After the success of The Lady Most Likely, New York Times best-selling authors Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, and Connie Brockway have joined together once again, but this time to ask the question, 'Who is The Lady Most Willing?'

When Laird Taran Ferguson's nephews refuse to wed and secure his birthright, he takes matters into his own hands, raiding a ball and kidnapping four likely brides - a bonny lass, an heiress with a slight reputation problem, a rich English beauty, and a maiden without a name or a fortune. But which one is ready to fall in love with the Scottish lord?

Add a very angry duke, a decrepit castle, and a fierce Highland storm that is holding all of Taran's "guests" captive to the mix, and listeners will find themselves transported to a world of temptation, passion, and new and unexpected love. This historical romance novel in three parts - a single story with three compelling voices - is one that will not soon be forgotten.

Absolutely Loved this Collaboration

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

I thoroughly enjoyed their first collaboration, ‘The Lady Most Likely’, but I absolutely adored this book! (The audiobook is terrific, too.) So many characters I won’t soon forget and I’m still heartily laughing at the hijinks! We got an overzealous Scottish uncle, eager to get his 2 nephews (and heirs) wed. So much so that he hatches a plan to kidnap some brides for the laddies to woo. Of course, nothing goes according to plan. One of lasses is grabbed by mistake, the carriage they use holds a sleeping Duke, and the one that seemed the most demure is a crazy hoyden, if ever you met one! Add to that a terrific snowstorm, clothes from the last century, and the interfering uncle, and it’s a recipe for one of the most entertaining books I’ve read in a while. Highly recommend!

The Lady Most Willing

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2017

I recently listened to the Audible edition of The Lady Most Willing, a historical romance novel in three parts. This cooperative effort is made up of the work of Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, and Connie Brockway. I also own the Kindle edition of this book, but sometimes it’s easier to listen than to read.

The story begins with a kidnapping. Laird Taran Ferguson decides that it is time that his nephews- Robin and Byron- settle down and marry. So, he does what any rational man would do- he kidnaps several eligible young heiresses from a house party at a neighboring house and brings them to his decrepit castle. Robin and Byron are mortified by this, and then the situation becomes even more complicated when a snowstorm cuts off the castle from the main road, forcing everyone to hunker down for a few days. And then added to the mix, we have two unexpected guests- a charming young lady who is most certainly not an heiress and a very angry young duke who was sleeping in his carriage when the vehicle was used to spirit the kidnapped women away.

By using simple math, we can determine that we have three eligible bachelors and four eligible young ladies. I will refrain from discussing the particulars of the three couples so as to not spoil potential readers regarding the identities of the couples.

All three of the stories are sweet and relatively light as the characters try to make the best of their situation. One character- Marilla- stands out because she is very aggressive in her efforts to land herself a titled husband, and it is interesting to see the results of this strategy.

I would recommend The Lady Most Willing to fans of historical romance. Because we are dealing with novellas inside of a novel, there is not as much time to fully explore the characters, but the three authors do a fine job with the constraints of this format. I don’t think any of the three stories weakened the core narrative, and I was very pleased with the way things turned out.

A true Tour de force!

The best read I’ve had since the Bridgertons. Three interconnected love stories which were so satisfying. Each one surpassing the previous (but I have to admit that I enjoyed the sarcastic Duke most. So many laughable moments, often involving Taran, the kidnapping Laird himself.

Writers most entertaining...

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2012

"The Lady Most Willing..."is a historical romance novel by three of the most talented of the genre. Four women are kidnapped by a quixotic Scottish Laird and are stranded together with the Laird's nephews and a Duke by a Highland snowstorm. The romance moves quickly between the couples with each author writing about a third of the book. This novel format was used successfully in the previous author collaboration of "The Lady Most Likely...."

The book was fast paced and the different authors moved almost seamlessly through the main three romances. Fans of the three authors will probably notice the different styles and humor of the writers when the switch occurs but should not find it too jarring. The winter storm blocking the passage to the castle and the multiple romances gave the story a "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" feel but did not feel derivative thanks to the skill of the authors.

Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical romance. It was a great page turner whilst passing the time waiting on the return of the brave souls who challenged the after Christmas sales.

Great novel!

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

This novel is very well written, especially considering that it is written by 3 different authors. The flow of the 3 stories is superb and keeps you interested right till the end. I loved all 3 stories but if I had to pick a favorite, I would definitely pick Julia Quinn's story as it makes me laugh and sigh at the same time. I thought the chemistry in between Eloisa James's characters was really good too. The only complaint I had was that the novel was over far too soon and I would've liked to read another 300 pages of it. Really enjoyed it!

Delightful

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2014

Verified Purchase

Two of my favorite authors and one whom I hadn't know before (Ms. Brockway), but is now added to my list, have created a sweet and whirlwind tale and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The three heroines' tales were woven seemlessly together and the whole was delightful. I recommend it for fans of the authors and fans of Scottish romances.

Loved this!

Really enjoyed this read. It was very quick for me even though it's a lengthy book! I could not put it down. The stories were so interesting and I really just enjoyed getting to know the characters. Even though this book is by three separate authors they really strung the stories together seemlessly. I look forward to their future collaborations!

Frothy Fun!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

A fun, frothy read! There were two glaring errors and I can't understand why they were not picked up! One character is likened to Anne Elliot in Persuasion - I think they mean Elizabeth Elliot, as that was definitely the character the quotations referred to! I'd also like to know more of this King George VII......

Romance that will make you smile, when four young ladies are unceremoniously kidnapped from a ball to spend several days snowed up in a freezing castle with several unattached gentlemen....

Hilarious

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book is written by three different authors but is sewen together and linked so seamlessly you forget to notice. Each of the mini books is a fresh and enjoyable love story with funny bright characters who even in a short book pull you into their lives. Taran the uncle of two of our happy grooms kidnaps 4 women in a bid to entice his nephews into marriage, oh course the fact that he accidentally grabs a Duke is a minor inconvenience. The story takes place over a week and will have you laughing as well as invested in the ending.
