In Praise of Younger Men
Jo Beverley, Cathy Maxwell, Jaclyn Reding, Lauren Royal
Four authors with plenty of talent tackle a fascinating
concept: older women, younger men. For hundreds of years,
society has seemed to want women to marry men their senior,
but love does not always follow the rules. These ladies
show us that breaking this rule is just the right thing to
do. Cathy Maxwell gives us a Scottish Regency
romance about a young man who needs to learn to dance to
capture the hand of the town's belle. However, once he
starts taking lessons from a governess, he also begins to
change his mind about who he wants to wed in the delightful
and utterly charming "A Man Who Can Dance."
"Forevermore" is Lauren Royal's Restoration romance
about a couple who meet at a wedding and then part when he
must return home.
Yet, neither will forget that fateful meeting—but doesn't
love always find a way to bloom? Paranormal fans will savor
Jaclyn Reding's "Written In The Stars." A woman's
gifted aunt reveals that she must marry before her next
birthday or be unhappy forever. But when a younger man
offers to save her by becoming the groom, she refuses, not
wanting to ruin his chance for happiness. Can he convince
her that she is his happiness? Destitute and about to end
his life, a soldier is saved by a wealthy widow who hires
him to pretend to be her fiance. The relationship is
further complicated when they fall in love. She fears that
she is robbing the cradle until she learns that emotional
age and maturity are what count in Jo Beverley's
poignant "The Demon's Mistress." You'll be looking for a
young man after reading this unforgettable anthology!
