I have had a look at this on kindle and I'm a bit confused about the format. It doesn't seem to be available as a collected edition on kindle Australia. The amazon link from GR takes you to two completely separate books (both full price). Both say they are 'a novel in three parts'????I like all three authors so I tried a sample of The Lady Most Willing, but it seemed pretty silly and instalove. The kidnapping trope is not my fav. I will try a sample of The Lady Most Likely and see.... Fingers crossed it's more appealing. I was keen to do a Christmas group read, but I'm not sure whether this one will be for me.
Jan, you're right! I nominated (double-checked) the 2nd book, but I can see why the mix-up. I don't know if people voted for the 1st book or the 2nd. I haven't read either, so I'll leave that up to moderators.

I will delete this post and create a.new one tomorrow if everyone agreeable.

I have started reading The Lady Most Likely, which is about a house party just after the Season. Doesn't seem to be anywhere near Christmas time, so yes, definitely the second book, which looks like it is definitely Christmas.

This is actually two novels. People can choose to read one or both.
The Ladies Most...: The Collected Works: The Lady Most Likely/The Lady Most Willing by Julia Quinn, Eloisa James and Connie Brockway
Three bestselling authors. Two delightful novels. One terrific collection! From Julia Quinn, author of the Bridgerton series, now streaming on Netflix—writing along with close friends and popular authors Eloisa James and Connie Brockway—comes THE LADIES MOST… a duo of cleverly crafted novels, The Lady Most Likely and The Lady Most Willing, together for the first time.
THE LADY MOST LIKELY
Hugh Dunne, the Earl of Briarly, needs a wife, so his sister hands him a list of delectable damsels and promises to invite them—and a few other gentlemen—to her country house for what is sure to be the event of the season. Hugh will have time to woo whichever lady he most desires. Unless someone else snatches her first.
The invitation list includes:
The always outspoken Miss Katherine Peyton
The impossibly beautiful (and painfully shy) Miss Gwendolyn Passmore
The widowed Lady Georgina Sorrell (who has no plans to marry, ever)
And your hostess, Lady Carolyn Finchley, an irrepressible matchmaker with romantic plans for every last one of them—especially THE LADY MOST LIKELY to marry an eligible Earl.
THE LADY MOST WILLING
Taran Ferguson, laird of his clan, is determined that his ancient (if not so honorable) birthright be secured before he dies. When both his nephews refuse to wed, he takes matters into his own hands, raiding an English lord’s Christmas ball and making off with four lovely potential brides (and one very irate duke). When his nephews, the Comte de Rocheforte and the Earl of Oakley, arrive for their annual holiday visit, they are drawn into a matchmaking party, of sorts. Among the unwitting guests are:
Miss Fiona Chisholm, a beauty with a scandalous past
Lady Cecily Tarleton, a lovely heiress—but she’s English
Miss Catriona Burns, a lady with no name or fortune, so clearly someone made a mistake!
As the snow piles up outside the highland castle, and the guests are forced to pass the time together, the initial dismay turns to unanticipated attractions and then irresistible passions – and indeed, there might be one LADY MOST WILLING to marry a Scottish lord.
