What would the holiday season be without a collection of short stories to enjoy? So pour yourself a cup of hot cocoa – or something stronger – curl up in your easy chair, and forget about all the baking you have to do. You’ll probably find at least one good reason to park this anthology…
Mistletoe and Magic is, as you can imagine, an anthology that mixes Christmas with paranormal elements. Whether each story is successful depends on how subtle the writer’s touch is, and how characters react when faced with the supernatural.
These twelve books were reviewed as one. Eight of the books were reissued in early 2004. The ISBN and Amazon link are for Stranger in Paradise, the final reissue. Amazon links for each of the reissues can be found at the bottom of this review. Our database does not allow us to input more than…
I’m always a little leery of romance anthologies. Even though I’m often in the mood to read a quick short story instead of a deeply involving tome, I’ve found that romance often doesn’t work for me in a short format – there’s simply not enough time to develop the relationship convincingly. Erotica, on the other…
I want to admit, rather sheepishly, that I bought this book by mistake. Over the summer I saw a new Stephanie Laurens’ title at Amazon.com and assumed, very illogically, that it was the new Bar Cynster romance. After receiving it, I beat myself up for not checking first, and headed right back to Amazon.com to…
They’re back. The leading ladies of erotic romance have brought us 4 new tales that, just like the ones in their earlier anthology Captivated, are not for the faint of heart. I must warn you, if you are prone to blushing or if you are prone to giggling at really purple prose, do not read…
Once Upon a Dream remains true to its title; each of the four stories presented here is woven around the concept of a dream, whether it’s an actual dream that may hold a clue to real love or just the feeling of being in a dream. It remains, however, the typical mixed-bag that I have…
As the title states, this fairly fun anthology brings together opposites in four short stories. You get a wilderness woman and a chef; a citified CEO and a small-town girl; a cartoonist and a rough-and-tumble sheepdog trainer; a princess and an adventurer.
As the title indicates, these stories all involve weddings. Not ordinary weddings, however, but marriages of convenience. In three cases, the bride and groom are complete strangers and must wed for reasons other than love. This book is a mixed saddlebag, if you will, of historical Western stories and styles, and as anthologies go, it’s…
The Grand Hotel is an anthology of Regency Romances stories which all feature guests from the brand-new Grand Hotel. The stories vary in quality, but none are outright duds, and three are pretty good. Overall it’s an enjoyable read.
