I liked the characters and I liked their situation. He doesn’t fit Anne’s ideal husband (he will never be easily controlled) but he proposes that he help her find a husband. Rhys Alexander Hamilton, Duke of Dorset is a man determined not to marry until he has no choice meets Anne and is charmed by her. Her parents tempestuous relationship has soured her on the idea of passion and love. Anne, however, doesn’t really want to marry but if she does she certainly doesn’t want to marry for love. SOMETHING NEW by Stefanie Sloane: Miss Anne Brabourne has an uncle as a guardian who has declared that she must marry by her twenty-first birthday. It definitely made me want to know more about these girls. For a prologue, this one managed to pack a lot of information into a few pages. The four find a old coin which they agree to use to find their husband and if it works, they will pass it along to the next girl. SOMETHING OLD by Julia Quinn: This is the prologue to the stories and introduces the four heroines: Miss Beatrice Heywood, Miss Cordelia Padley, Lady Elinor Daventry and Miss Anne Barbourne. This is an anthology of four stories about four friends from Madame Rochambeaux’s Gentle School for Girls and the sixpence coin which brings each of them a husband. “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a sixpence in your shoe.”
