Comments:

Overall, I liked the book.  There was an inconsitency btwn the prologue and epilogue that kinda nagged a little, but it didn't really have much to do with the stories (Oh, btw, the stories are all connected). 

The first story- by Kimberly Raye - was nice.  Cheryl Anne is the sister of the hero in her newest Drop Dead Gorgeous, so I listed it as book 1.5 in the "Love at First Bite" series, even though it didn't really have anything vampire in it.  She's been with Dayne for 10 years, but she's bored with their sex life and her life in general.  She's decided to spice it up, and dumps Dayne in the process.  But Dayne isn't willing to give her up...

I really liked the second story.  They fell in love rather quickly - within four days - but ::shrug:: I liked their romance anyway. 

I liked the third story as well.

The great gift is the passion for reading. It is cheap [Hah! It most certainly is not!], it consoles, it distracts, it excites. It gives knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is moral illumination. ~ Elizabeth Hardwick
