**3.5 stars**I love the Winter Olympics so much; more than the Summer Games. I've always been fascinated by the skaters, dancers, skiiers, jumpers....And the fact that this anthology is set around the Winter Games made reading this a no brainer. The Olympics are coming next month (!), making this the perfect time to read Love and Other Games.After the 2012 Olympics, I remember hearing about the insane amount of hook-ups and condom useage in the Olympic Village. Thousands of hard bodied athletes, not to mention all the extra people, in close proximity is sure to cause heightened and fast-paced feelings and actions. Taking that into account, the insta-lust, if not the love, is an easier pill to swallow. In Love and Other Games, we get four stories of these elite athletes having intense encounters with non-athletes, encounters full of raging lust that leave them wanting more, headed towards love.All the stories in the anthology were fast-paced (duh) and sexy. They were also fun and charming. My very favorite story was Worth More than Gold, featuring a fun heroine and a dead sexy Norwegian. That one was sexy and made me laugh out loud several times. I would recommend the entire anthology based on that story alone. I also really enjoyed Trouble with Gold, which opened with a funny and humiliating prank. I did enjoy the two other stories as well, but the two mentioned really stood out in my mind. I really liked that all the stories were tied together by the superstition surrounding the lucky torch. That aspect gave a sense of cohesion that I appreciated.If you're looking for a set of fun and sexy stories that will get you in the mood to watch hot athletes in spandex, give Love and Other Games a shot.
