This is an anthology that consist of three very interesting stories for three different authors. All other stories were fun to read, had very intriguing concepts, and were under 100 pages. I don’t think any of these stories are perfect and a few of them could have use more pages but in general I enjoyed my self when reading it.

The concept of this story was very intriguing, true lovers form many many years ago find each other in our modern day (well 2004’s modern day). If this was a full book I would probably immediately put it on my TBR list, This concept could have totally been explored more in a full 300-400 page book and maybe should have been. Because despite this concept being interesting, I don’t think it was very well executed in the less than 100 page story especially for and erotic story.
I would think that a less than 100 page erotic story would focus basically only on the sex of both present and past. Instead it focused mostly all on the past and a strange amount of that time on their traveling and the current war. There just wasn’t a lot of sex for any story but especially for an erotic story. If I picked this story up not in a anthology but by its self I would have been very disappointed if I was looking for a erotic sort story.

Now this is what I have come to expect from a short erotic story! Almost every single second is spent focused on sex and not much else. There is a plot that is perfectly satisfactory for the purpose of the story and actually quite relatable for what I can imagine is many people. The ending was quick and straight to the point (my favorite kind in a story like this). There isn’t much else to say about this story it was exactly what is should have been and what you would expect.

The first thing I have to say about this story is that it is not an erotic short story. There are only maybe two sex scenes and at least in my opinion that is simply not enough.
Besides that, this was an interesting concept and story except for its one flaw, it was only like 70 pages. If this had been explored in the length of a book not a short story it could have been amazing. But without the extra length it was just an extremely awkward story that was the most rushed thing I have ever read (and that’s really saying something).
All the stories had concepts that genuinely interested me and cute couples that I wouldn’t mind reading more of. Overall, this anthology was interesting and a nice way to spend a few hours. I don’t think I would exactly recommend it to anyone but if someone was interested in reading it I definitely wouldn’t tell them not to. I am excited to look it to these authors other works and see if anything interest me.

Despite the cover art on the Goodreads entry, this is actually a really intriguing romance collection of short stories that I received via Netgalley. The first and the last have magical storylines, and the middle story is about a musician finding love. They are all very different and would be perfect for someone that wanted a sampling of different genres of romance without committing to a whole book or series. They are all well-written and I am curious to read the previous book in this "series".

This anthology book has 3 stories in it. All three stories were interesting and easy to read. However, only the second story, Let's Get Crazy, is the only one that I would categorize as erotic. The other two stories could have used a few more steamy scenes.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Just loved this book and recommend it to everyone.
