I started reading this anthology last year and didn't get to finish it. I picked it up again this year and finally finished it. I love this Timeless Regency Collection! The stories are all great and written by some of the best romance writers today. I liked the theme and it made for some amusing scenes in each story. If you've never read any of these anthologies you should. They are short enough to pick up and read one each night but they are also well developed so you get to read a good story. As always, I always wish that the stories were longer because I liked the characters so much. Read this anthology for some clean Regency romances.

Wedding Wagers by Donna Hatch, Heather B. Moore, Michele Paige Holmes

Three men. Three wagers. Three fun stories about the misunderstandings that resulted.

Three men. Three wagers. Three fun stories about the misunderstandings that resulted. The authors of the Timeless Romance books write consistently good stories. With the right mix of humor and romance, these books always please.

I hadn’t read the synopsis before reading, so other than wagers about weddings, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Having read a number of books from the Regency period, I know that the types of wagers that were made were pretty crazy, so I was prepared for just about anything.


Author Donna Hatch, in A Wager on Love, told of Phillip, the younger brother of a Duke. Poor Phillip had pretty much always been sought out for his family and status for so long, he almost gave up on finding a woman who would love him for himself. The way that Phillip fell for Meredith so quickly and completely was very sweet. Her skepticism and previous hurts kept her from trusting him and made for an interesting story. I enjoyed the witty writing.


The Final Wager had me surprised at the wager and who was involved in it. Victor was very noble and kind. His determination to always do the right thing was admirable and led him to make a very difficult decision that put his heart in peril.

In An Improbable Wager, the wager is made by two boys, one a nobleman’s son, the other a nobody. The very fact that Eli fell in love as a youngster was so very sweet. The direction the story went was not expected and made it quite enjoyable.
