short, it’s content was not.

Two authors I admire, not a worthy effort

First story was okay. Second was really tedious, I fast forwarded it to the end. Waste of time and credit.

One great story, one less so

Tessa Dare’s story was delightful but the second was repetitive and had far too much telling rather than showing. Too much time in the heads of the protagonists who weren’t interesting enough to warrant it

I agree with jaylt,

First story was pretty good, aside from over generous treatment of feckless thieving servants. Next story had too many storms in a small teacup.

Just gorgeous

This audiobook sees two talented writers sharing two very different love stories about couples whose love may have gone unrequited if not for the luck or tempting of ‘fate’. The first story by Tessa Dare (who’s writing I adore) lives up to her humorous best whilst Christi Caldwell’s heartfelt story saw me dabbing my wet eyes on occasion. This was an excellent find and I highly recommend. Nb: Justine’s narration is excellent as always.

Two enjoyable stories

I really enjoyed both these stories and Justine Eyre’s wonderful narration topped it off beautifully!
