This is a difficult one to rate/review because it has a variety of stories by a variety of writers, and I did not read them all. Overall, I found there was often too much story to the stories. If I wanted all of the story parts I would get a harlequin romance. I think I also prefer this type of volume when it is written by women for women but recognize that that is a matter of taste.

I'll just say two things: 1) My favourites were the women revenge stories, and 2) The lack of editing got really old, really fast.
