My appetite is whet! I love this anthology! I am impressed by the variety (which is the spice of life). The stories are all short romances that spotlight a food item, but that's all they have in common. The menu includes contemporary, fantasy, science fiction, and paranormal. The relationships range from MF, FF, MFM, to MFMM. Some stories are a single bite, some are appetizers, and others are entrees. If anything, this is a taster's menu. A smorgasbord of flavors ranging from mild to spicy, to sweet, savory, and salty.
Each story has a spice level indicated on the title page, along with a quick blurb, so it's easy to choose your next bite. So far, I have read half the stories, so I am still hungry for more. I'm loving finding new authors, as well as enjoying some familiar writers.
My Big Sweet Waffle Monster: Just a taste of a sweet MF sci-fi story, it is a peek at a series.
The Macaron Witch: A fun, sweet, contemporary MF short story that made me want a macaron.
Her Sexy Chef: A contemporary story about a secret food critic. It had so many typos that I skipped it.
Her Eggplant Lover: It's a contemporary, funny, MF short story about a chef who makes delicious dishes with eggplants, as well as a bit of the other kind of eggplant.
Her Winy Goddess: A short, fantasy FF story with Greek deities.
His Fishy Model: I love this contemporary MF short story about a rock star, a charter yacht, and a sushi dinner.
His Forbidden Therapist: A short and sweet, MF, sci-fi romance starring apples, a gladiator, and a therapist's assistant.
Her Donut Daddies: This menage a trois short story is a little kinky. I loved it! The FMC is a hot mess, one of the men is a second chance romance.
Her Popping Mates: A fun, corny menage a trois story. It's a peek at a fantasy world with shifters. I wish it had been proofread.
Her Seasoned Delivery: A funny, foodie, MF, contemporary romance. I am now obsessed with this author.
Her Steamy Alphas: This is a cute short story with a scarred siren and three gargoyle shifters. I liked the little bit of drama, but I could go back for seconds.
Her Peppery Dom: I didn't finish this MF contemporary story. There were a lot of grammatical errors.
Her Plant Man: A short, sweet, and slightly sticky story. It's a MF, sci-fi story with a human man and an extra-terrestrial female. I loved this two-bite appetizer that was narrated by the man.
Her Greedy Boss:
Her Juicy Dom:
Her Pastry Shifters: I love this hilarious, sweet, and silly reverse harem short story that caused a craving or three.
Their Bendy Bond Girl:
His Curvy Cyborg:
Golden Baked:
Each author's story has a different level of editing and proofreading, so there are typos. Depending on how much you can stomach, it shouldn't be too distracting.
