The Potter sisters are impoverished relations. The two older sisters are determined to get jobs so that their youngest sister can make a good match. The middle sister, Louise, heads north to become a governess. She travels with her new employer's uncle, whom she assumes will be elderly. Well, wouldn't you know it? He's a handsome duke. You know what happens next. Youngest sister, Eve, goes to spend Christmas with her friends. One wrong turn and she ends up at an Earl's house. Again, you know what happens next. Finally, the last story was the one that really irked me the most. The other two were just shallow, but this was the worst. Eldest daughter, Louise, is an accountant who gets sacked by a chauvinist duke - who she then falls in love with. What? Ok. Anyway, it was too much.

Being blonde helps with everything

Three sisters living in genteel poverty find rich titled husbands. A lot of Regency romances have a similar premise. These sisters, despite having a brain and some excellent education despite being women in 19th century England win their spouses primarily on the basis of their golden/silvery blonde looks and bright blues together with supposedly luscious, but well covered bodies. All stories start out well enough but later turn into sugary and syrupy narratives that turns this reader off.

Three beautiful sisters in dire straits find titled men to marry and rescue them from poverty.

These are three novellas that utilize insta-love to reach their foretold conclusion. There is the theme of delayed gratification until marriage in each novella. The tropes of only one bed, trapped in a snowstorm, and enemies to lovers make their appearance to drive the story to it's ultimate conclusion.

I liked some elements of the stories, but I could barely decipher the difference between the three sisters as far as the physical description-they are all perfectly curvy and beautiful with silvery blonde hair. It makes the insta-love feel slightly superficial since two of the stories take place within a week. The last novella was more believable since they waited five weeks before consummating their wedded bliss.

I would recommend this read if you are interested in getting a feel for Sophie Barnes' writing style without committing to a longer read.
