I liked the book; the stories, for the most part, were good... but there were at least two that I really, really liked and I'll keep the book for them.... Overall, all five stories were enjoyable to one degree or another ~ certainly more than I had first thought they would be. The reason that I got this book was because of the Mary Balogh story. Every one of her stories that I've read has been an amazingly heartwarming story. Patricia Rice is the only other author in this anthology that I'd previously heard of ~ and her story was the other one that I loved.
