Summary

From the publisher of the USA TODAY bestselling & #1 Amazon bestselling Timeless Romance Anthology series in Clean & Wholesome Romance, comes A HOLIDAY IN BATH. 

Three brand new Regency Romance novellas by Julie Daines, Caroline Warfield, and Jaima Fixsen 

TRIAL OF THE HEART by Julie Daines 
Marianne Wood has been summoned to Bath to testify against the man who killed her family. She dreads coming face to face with the monster of her nightmares, but finds surprising comfort under the care of a charming barrister, Harby Northam. Despite his kindly attentions, Mr. Northam is a shrewd and discerning man of law with an awful secret. Marianne is put to the test as she deals with the evil of her past and her growing affection for the mysterious Mr. Northam. 

LORD EDMUND’S DILEMMA by Caroline Warfield 
Lucy Ashcroft doesn’t share her stepmother’s belief that she might find a husband during her sojourn in Bath, but she does enjoy a respite from a household full of half-siblings and a younger sister preparing for her London Season, something Lucy can’t even dream about. In Bath, she enjoys the company of the elderly ladies in her aunt’s circle, and happy to be out from under her stepmother’s watchful and speculating eye. But when Lucy meets Lord Edmund Parker, all of her expectations for a quiet, unassuming holiday suddenly change. 

THE ART OF KISSING IN THE PARK by Jaima Fixsen 
Caroline Trenholme is not pleased with Bath, the fussy, antiquated resort of the shabby-genteel. She ought to be in London, finding a man—not here, coddling her irrational grandmother. In the park, she crosses paths (literally—this is Bath, after all) with a nameless, mannerless rogue, intent on stealing a kiss. As if his proposition weren’t insult enough, even her dog seems to like the man better. It's impossible! Especially once she suspects she might like him too…

My Review

A HOLIDAY IN BATH is a fabulous addition to the Timeless Regency Collection! Characters who come alive, intense story-lines, and sweet endings are sure to entertain fans of the genre. This is definitely a recommended novella collection!

TRIAL OF THE HEART by Julie Daines: This story completely surprised me with its suspense and mystery. I wasn't expecting that aspect, nor the intensity of the story. This story literally grabbed me and didn't let go until the climatic end. I also adored the characters, particularly Marianne. Loved it!

LORD EDMUND’S DILEMMA by Caroline Warfield: This story was utterly charming. I loved the way Edmund slowly falls in love and then is frustrated that he has to get things in order before he can proceed. It played out in such a way that it really tugged on so many emotions. I also loved Edmund and how he has to figure things out. Another story I loved!

THE ART OF KISSING IN THE PARK by Jaima Fixsen: Oh my gosh! This story! It made me laugh, sigh, and even made me sad. I loved how I felt like the characters and story was so deep in so few pages. I also loved that it wasn't the usual man having to run after the girl, which added a nice twist. This was a fantastic story to finish up this collection!

In the end, was it what I wished for? Yes! I loved all three stories in this collection from beginning to end. I particularly felt the authors did a great job in developing their characters in so few pages. If you're looking for some historical novellas with some intensity and fun, definitely grab this one!
