Two superstar New York Times bestsellers, Stephanie Laurens and Christina Dodd, join forces with one exciting rising star, Elizabeth Boyle, to create this sexy anthology with an exciting new theme. In an innovative new twist for anthologies, each author is reintroducing a secondary character from a previous book to star in his own story!
From Publishers Weekly
Three historical romance veterans present novellas that give the spotlight to heroes who've appeared in previous books in supporting roles. In Laurens's gentle though disappointingly conflict-free Lost and Found, longtime friends are blindsided by love, but must reunite a boy with his aristocratic family before they can indulge their hearts. In The Matchmaker's Bargain, a whimsical tale that reels with delightful screwball scenes, Boyle binds her engaging heroine to a former rake-turned-recluse, who soon recognizes this sprightly girl has taught him to live again. The final entry, Dodd's The Third Suitor, a fast-paced adventure involving a hoyden heiress and a spy on vacation at the shore, delivers many thrilling twists and turns. While each story will satisfy the individual author's readers, Dodd's has the broadest reach and provides the most entertainment per page, doling out fun main characters, a sinister villain, sizzling love scenes and a marvelous ending that will make strong women cheer.

Three stories in one book--all winners. Lost and Found by Stephanie Laurens, The Matchmaker's Bargain by Elizabeth Boyle and the Third Suitor by Christina Dodd. Settings are all Regency related but there isn't a lot of frippery involved just the story between the main characters.

Another anthology that came after "Where's My Hero" with all new authors giving their minor characters the star treatment. I just had to pick this book up when I realozed that Stephanie Laurens was finally giving a story to Reggie Carmarthen introduced in her Cynster series. A good read!

Where, oh where, is Reggie Camarthen, the handsome aristocrat Stephanie Laurens introduced in ON A WILD NIGHT? After all, he deserves to meet his match. And I must know the whereabouts of dashing Harry Chamberlain, Earl of Granville-from LOST IN YOUR ARMS by Christina Dodd-one of the most charming rogues it's ever been my pleasure to encounter. And I find the courageous, strong, yet tender type of sexy-don't you?-and I ache for the haunted but still extremely desirable James Reyburn from Elizabeth Boyle's ONCE TEMPTED to find his eternal love!

Ruta J. (bythesea) reviewed Hero, Come Back: Lost and Found / The Matchmaker's Bargain / The Third Suitor on
Anthologies are usually uneven. Unfortunately, the one story for which I could not suspend disbelief was the longest. Dodd's and Laurens' were fun reads, true to their authors and worth getting the book.
