It's wonderful revisiting the world of Lady Whistledown and what makes this collection really shine is the inter-connectedness of the stories. All the stories are delightful and a lovely afternoon read. (

I preferred this collection of stories rather than the first one. I thought they were better paced and with more engaging characters. (

While fun - I just wasn't as invested in this short story collection centering around Lady Whistledown and the mystery behind who stole Lady Neeley's ruby bracelet. Four different romance novellas all take place around the same two week span and some of the characters even interact with each other. Four different romance writers write in the style of Julia Quinn and give us four more romances in the Bridgerton world. The four romance novellas were ok, but nothing to write home about and I'm not sure if I will ever read it again. Not horrible - just not as good as the Bridgerton saga - I respect what these ladies were trying to do though. (

I enjoyed these stories especially when they would all meet up at spots as the stories all take place at the same time. It was neat to see how each author incorporated their characters to match what's already been said from another author. I will have to check out Mia Ryan's other books as she's a new to me author! (
