4.5 from me. I find Anthologies tend to be rather hard to review for me. For the most part though, these book all get a standing ovation from me. Theres a little bit of everything from humor, to heat. And for short stories most of them held my attention. Im not usually a fan of shorts as much as regular length books, due to always feeling like the story was rushed. I didnt have that problem with these stories. Each one is well written, and planned out for the short length.

This was an enjoyable set of love stories, although I don't like finishing a book without an ending, to read that I have to buy Book 2 for the rest of the story. Oh well, that was my least favorite, anyway. If I remember, correctly, the second one was liked best!
