From New York Times bestselling romance author Kasey Michaels, a three book Regency Romance box set.

INDISCREET:
There is a serious side to this romantic farce; two people who think they know who they are, what they want ... and then get smacked in the face with the realization life doesn't always fit into neat little boxes. (Plus! Readers and reviewers agree: Indiscreet has one of the funniest Prologues in fiction.)

ESCAPADE:
Caledonia Johnston, ready to exact justice in the name of her absent brother, mistakenly lands in a coach owned by Simon Roxbury, one who shares the same enemy as Callie. An unholy alliance is struck, and the two conspirators battle each other, a matchmaking mama, two interested and not above interfering friends, and a poor soul (who doesn't look his best in pink) in this delicious tale of revenge gone wrong and romance definitely gone right!

A MASQUERADE IN THE MOONLIGHT:
A brash American, Thomas Joseph Donovan, arrives in London just in timeto meet debutante Marquerite Balfour, young, beautiful, and very much in Donovan's way. It would appear she has some mischief afoot, mischiefthat could ruin Donovan's mission to arrange some "deliveries" to hiscountry, hoping to avoid yet another war with England. Bring on a battle of wills, a battle of wits... and an attraction that can't be denied.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE MASTER OF STORYTELLING REGENCIES HAS DONE IT AGAIN
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2016

I have gone on record many times saying that Ms. Michaels is one of my favorite authors. This boxed set is no exception. I have, however read all of these stories before. That does not change the fact that they are well worth both the first and second read.

I think if you have ever read a Kasey Michaels story you will really like this collection. If not this is a perfect opportunity to read some of her works at a very reasonable price.

My advise is don't pass up an opportunity that presents itself. You will find her stories entertaining, intriguing with strong wonderful and exciting characters both male a nd female. Ms Michaels is a master of the regency venue and has a truly entertaining style and her characters are witty, funny and bold. I always love a good Kasey Michaels rendering, even when they are less than the best, which these ones definitely are above that line.

Read and enjoy the renderings of a master storyteller.

Although the stories were well written and the storylines well defined, I didn't enjoy them. I tried to see the humor the author tried to relate but couldn't see it. The stories had intrigue, violence, love, and happily ever afters.

Kasey Michaels most definitely has a way with words. She writes circles and rings and full race tracks around the majority of authors on Amazon, those who are younger and less experienced in the genre, or those who are less erudite, less educated in how to write a well-written turn of phrase and make it sound not only natural, but know when to employ it to great effect, too. I have not laughed so much in quite some time as I did when reading the first two books in this series of three. The third book was not funny to me so much as it was a tale of intrigue and also a tale of two people who fall in love who are well-matched and who keep the reader on her toes. This was a series that was well worth reading and far from mundane and it was most definitely not formulaic. It will most definitely make you laugh.

4.0 out of 5 stars Three Wild Regency Romances
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2016

I love Kasey Michaels' books. She is one of the best writers I have ever read. Her Regency books, while keeping to period language and history, are entertaining to the extreme. This Regency boxed set, Enterprising Ladies does not disappoint.

I liked the first book Indiscreet which tells the story of His Grace, Bramwell, Nineth Duke of Selbourne and Sophie Winstead. The cheeky prologue was the perfect beginning to this unusual tale of what goes around, comes around. The plot was a bit quirky, but solid with likable characters, dry humor and several twists. It had all the Kasey Michaels elements that are her hallmark.

I laughed myself to tears as I read book two, Escapade. It tells the story of Simon Roxbury the Viscount Brockton and his petite kidnapper Miss Caledonia Johnston. I loved this twisted story and all of the interesting characters. In fact, this book was my favorite of the three.

The story of Marguerite Balfour and Thomas Donovan in A Masquerade in the Moonlight was a bit more serious with more intrigue and evil doers. There wasn't as much humor, but there was a lot of banter, love and passion between Marguerite and Thomas. Because the plot was a bit involved, there was more description, which tended to slow it down, but not so much as to ruin the ending. I was glad that Ms. Michaels added the epilogue.

Excellent. They are so much more than simple romances. There is intrigue. There is humor. There are many, complex, and idiosyncratic characters. So worth the price.

I loved the second book. The first book dragged and I had trouble understanding what was going on some of the time. The third book was OK. I didn't like some of the characters, I had a hard time keeping all the lords straight because they were sometimes addressed by their title and sometimes by their names. This got really confusing. The only reason I finished it was because I really was interested to find out what the h was doing to the five men she had targeted.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 28, 2019

I have not even finished the first story, which descends, at times, into farce, and beggars belief! This does not matter one iota because it is written with skill and verve and has a feeling of break-neck speed. If you enjoy the ridiculous you'll be highly amused by it. As a bonus, it perfectly reflects the saucy naughtiness of the Regency period

This was an interesting set of novels in that each felt like it was written by a different person. The 2nd book was a slow start but had me laughing at the antics. The 3rd book while a great story took me the longest to get through. Over all Kasey Michaels is an excellent author and I applaud her trying to make the stories different from all the other cookie cutter historical romances.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tales of enterprising revenge
Reviewed in Australia on March 27, 2016

All three stories in this collection have a common theme of spirited women seeking vengeance among the peerage of regency England. The first was great, the second was ok and the third was just confusing.

The collection is worth buying just for the highly entertaining first book in this collection, 'Indiscrete'. I had read this previously and loved its wit and charm, rating it five stars.

The second story 'Escapade' didn't quite come up to the same standard. It was good fun but the romantic relationship felt a bit arid. The story was about high spirited Caledonia who is bent on avenging her brother by shooting his nemesis in the knee. She meets Simon Roxbury, a nobleman who is seeking revenge on the same man. Her sidekick is a dim but loyal male neighbour. The side characters were the essence of this story. Wish the central relationship had as much zing.

The third book 'Masquerade' lost me early on. The heroine Marguerite is seeking vengeance on those who helped her father into an early grave. An attractive American comes along. That's about all that sunk in. It wasn't awful, but for me there was nothing compelling. There was a lot of dull dialogue between these five older guys. I must confess I zoned out and skipped a lot of it.

Tries too hard to be funny and/or dramatic, echoing several other texts by other authors...some brief strokes of brilliance, some humourous characters and situations, but interwoven with sex scenes, and drawn-out pacing, plodding along, to reach the inevitable HEAs...i find it very odd that the heroines will have sex before marriage, considering how miserable were the lives of bastards, and the mothers’ of bastards, during those times...i really do not think the heroines would have risked it, even if a wedding was promised...it was difficult enough, even 50 years ago...unrealistic events, as well as unbelievable plots, slow pacing, odd behaviours and strange characters, trying to be funny, brave, melodramatic or tragic...at least it was cheap...

Too too long caused by repetitious lines as well as "lines within lines". How many times do we need to be told how tall, fat, silly or unscrupulous a character is and how many lines really should have added tidbits kindly placed within brackets?!! And sadly I felt there was no depth to the plots.
