The True Love Wedding Dress ReviewI agree with the previous reviewer that rating anthologies can be tricky as some stories are always better than others. This one is no different. The book starts off promisingly, with the prologue by Catherine Anderson (who also does the books epilogue). A servant, Aileanna, who descends from a line of sorceress', is stitching her selfish, mistresses wedding dress. Our witch, though, is in love with the groom-to-be, Halford, a highborn English gentleman. Though magic, the dress is blessed to bring good luck to whomever wears it and our couple run off to get married. Halford is willing to forgo his inheritance to be with her and even suggests going to America. Then the story ends.
I had thought that all the stories would be tied together not though a dress but though family connections to that couple. Aileanna had red hair and Halford incredible blue eyes and blond hair and all our hero/heroines had some of the mix. But it was never clear if indeed anyone was related to the young lovers.
The first story is the best. Barbara Metzger's A Perfect Fit comes close to being a perfect story. It is fun, light, believable and enjoyable. Katie Cole, a highborn Lady, lives in a cottage with her daughter, Susannah, preparing for Susannah's wedding to Gerald. Katie lives falsely as a widow; Susannah is a bastard and Katie's family disowned her as she anticipated her wedding vows 18 years earlier. Viscount Forde comes to see if Katie and Susannah are using his nephew, Gerald, for his money and to see if the wedding should happen at all. They are a sexy couple and the dialogue is smart and funny. Of course love blooms, and there is that mysterious wedding dress that just won't get dirty, even when falling in mud. The only flaw with this story is Kate's father. It was unbelievable how he turned up in the end.
Connie Brockway's Glad Rags follows. Alexander, Viscount Thorpe, was sort of engaged to Lucy St. James two years before our story opens. It was never public, just sort of assumed. Lucy, in a fit of pique as she wanted him to actually ask her before he went to war, tries to make him jealous and all that happens is he leaves and they are finished. Now, two year later after his dash off to war, it seems that Alexander's former good friend and Lucy's brother, Hugh, carries a grudge. With a ridiculous bet when Thorpe returns to the Ton party world, he tries to make a fool of Thorpe. The bet was silly and uninteresting. The level of pride between Thorpe and Lucy was over done. The story fails, and badly, as there is no sense of real love or devotion between them. A rather boring story.
Casey Claybourne's Something Special, features a mail order governess to a young girl outside of Seattle. Penny, who comes to teach Eliza without Eliza's Dad knowing as he is away months at a time logging, is a nice heroine. Nice twist about the reading. Eliza and her manservant are engaging as well as Eliza's Dad. It is a nice story and enjoyable. The couple blends well.
Catherine Anderson's Beautiful Gifts is I did not enjoy. Between Faith, a rich NY runaway mom with a little girl, who hails from the East, and our pokey cowboy, Paddy, the story does not work. Faith's father, a rich, vindictive mean man tracks Faith and her daughter to Oregon, where they are staying with Paddy. The father wanted to yet arrange antoher marriage for Faith that she did not want. The way Paddy gets rid of her Dad is unbelievable. A man as devious as Faith's Dad would not leave with his tail between his legs.
And Anderson's epilogue is too short and uncertain. Is Charlotte a descendant of Aileanna and Halford? The book is not clear and I find that I rather know what is going on rather than read between the lines.
