Historical Romance
As I found out at the end of this novella Lord Stillwell
decided he was more than a secondary character in Victoria Alexander’s
novels. He showed up in her study
demanding a book of his own. To
quote the author “I knew the man wasn’t going to leave me alone until I gave
him what he wanted. But I will
make him earn that happy ending.
It won’t be easy for either of us.”
Lord Stillwell’s Excellent Engagements is a prequel in
novella form to “The Importance of Being Wicked” It tells the story of Lord Stillwell’s three previous
engagements and why they failed.
Part of the tale we learn from letters written to Stillwell’s cousin
Grey in America and part in story form.
This is a great background for what is to come. The story drops off at the end of the last engagement and before the start of the full length book Lord Stillwell demanded from the author. After reading the novella I am anxious
for the book.
With that enough is said.
Kensington Books published Lord Stillwell’s Excellent Engagements by Victoria Alexander in 2012.
I recieved an ARC of Lord Stillwell's Excellent Engagements from NetGalley.
Goodreads Summary:.

Alexander, eligible viscount Winfield Elliott searches for a bride and
discovers that love may be lovelier the second—or even third—time around…
ALLOW ME
TO EXPLAIN…
Some say
I do not take my engagements seriously. Nonsense. What man with no interest in
marriage would find himself proposing not once, but three times? And each time,
I’ve felt certain that this, at last, is the absolutely, positively, perfect
woman.
Miss Felicia Whitingdon, for
instance, has youth, beauty, style, grace—and a handsome fortune. Lady Lucille
Eustice is a widow of impeccable social standing, and a balm to my soul. Then
there is Miss Caroline Hibbit, sweet and charming in every way. Any one of
these intoxicating treasures could make a man happy. Any one of them could be
an ideal wife. But which—if any of them—will it be?
