I had every intention of reading these books in order of when they were written/published, but somehow, I ended up reading this book first. Ah well...
A World Apart 4/5
This was a pretty fun read. While some passages seemed a bit stilted (at least to my taste - like seriously??? Calling the warrior-like h "honey" threw me for a loop), I still enjoyed the romance. Shame the ending was pretty awkward, but how else could you marry two characters from different worlds?
Impossible 5/5
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one! It was a more updated (could one describe this story as "updated" even though it was obviously set in an older, medieval setting? Anyways, I digress) version of Romeo and Juliet. It was so cute!
Sealed with a Kiss 4/5
This was honestly quite well written, but the setting just didn't quite fully appeal to me.
Kiss Me, Kate
This really should've appealed to me, particularly since it fit the intended fairy-tale theme of these books to a T, but... I dunno. I guess that more could've been added to the story.

Like glistening jewels in a lovely golden crown, these four short romances form a dazzling collection. In A World Apart, a lovely Demon Slayer arrives in modern day New York. Kadra hunts the Bok, horrible creatures who devour human flesh, in the bowels of the Subway, where a new Bok leader has just established his lair. Aided by Harper Doyle, a private investigator, Kadra learns about love on Earth and the one man she desires to keep by her side.
In Impossible, the tale of Romeo and Juliet finds new expression. Erinn of Marlbury is proclaimed to be a powerful witch, a woman with the power to defeat Duke Tynon of Bordmoor. Unfortunately, the truth is that Erinn’s powers are somewhat lacking and often sporadic. When Bordmoor keep falls under a terrible spell, Tynon infiltrates Erinn’s home and spirits her away, demanding that she restore Bordmoor to its former glory. However, the keep seems to be under some kind of enchantment - Tynon cannot get back inside and the inhabitants cannot get out. Although the keep is in ruin, it reappears briefly each day, bringing with it the haunting image of a dark-haired woman weeping. Who is the strange woman and how can they help her? If Erinn cannot break the spell, who can? Perhaps, by working together, Erinn and Tynon can restore peace to their peoples, allowing their love to blossom.
Sealed With A Kiss finds beautiful Arianna promised to the laird of lairds, an elderly leader of a neighboring warrior clan. Lachlan MacLean, his nephew, comes to bring Arianna to her bridegroom, but Arianna is difficult to manage. Hoping to soil her reputation enough to be returned to her family, Arianna tricks Lachlan into a compromising situation. Unfortunately, she only makes him angry and increases their attraction for each other. At last resigned to her fate, Arianna pleads for one last night alone by the shores of an enchanted loch, her final night of freedom. When Lachlan finds her there, he can no longer resist Arianna’s charms. How can Lachlan and Arianna continue on, knowing what a sweet gift they are throwing away? It would take a miracle and perhaps a father’s love for them to find a way to be together.
Finally, in Kiss Me, Kate, Kate Singleton inherits Frogsmere, an intriguing estate in East Sussex. Agatha Culpepper’s estate is everything that Kate has ever dreamed of. Filled with wonderful books, old furniture and even a somewhat determined young frog, Frogsmere seems to be the perfect place to continue writing Agatha’s last manuscript. Michael Bellamy, the master of King’s Meadow, rescues Kate following a car accident and their attraction for each other only grows over the passing days. Nevertheless, Agatha’s previous agreement with Michael about the disposition of the mansion and the lands surrounding it may impact everything, throwing Kate and Michael at loggerheads. All seems lost until a little magic and a determined frog’s kiss enlighten Kate to the true magic behind her new home and the enduring promise of true love.

I enjoyed this book. It's the third I have read in this series. It was just as good as Once upon A Star and Once Upon A Rose. The stories are sweet and romantic, my kind of romances. The authors are some of my favorites and I can't wait to read the last two books.

