Masquerade by Jennifer Probst: I was a little disappointed by this one. Seriously? She had no clue that it was her best friend behind the mask? How did he know it was her then, initially? I just found it not believable.
Ancient Pleasures by Jess Michaels: I don't think the Egyptian tomb spoke to me. Interesting idea though. Steamy.
Manhunt by Kimberly Dean: Ugh I struggled with the sex in this one, it was too close to rape for me. I get that she was attracted to him but that doesn't make it not rape. And just because she said no and he didn't have sex with her that night doesn't change it for me. That said this story was better than the first 2 stories for me. For some reason this one was more believable. There were a lot of gaps in the story though that did get filled later, mostly, but would have been nice to get info sooner.
Wake Me by Angela Knight: This one seemed pure fantasy to me so even when the sex was questionably consensual, it was a dream so it was less creepy. I enjoyed it.

I love the Secrets books, my favourite short stories. I've read all these up till till 14 (that reminds me I must go get the rest!) and this is one of my favourites, number 11.
I love Angela Knight's short stories, wowser, she's a shocker and a happy guilty secret (I devour all her short stories and I love rereading them!) and I also love Jess Michaels, one of the first erotic authors I ever read, and she's still my fave right up there with Angela Knight.
So, this volume has two of my favourite authors in it. So I was bound to love this one.
I didn't like the Masquerade story so much, but the other three were very good.
Get all the Secrets books, they're really fabulous and you might discover some new authors along the way.

December 8, 2010I'm not going to rate this since I only read the first (Masquerade by Jennifer Probst) and last (Wake Me by Angela Knight) stories in this book. I've been wanting to try Angela Knight for awhile now and I have to say that I really like her writing style. I look forward to reading more of her. I was not a fan at all of Jennifer Probst. I love books/stories about Masquerade Balls but I think she did a terrible job. Maybe because it was a short story so she couldn't add all the yummy details of the place, characters and gowns? I don't know, to me I didn't think the characters were very believable. No depth to them at all

This was a sweet anthology I scarfed up. I bought it only so I could read WAKE ME by Angela Knight. I'm a fan of Ms. Knight and this was up to her usual standard. This was a good anthology to try out a few other authors I've never tried before.

Red hot sex scenes but also some great stories.

Wake Me is very cute. Excellent humor and (ahem) tongue-in-cheek story.
