Resumen del Editor

Eventually, all wallflowers will have their chance at love...this is where it begins.

"The Wallflower’s Dance" by Jen Geigle Johnson

Lottie Hughes likes people, as long as they aren't too close. Does it bother her that no one asks her to dance? Yes, but she's not sure how to drum up dance partners when she has almost no dowry and no title, and freezes up when anyone tries to talk to her. When she suddenly inherits a huge amount and is the new center of attention all over London, her secret dreams might come true but also her worst nightmares. Suddenly everyone wants to talk to her. Men ask her to dance. And she is inundated with interested suitors. She fights to stay close to the few friends she knows are true. One man saw her before her life changed forever. But does she want to accept his help when he, too, might be insincere?

"Letters to a Wallflower" by Heather B. Moore

Ellen might be beautiful and considered a diamond of the first water by Society, but she is so very tired of the pressure to marry a titled gentleman so that her beauty won’t go to waste. When her cousin Dinah dares Ellen to attend a ball with no frills and to stand with the wallflowers, Ellen takes on the dare. What’s in the wager for her? The prize cuttings of her aunt’s extraordinary roses. But what Ellen isn’t expecting is Lord Ravenshire to engage her in the most interesting conversation. When she confesses to him of her opposition in marrying for a title, he confesses his distaste of the London scene. They strike a bargain together, one which will either push them apart or lead to a future sweeter than either of them could have imagined.

"To Marry a Wallflower" by Anneka R. Walker

Charlotte Winters is destined to spinsterhood until she turns down an unwanted proposal and everything changes. With gossip rampant, her father attempts to salvage her reputation by betrothing her to another. Soon she is sent off to her aunt’s to meet Lord Templeton, her intended. Anxiety-ridden, Charlotte begs her aunt to let her observe Lord Templeton from afar before their introduction. She never planned to pretend to be her fictional cousin to learn more about him, or to fall in love with Lord Templeton’s friend in the process. Lord Templeton dreads returning to the empty halls of Newcliff Manor. When his father’s old friend, Mr. Winters reaches out for assistance, Lord Templeton finds himself returning home engaged to a woman he has never met. Desperate to learn more about Miss Winters, he befriends her cousin. He wouldn’t have spoken to her, or lied about his identity, if he’d known the quiet woman would sneak into his heart.

Enjoyed

These were short and sweet. I enjoyed the second and third ones the most because there was also a little intrigue. The narrators were both excellent. My preference is one narrator per book, but they did a good job capturing the two different points of view. The volume could have been adjusted between the chapters by the producer, though, since one reader was slightly louder than the other.

Wonderful!

First-these authors are some of my favorites so I knew these stories would be fantastic! Second-I was right! I loved each of these stories so much. I loved the premise of writing stories focused on wallflowers-you don’t see that much in the regency stories. Such a great anthology!!
The narration of the audiobook was super fun.

An excellent Regency anthology

This was an anthology full of amazing, well written romances. Each story was unique and approached love from differing viewpoints and circumstances, but linked together by having wallflowers as the theme. These stories were clean reads and were very well edited.  The narrators did an excellent job and brought the stories to life.

I was given an advance copy of this audiobook. My review was voluntary and my opinions were my own. I highly recommend this anthology to Regency historical romance lovers. These anthologies were wonderful quick reads and I'm looking forward to reading the next anthology in this series.

Cute Regency novellas.

I really enjoyed all three of these novellas focused around wallflowers. The narration was well done and I appreciated the dual narrators to match the dual POV. They each had a nice accent to help the characters feel authentic. While I enjoyed each story, I do have to say Anneka Walker’s was my favorite and absolutely adorable! I’d recommend this anthology just for hers, though all three are worth the listen/read.

Sweet Regency Novellas

I love all of the Timeless romance anthologies, but this one is my favorite! The narration is fantastic!

Nice clean romances

Enjoyable clean romances. Some were slow but I was cleaning and they were nice distractions.

Wonderful narration

This has turned out to be one of my favorite reads. The excellent narration enhanced the stories and brought the individuals to life. I will definitely be listening to this again.

A charming collection!

Clean Regency Novella collection

I'd wanted to read this since it came out. I finally used an Audible credit to purchase. It was fine, not spectacular.

Of course novellas aren't the same as full novels, and I knew that going in. I just needed some quick stories to fill time on a short road trip. These did the trick.

I didn't love the narrators. And I thought the term "wallflower" was a stretch for the stories. I wanted more real wallflowers finding love.

But overall, I'm happy I finally got to listen to these. The authors included here are top notch.

Frustrating endings

The first two were cute but the endings were lacking. The third one was so frustrating! Why was the heroine so insipid and obedient! She should have put her foot down and refused the betrothal in the beginning and told her father she was angry! I can’t stand it when the female is lacking gumption!