I literally adored half the collection. Four short stories with only two "meh". I think that's ok. As always, stars stemmed from the ones I liked, but I'll give a brief run-down on the others too.
"A World Apart"-Nora Roberts
-This was my first Nora Roberts, and not only was it a smart marketing move to have her as top billing, but her story was by far the most entertaining to me:
*A demon slayer needing a human's help to slay a demon who slipped into the mortal realm? And said demon hunter is a woman for once?! Sold.
-Despite this being so short, I really did like their connection, how she's intrigued with the world but not scared of it (she goes alone into stores to get food she's found she likes -i.e. Coors and sour cream and onion chips-, flips through the T.V. channels until landing on something she likes rather than waiting up for him. It sounds small, but the details are telling).
-I liked her observations on Harper's world (how she finds it absurd to pay for bottled water, that it must have magical properties to warrant any price and is very disappointed when it's just water).
-Is "true love's kiss can break the demon kiss" a cliche solution? Yeah... but with the connection these two had over a short period of time, I can forgive it.
*Plus, we love that Harper doesn't make Kadra choose his world vs. hers; he's like "you saved me. I'll go wherever you're happiest". It's Kadra that lists off the things she's learning to enjoy in the mortal realm, and how because she's not bound to be a traditional demon slayer (in her world, this is her only purpose; marriage and kids can't be for her; she'd be able to briefly experience them, but need to place them in safe hands to continue fighting), she can have her demon slaying, and make a life/babies with Harper too. A woman choosing her choice. You go, Kadra 🙌!
"Impossible"-Jill Gregory
-Yeah... it read like an old school romance... I'm not a kidnap girlie.
-Tynon kinda always read like a villain to me.
*But I do admit, it was kinda silly for Erinn's family to lie about her vast magical abilities. It wasn't going to keep her safe by making her feared/revered; to Tyron, it made her all powerful and very much sought after.
"Sealed With a Kiss"-Ruth Ryan Langan
-Medieval fairy tale, where our girl, Arianna, is to be married off to an old warlord per her father's wishes, but falls for his nephew instead.
*Love that Lachlan's (and his people's) adoration and loyalty for his uncle Duncan makes story not really have a bad guy (until the rogue warriors, anyway). Duncan's not some lecherous meanie; he's just someone Arianna doesn't know enough/feels no connection to. But Lachlan does. Duncan not only took him in when Lachlan's parents were killed in battle, but made sure he was trained and loved (even made his heir). So there's guilt that comes with sleeping with Arianna.
-Arianna thinking "yeah, I'll just slip beneath Lachlan's blanket so everyone in plain sight can see we've shared a kiss.... and therefore spoiled me for my betrothed 🤯!? Marriage contract null and void, ya'll" vs. everyone not batting an eye because it's just a kiss had me giggling. She was so sure she'd won.
-I liked the twist that had everyone get an HEA:
1.Duncan dies of old age before Arianna even gets there.
2. Per his wish, Arianna will marry his heir
3.His heir in question? Lachlan!
-Is it cheesy? Sure. But the writing and world were so rich, I kinda want a full-length novel, fleshing out all the journeys (i.e. her personal connection to her family, maybe have her had a nice/funny correspondence with Duncan before realizing he was so much older, therefore have her infatuation for him be complicated, and what awaits Lachlan and Arianna once they arrive at the castle).
"Kiss Me, Kate"-Marianne Willman
-By far the most boring. It really just read like an info dump of what happens to Kate, who this mysterious relative is, who all the others are, and these facts (especially how she'd been fired because company take over but still had her best suggestion be "why don't you just move to New York?". This phrase is about to age me twenty more years, but "girl... in this economy?". Then again, this was published in 2002, so... yes, perhaps feasible in that economy.
-The love interest was bland, Michael was just sort of there. The frog prince homage was doing a lot of the heavy lifting.
-What a waste of a title homage. If you know, you know. Thought I was getting a much needed modernize TOTS again!

ONCE UPON A KISS is a delightful collection of very imaginative and romantic stories. It is a collection of 4 stories. It is a must for anyone who likes a touch of magic on their bookshelf.
All-new stories from the authors of the New York Times bestseller Once Upon A Rose.
Love, passion, and desire. It all begins with a kiss.
1. "A world apart" by Nora Roberts : This one didn't interest me much. I thought of quitting it but then thought of being a bit patient.
2. "Impossible" by Jill Gregory : This was fun. M glad I kept a little patient. :)
3. "Sealed with a kiss" by Ruth Ryan Langan : was enjoyable
4. "Kiss Me, Kate" by Marianne Willman : was entertaining.
Over all, OK OK . I wouldn't suggest this book to anyone.

