Short paranormal love stories. I read the "I Promise" by Cardeno C.
Alexander became a vampire and he had to leave his true love behind. But Jeremiah never forgot him.
Very romantic story, but too short.

This book is a collection of M/M supernatural short stories that were submitted to All Romance eBooks for a reader-voted contest. There was a strick 3,000 word limit. The submissions were both M/M and M/F; however, this volume (of six) contained only M/M stories.
"Taste a Werewolf" by Megan Derr ~ 5 stars
I haven't read much vamp/wolf, though I know there is a bit out there. I liked this story of a professor who reunites with a fantasized-about student. Ms. Derr can do little wrong in my book.
"The Visitor" by Rukaya Hamdi ~ 2.5 stars
Something about this story jus didn't click for me. I think it was the dream sequence In the middle of it.
"Bound For Death" by Anitra Lynn McLeod ~ 3.5 stars
Interesting premise. A vampire is bound at the beach awaiting sunrise and death. The man with him wants to be turned and save him. A pair of BJs and a ride and a f*€k later and not only has the friend been turned but.... Well, I'll let you find that out.
"Bite the Dust" by Sarah Madison ~ 2.5 stars
A vamp story. A very slow build with many shifts in "target". I think this needs to be longer to be a good story.
"Friends, Not Food" by Julia Talbot ~ 4.5 stars
This story had an easy premise to fit within the 3,000 word limit of this contest. Roommates finally coming together in a sexy hand job with the promise of more and more to cum... er, come. I'd love to see how this newly discovered relationship grows.
"Of Men and Mice" by Mira Ismine ~ 3 stars
This was a cute look at one of the challenges of interspecies shifter dating and then a short bit of apology sex to make up for a couple of small transgressions.
"I Promise" by Cardeno C. ~ 4 - 4.5 stars
A romantic look at a promise kept even after a change into a vampire. I would have liked a little more and to know about whether Alexander was as true to Jeremiah as J was to A. But then again, there was a strict word limit. I'd hope there was a continuation.
"Sitting a Feisty Stallion" by ID Locke ~ 5 stars
This was fun! This was hot! So very hot. And as much as I might like to meet these characters again, the story did not feel like it needed more to be complete.
In the interest of full disclosure, I grammer edited "Sitting a Feisty Stallion" for ID Locke.

"Taste a Werewolf" by Megan Derr - 2.5 stars. Weak set-up and lackluster characters.
"The Visitor" by Rukaya Hamdi - 2 stars. Poorly constructed. The flashback breaks up the action. It actually took me a few moments to even realize it was a flashback. At that point, I didn't care anymore.
"Bound for Death" by Anitra Lynn McLeod - 3 stars. Hot, but the ending is a bit weird.
"Bite The Dust" by Sarah Madison - 3.5 stars. This was my favorite in the anthology, but it ended too soon!
"Friends, Not Food" by Julia Talbot - 2.5 stars. Not as cute or as hot as it wanted to be.
"Of Men and Mice" by Mira Ismine - 3 stars. Funny little story about an established shifter couple.
"I Promise" by Cardeno C. - 2.5 stars. Too short for me to care much about the characters. This premise could have been interesting in a longer story, though, where there would be room to build up the angst.
"Sitting a Feisty Stallion" by ID Locke - DNF. The whole story appears to be one prolonged sex scene featuring an established couple I have no reason to care about.

I've had this book on my to read list for several years (6) and I'm trying to clean out some of the older books to make room for new adventures.
So I read the book and some of the stories are good, some not so good. Thus the three star rating.

This is a collection of M/M supernatural short stories. Some were great, some were OK, but overall, I enjoyed this collection.
"Taste a Werewolf" by Megan Derr ~ 4 stars
Megan Derr writes great stories. This one did not disappoint. It was a too-short story of a vampire professor who has his fantasized-about wolf student show up as a paid escort. Wish this was a bit longer.
"The Visitor" by Rukaya Hamdi ~ 3 stars
This one wasn't my favorite. There was a dream sequence in the middle that made me not quite understand what the heck was going on. By the time I figured it out, the story was over. It wasn't bad, just not my favorite.
"Bound For Death" by Anitra Lynn McLeod ~ 4 stars
So freakin' sweet! A vampire is handcuffed at the beach awaiting sunrise and death. A friend is with him, offering to save him but the guy knows that he would never be free from those who bound him if he leaves. This had a great twist for me. Really liked this one!
"Bite the Dust" by Sarah Madison ~ 4 stars
A vampire who is on the hunt for a kill and finds something even better. Biggest problem with this story? WAY too short. We meet the characters and while I liked the 2nd MC, I am not sure if I like the 1st MC or not and would love to see these guys together for real.
"Friends, Not Food" by Julia Talbot ~ 4 stars
Story about a human roommate in a house full of vampires and werewolves and his connection with one of the roommates. I liked the secondary character in this. Funny.
"Of Men and Mice" by Mira Ismine ~ 3 stars
Very cute and well written story about a fox shifter. Great twist thrown in. I enjoyed this.
"I Promise" by Cardeno C. ~ 5 stars
I love CC's stories. This was great for being so short, but want a lot more. This was a story about a guy whose life changed by being changed into a vampire and the love he left behind.
"Sitting a Feisty Stallion" by ID Locke ~ 3 stars
This was one of the few stories I thought was just right in length. A shifter Stallion (fae of a kind I don't remember) and his lover. Only thing I wondered about is how they kept their relationship such a secret. It was cute, though.

Taste of A Werewolf: Oh sexy hot for teacher short story. I love stories like this, but once again hate that it was so short.
The Visitor: Okay I have to say that the flashback of their getting together was the only good thing in this story.
Bound for Death: Oh that was a twist I never saw coming. I'm so glad that Mikkel was in love with Blake.
Bite The Dust: NOOOOOO I want this story to continue just a little longer, enough for them to at least get to have sex!!!
Friends, Not Food: Bite, bite, bite! Damn I want Rye to bite Dane so freaking bad! Talk about panty wetting sexy!!!!
Of Men And Mice: The story was okay when in shifter form, but once they were both back in human form and talking about eating the mouse and bringing it back up for him, I wanted to puke.
I Promise: Aw, I loved that Xander loved Jeremy so much he spent so many years tracking him down! So very romantic and loving.
Sitting A Feisty Stallion: LOL, this story was just too funny. Makes me wanna go horseback riding, lol.

Ok, since there are several stories by several authors here is what I think of each one to go along with my overall rating.
1. Taste of a Werewolf by Megan Derr – This one didn’t hold my attention much. I forgot it as soon as it was over.
2. The Visitor by Rukaya Hamdi - Same with this one. I didn’t care for this one at all.
3. Bound for Death by Anitra Lynn McLeod – Sadly, I didn’t like this one either.
4. Bite the Dust by Sarah Madison - Just when this story started to get good, boom the end! I hate that. Otherwise, I liked this one.
5. Friends, Not Food by Julia Talbot – I really liked this one. It was so cute!
6. Of Men and Mice by Mara Ismine - What can I say about this one. Just ewwww! Didn’t like it at all!
7. I Promise by Cardeno C. – I really, really liked this one!! 4 stars by itself!
8. Sitting a Feisty Stallion by ID Locke - I really liked this one as well.
So of the 8 stories, I only liked 4. So that's why I gave it 3 stars.
