British Bad Boys

Here Warren gives us three wonderful Brits to fall in love with: George a proper English Lord who looses his cool and shows his steamy passionate side, Arthur the Irish pub owner who find a a lovely mystery writer who makes him want quit playing the field so that he can be her 'villian' for the rest of their lives, and Jack, who's always the best man but never the groom, a closet romantic who finally finds his bride. For some reason I thought that this was one of the multi-author collections. I was surprised to discover that was not the case because each of the stories has a very different feel. While the language in the second story was much cruder than the first, Warren did a great job of avoiding the cookie cutter production line trap, where the only thing that changes is the names of the stars. Warren she managed to develop all six of the leads well enough so that when she gave us the treat of giving them cameos in the subsequent stories, they were still separate entities instead of a bunch of generic clones. I am a sucker for these bad boys anthologies, I like these quick reads for days when I can't commit to a full novel. If you do too, Warren has more bad boys with a cool accents, check out her Aussies in Bad Boys Down Under.
