It absolutely pains me to write this review since the authors have supported a great cause (for cancer) with this compilation. However several  of these short stories are cliffies and I cannot bear this new trend. I avoid them like the plague and I feel like I was tricked into this. Some of the stories were absolutely horrible.+++Spoilers+++I primarily bought this book because of 'Taking the Shot' by Catherine Gayle. I love her work and have been following her 'Portland Storm' series. I loved the characters in this novella because they've made appearances as secondary characters in the series. This novella was only a snapshot and not worth buying really since it only covers where the H takes the h to her prom.As for the other stories I can say this briefly - First book 'Tangled in the Laces' was a horrible cliffie and I will not be buying the next one in the series on principle.Hooking Hannah was the best story in the book, I really enjoyed it and it was complete. I may look into more work by this author.Crashing the Boards was only part of the main characters story, to be followed a full length novel. Not interested in more 'unfinished' stories so I didn't read it.A Valuable Trade - I don't even want to say how angry this book made me. I hated the "H", who basically cheats on his girlfriend of 5 years with the h at the start of this story. The h had no idea but I had no respect for the "H" and his behaviour. He took the whole thing so lightly that one could imagine him doing the same thing to the h in the future.Blind Pass - This was just so not my thing. If you are into the whole BDSM thing then you might enjoy it. I prefer romanceCaptain, My Captain - this was flatout weird. The writing was horrible and honestly reading about how the "H" takes some girl's virginity one night (not even sure why it was a part of this story) and then gets involved with the h soon after was too strange for me. Never mind the user ex in the background.I'd say donate the $5 to support Cancer and skip the time on this book.
