The stories in this book vary from not-so-good to absolutely wonderful.
For Richer or Poorer (Allison Lane) I don't know anything about this author; thus I am uncertain if the 'Three Beaux' are part of a series. Whatever the case, two of the Beaux figure prominently in this story.
Richard sees a poorly-dressed woman sneak into his sister's wedding. He helps her escape her guardian, especially when he finds out she is an abused relative of his archenemy.
A Marriage of True Minds (Edith Layton) This is a cleverly written story about the down-side of the class system in England. Terence wants to save his Viscount brother from a wealthy, but lower-class woman (Joanna).
Valerie, Joanna's sister, wants to keep her sister from the clutches of the mindless aristocracy. She and Terence decide to join forces to keep them apart. The last scene is wonderful.
The Marriage Scheme (Lynn Kerstan) This seemed to be an overblown plot device; the parents (of the three young men in question) fight over everything.
The duchess wants Julia, an orphaned ward, to marry her oldest son; while the duke wants his ward to marry the youngest. However, the middle son wants Julia for his bride. How can they help his parents believe it is their wish too?
A Match Made in Heaven--or Hell (Barbara Metzger) Old Nick and St. Peter are having an argument about a dying British man of nobility: Hugh, Marquess of Hardesty. In London, Hugh is a notorious womanizer; but he saved many men by taking leadership of rudderless soldiers on the Spanish battlefield.
After long arguments, Satan and St. Peter decide to let him live, and see if he can redeem himself. Both are confident that Hugh will be theirs.
A Hasty Marriage (Carla Kelly) This is an absolutely delightful story about a 32 year-old spinster who runs away from home, rather than marry a boring man of the peerage. She runs to her old governess and meets an American sea captain. The story is deliciously different.