So this was the original book in which the Nora Roberts story "A World Apart" which I read first in _A Little Fate_. It's probably one of my least favorite stories of her...the scenario seems like kind of a stretch, even for a fantasy romance, the dialogue seems stilted for her, the romance a little contrived...I just didn't like it that much.
However, this anthology also has three other stories, by other authors. Though I didn't like the writing styles nearly as well as I usually like Nora Roberts', I did like the stories of Jill Gregory's "Impossible" and Ruth Ryan Langan's "Sealed with a Kiss." Marianne Willman's "Kiss Me, Kate" was pretty simple--writing and plot--but it was okay.
It definitely wasn't the strongest of the "Once Upon A..." series.

Kadra, the Demon Slayer has been fighting the Bok her entire life but when Sorak jumps through a portal into another world she's led to a place that is foreign to her, New York City. It's there she meets her destiny in Harper Doyle, PI. Doyle is amused to find himself hung over and all of a sudden full of an Amazon dressed in leather who states she's there to hunt demons. Kadra knows nothing of this world and needs Doyle's help and when Doyle faces the Bok for the first time, he vows to do all he can to end them. But once they do, Doyle is determined to keep Kadra with him since they were made for each other. She knows it's impossible since they come from two different worlds but she can't deny her feelings for Doyle are unlike any she's had before.

2.5 stars overall
Nora Roberts' A World Apart - 2.5 stars: Buffy meets Xena meets Enchanted. Amusing but trying too hard.
Jill Gregory's Impossible - 3 stars: Sweet tale of a family feud started by a kiss -- and ended by another.
Ruth Ryan Langan's Sealed with a Kiss - 2 stars: Internally inconsistent, utterly improbable, and completely ignored laws of physics and biology.
Marianne Willman's Kiss Me, Kate - 2.5 stars: Started well. But got completely tangled up in its own criss-crossing plots and fantasy worlds, and landed with a bewildering crash.

** A World Apart-- Nora Robets
Really wasn't feeling this story, maybe because it's so far away from what she usually writes.
*** Impossible-- Jill Gregory
Really cute. Although I thought the whole my enemy can't see you as anything else went on too long.
**** Sealed with a Kiss-- Ruth Ryan Langan
Really good. I think Arianna was a brat, but she was young so...
* Kiss Me Kate-- Marianne Willman
I think the thing with this story is that it was way too short to make me like any of the characters.

Really not into mythical, dragon-slayer stories so while I enjoyed the beginning of most of these stories would not gush that they were great.
A World Apart - Buffy fought Slayer, found true love and won pizza and beer.
Impossible - Impossibily naive characters although portrayed as these savage he-men.
Sealed with kiss - Mythical, whimisical, lovingly confusing.
Kiss me, Kate - Wonderful beginning - confusing middle - Alice in Wonderland ending. This was the biggest letdown of all four stories (probably because I started reading this first).

I must not have paid attention when choosing this book. I don't like books with vampires, wolves, ghosts, or other world type themes. This collection of books had them all. I only read ONE of the entire collection. It was by Ruth Ryan Langan-Sealed with a Kiss- and the "spirit" part of the book was minimal. I liked it, but the others I didn't even read.

Loved it
This book is very captivating. Each author brings an amazing talent to this book. I didn't think I would like a book written by 4 separate authors but as I read each short story I began to love all the authors. Thank you Nora for broadening my reading and introducing me to Jill, Ruth, and Marianne.

I tried, I really did but I just can't do the time travel thing so that eliminated the Nora Roberts story. Frankly, her name was the main draw on this for me. I scanned the rest of the stories but not even one about kissing frogs and princes convinced me to read any other stories to completion.
June 18, 2017
It's always difficult to rate a book with several stories, particularly when they are written by different authors. The best of this anthology was "Impossible" by Jill Gregory. My least favorite was the one by Nora Roberts.

sealed with a kiss by ruth ryan was fun to read
jill gregory"s impossible was also fun
nora roberts worlds apart was enjoyable
mariann willman's kiss me kate was entertaining
jill gregory"s impossible was also fun

I've read a lot of compilations from this group of ladies, and this one is just as lovely as the others. With a short story, you have less time to develop setting and character. These ladies always do a great job giving you max scope in minimum space!
August 27, 2017
Some of the stories had plot holes that didn't sit well with me, while some scenes became improbable. I had high expectations, but sadly, I was disappointed.
