Thief of Hearts was originally published by Ellora’s Cave in 2003 – Wild Hearts is a new short story I was a huge fan of Batman: The Animated Series, so don’t take it the wrong way when I say that the book worked best for me when I pretended it was set in Gotham City….
Described by the publisher as a paranormal anthology about the “wild instinct in everyone”, this trade paperback hits some very high notes, indeed, along with a few bewildering ones. But more about that later.
A variety of paranormal creatures populate Demon’s Delight, an anthology featuring four short stories. One story is terrible, but the other three are wonderful and I’ll probably re-read them as soon as I finish this review.
I’ve never read a dragon book (unless you count Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) and wasn’t sure what to expect from this anthology. I thought that, even if it turns out that I don’t like reading about dragons, at least I could be sure of getting good writing and storytelling, as I have…
Romance anthologies are sometimes organized around a theme such as holidays (Christmas) or occupations (ranchers). Real Men Do It Better has no theme other than the four men are all hot and sexy. There’s an ex-lineman, an owner of a meditation center, a DEA agent, and a salvage diver. As in most anthologies, some stories…

Who Needs Cupid? is an anthology of connected short tales that revolve around a coffee shop in a small town in Illinois. I’m a fan of small town stories, but this anthology didn’t engage me at all. The stories were as light as the froth on a cappuccino, but not at all tasty.
I’ve been a fan of the Crimson City series since Liz Maverick’s first tale, so I looked forward to diving into Shards of Crimson. After all, what’s not to like? It’s four tales set in a world of filled with eternal love, unbridled lust, and edge-of-your-seat excitement and peopled with a cast of werewolves, vampires,…
Pink Ice is the type of anthology I can sink my teeth into: four inter-connected stories that are woven together as much as they are distinctly separated. Three sisters, one jewel thief, and a pair of pink diamond earrings made for an enjoyable read. Two stories sparkled more than the others but I wouldn’t have…
Do you want a book with lots of sex? This book is for you. Do you want a book with stories about love (actually, sex) at first sight? This book is for you. Do you want a book featuring stories about love (sex) at first sight and do you want that book to be truly…
