Hugh Theodore Dunne, Earl of Briarly, is a man who practically lives in his stables breeding and training his Arabian horses. Now he has decided that since he has married off his sisters that it is time for him to find a wife and gain an heir. The problem is that he is not the typical Earl. He doesn't claim his seat in the court, he doesn't even like being in London, he doesn't mingle with the ton, he has no idea how to even begin looking for a wife or how to court a lady. That is why he has come to visit his sister, Lady Carolyn Finchly.

Lady Carolyn has decided to make a list of possible brides for her brother. Now, how to get these women to a place that Hugh can meet them. She makes up her mind to have a party at their country estate. Along with the women on the list she will invite a few men as well to sweeten the pot for those invited. Hugh brings along his new horse, Richlieu, to further entice the men to come.

Lady Carolyn has three women on her list for her brother. She plans out games and dancing and other activities for all the guests in order to give Hugh a chance to spend time with each woman. The biggest trick is getting Hugh out of the stables long enough to join in. All the while a few are playing some games of their own.

This book basically has three stories all rolled into one. What starts out to be one love story turns out to be three. Everything revolves around the party. And what an interesting party it becomes with all the players involved. Reading this book was a lot of fun. I enjoyed it immensely. Watching how each love story bloomed was wonderful. The three authors who put this together did a great job. It shows how well they work together. Each of the authors are well published on their own. It was fun, it was romantic, and it left me begging for more. I can't imagine anyone not liking this book. It was well worth the wait.
