    I found an old ('04) Christmas anthology to read. I wanted an antho as I have been very busy this week and thought short stories would be good and these 3 were.

    It's very HOT, our first hot spell, where I live so this was fun to read at this time.

However Sasha's just friends with his brother, she's had a crush on Blake for years and she falls for him big time, even giving him the gift of her virginity because she thinks he loves her too.

For a week, until her grandmother gets home from Europe, she has to keep away from Patrick, and Brant helps her.
